* Isaac Asimov's Encyclopedia Galactica as presented in The Foundation Series is an attempt to compile all human knowledge in order to preserve it following the collapse of the Galactic Empire in the far future.

Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Alec Guinness ) explains that the Galactic Empire had all but exterminated the Jedi some twenty years before the events of the film, and seeks to train Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill ) to be the Order's last hope.

This is an " SF satire on the Middle East crisis and the War on Terrorism, and concerns what happens when the liberal Western Galactic Empire relocates the oppressed Minervan sect to their ancient homeland of Kennewick, Washington, in the midst of a US ruled by Christian fundamentalist fanatics .".

* In the video game Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds ( first released in 2001 ), selecting a Stormtrooper soldier ( Galactic Empire faction ) occasionally results in his reply " THX 1138 ready, sir!

Isaac Asimov's fictional Galactic Empire and Foundation series refer to Pax Trantorica and Pax Imperium.

Ann Sachs provided the voice of Leia in the 1980s radio dramatizations of the original Star Wars trilogy, and Lisa Fuson did so for the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi, Star Wars: Rebellion, and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds video games.

Leia is sent to Alderaan with R2-D2 and C-3PO and her adoptive parents, Bail and Breha Organa, where the Jedi believe she will be safe from the newly-declared Galactic Empire.

Lando Calrissian first appears in The Empire Strikes Back as the administrator of Cloud City, concerned primarily with keeping the Galactic Civil War and the Empire out of his affairs.

He becomes a responsible leader, keeping his operations out of the eyes of the Galactic Empire.

In the original draft scripts of the movie that would become Star Wars, the term " Stardestroyer " refers to two-man fighters flown by what would become the Galactic Empire in later drafts.

Propelled by Twin Ion Engines ( hence the TIE acronym ), TIE fighters are depicted as fast, fragile starfighters produced by Sienar Fleet Systems for the Galactic Empire.

A-wings are described as the fastest starfighters in the war between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire ; however, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron states that they are poorly shielded against attack.

He soon becomes an important figure in the Rebel Alliance, leading the struggle against the Galactic Empire.

When Padmé dies in childbirth, Jedi Masters Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi hide the children from their father and Emperor Palpatine, the ruler of the newly-declared Galactic Empire.

Meanwhile, Kenobi hid Luke on Tatooine while the Galactic Republic became the tyrannical Galactic Empire and Vader systematically hunted down and killed the Jedi.

The Galactic Empire, under the leadership of the villainous Darth Vader, is in pursuit of Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Rebel Alliance.

The Emperor of the Galactic Empire learns of this and wants to use Hari for political gain.

* Cleon I is the Emperor of the Galactic Empire, who lives on Trantor.

They land on there and find R. Daneel Olivaw, who explains that he has been paternalistically manipulating humanity for many millennia, and indeed, since Elijah Baley's time, which was long before the Galactic Empire or Foundation.

In a conversation between Hari Seldon and Daneel Olivaw, Seldon discusses the possibility that the Foundation will in fact incorporate Gaia into the Second Galactic Empire.

Later on, conquest of the entire galaxy made the Galactic Empire, with Trantor as its capital planet, a reality ; the planet no longer sending out ambassadors, but only governors to royal subject worlds.

Trantor is depicted as the capital of the first Galactic Empire.

* Galactic Terran Vasudan Alliance, a fictional galactic government in the FreeSpace series

The plot of the series focuses on the growth and reach of the Foundation, against a backdrop of the " decline and fall of the Galactic Empire ".

Asimov later integrated the Robot Series into his all-engulfing Foundation series, making R. Daneel Olivaw appear again twenty thousand years later in the age of the Galactic Empire, in sequels and prequels to the original Foundation trilogy ; and in the final book of the Robots series — Robots and Empire — we learn how the worlds that later formed the Empire were settled, and how Earth became radioactive ( which was first mentioned in Pebble in the Sky ).

They are connected by their early place in his published works and chronological placement within his overarching Foundation Universe, set around the rise of Asimov's Galactic Empire, between the Robot and Foundation series to which they were linked in Asimov's later novels.

It has never been published together with the novels, as it is connected only on the basis of being set during the Galactic Empire, after the Robot stories and before the Foundation series.

Some contortion was required to explain how the robots of the Robot series are almost completely absent from the Galactic Empire novels.

Galactic Empire series

# REDIRECT Galactic Empire ( series )

It is a galaxy-spanning regime established by the series ' lead villain, Palpatine, to replace the Galactic Republic in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

The Star Wars: Legacy comic book series, set 130 years after Return of the Jedi, explains that, during a civil war, the New Galactic Empire known as the Fel Empire declares war on the Galactic Alliance, the successor state of the New Republic.

The proposed instrument package for the series initially included: the Advanced Baseline Imager ( ABI ); the Hyperspectral Environmental Suite ( HES ); the Space Environment In-Situ Suite ( SEISS ), which includes two Magnetospheric Particle Sensors ( MPS-HI and MPS-LO ), an Energetic Heavy Ion Sensor ( EHIS ), and a Solar and Galactic Proton Sensor ( SGPS ); the Solar Imaging Suite ( SIS ), which includes the Solar Ultraviolet Imager ( SUVI ), the Solar X-Ray Sensor ( XRS ), and the Extreme Ultraviolet Sensor ( EUVS ); the Geostationary Lightning Mapper ( GLM ); and the Magnetometer.

However, the Galactic Empires from Foundation and the CoDominium universe are relatively benign organizations ; indeed, much of the plot of the Foundation series revolves around the issue of who can best and quickest revive the fallen galactic empire, it being taken for granted that this is a positive and worthy aim.

* In 1996, Marvel Comics and DC Comics teamed up to create Amalgam Comics it released several future-based comic book series called Legion of Galactic Guardians 2099

Probably the longest OVA series ever made was Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which spanned 110 main episodes and 52 gaiden episodes.

* The Galactic Empire in the Star Wars series extends throughout most of its galaxy.

Darkseid had been portrayed as a villain in Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show and The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians in the 1980s, but in this series, he was closer to the enormously powerful, evil cosmic emperor originally envisioned by Kirby.

However, before the May 1983 debut of that film, the character made his first chronological appearance in a series of Star Wars newspaper comic strips by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson, where he was portrayed as the leader of the alien species Mon Calamari, who were allies of the Rebel Alliance in their conflict with the Galactic Empire.

In the radio series, she is carried off and forcibly married to the President of the Algolian Chapter of the Galactic Rotary Club, and consequently does not appear in the second radio series at all.

( In Asimov's saga, the Galactic Era begins when the Galactic Empire is founded at an unknown date roughly 11, 000 years in the future: the timeline can be deduced from some hints Asimov dropped in his other science fiction works, including the Robot and Empire series.
