I'm not a fan of 'Emperors in Space'.
Ironically, I had an Empire in mine, but it was very much wrapped around the founding family having access to Old Human technology that could not at that time be duplicated. And later, they'd used what they learned from that to develop some technology they kept under their hat. It was just waaay too much trouble for the worlds they brought in to buck them, and they were smart enough to know when to use a light touch.
