empire this list we’re looking at
fictional empires that originated in
video games
that means no film or real life empires
will be covered here number 10 thes in
Saints Row 4 quite the entrance I
figured you had a flair for the dramatic
an intergalactic Empire that breaks the
will of the population they are
conquering by imprisoning them in a
simulation made up of their own worst
fears
I am the architect of your reality they
have quickly taken over the bizarre
version of Earth in which Saints Row
takes place through their technological
superiority and apparent use of
superpowers
I’m surprised you knew that I didn’t
Kinzie told me over the radio led by the
formidable warlord zinyak they are an
advanced race totally driven by galactic
conquest or galactic genocide if Zin
yaki gets bored
number nine Gaston Yin Empire Final
Fantasy 6 at the height of their
influence they held enormous areas of
both the southern and western continents
even before harnessing the Esper’s
magical power they were an advanced
military state that were intent on
expanding their borders through a harsh
and unforgiving dictatorship the magitek
Knights of which kefka is the first are
their most fearsome weapon a group of
magically enhanced humans who were only
opposed by the returners unintentionally
the enhancements eventually make kefka
one of the most powerful beings on the
planet to which he ends up betraying
Emperor Gaston and kills the rest of the
Empire along with most of the planet
number eight you’re leasing an empire
Dragon Age Inquisition Lord Inquisitor
we welcome you to the Winter Palace
unlike many other empires on this list
the Orlais are still the most powerful
state in their game universe your
reputation for getting results is
well-deserved famed for their high
culture and extravagant lifestyles they
have little time for anything other than
gaining prestige among other nobles and
relentlessly expanding their borders
throughout the world kindness to some is
cruelty to others you cannot be a savior
to them all this constant growth doesn’t
exactly make them popular with other
nations but they’re highly trained
Chevalier Knights will probably deal
with any resistance number 7 Empire of
the Rising Sun command and conquer Red
Alert 3
real-time strategy games provide the
perfect platform to showcase an empire
when that Empire has George decay
providing the voice for its Emperor it’s
going to be one worth taking note of
commanda you are destined to be awakened
Bushido the way of the warrior in this
alternate reality the Soviet Union have
gone back in time and killed Albert
Einstein which unintentionally led to
this new empire being established in
Japan survival is not a matter of chance
it is a matter of choice this new
superpower believes that world
domination is their divine destiny and
with mr. Sulu in charge it’s hard to
deny them at all hail Emperor Sulu given
enough time any man may muster the
physical with enough knowledge any man
may become wise
number 6 taiidan empire home world we
are about to enter the outer limits of
the tide an empire from the point of
view of the race that you control the
Kushan they senpai er rules using
tyranny to further their agenda and
maintain power the tide an empire has
become decadent and corrupt over the
centuries thousands of years prior to
the events of the game they were
victorious in a galactic war and sent to
surviving Kushan into exile on the
barren planet of Carrick in the events
of the game they decimated qurac after
they achieved faster-than-light travel
led by a mad emperor who has killed all
of his heirs for fear of being
supplanted they have held sway over a
large majority of the galaxy for
thousands of years
despite being riddled with corruption
number 5 nilfgaardian empire The Witcher
series drawing many similarities to the
Roman Empire through its strictly
regimented army and the way it
assimilates other nations elf guards
sometimes allows the previous rulers
they’ve just conquered to remain in some
sort of position of power get used to it
before long every soul from milk God to
the dragon mountains will kneel before
you in they’re intimidating black armor
they march upon the lands they wish to
take in regularly aggressive campaigns
with little consideration for the ruin
they bring upon the countries they
invade enough of this banter you will
agree
regardless led by the brutal but
intelligent Emperor Amir they have
continued their expansion throughout the
winter series
number four the kilrathi empire Wing
Commander series speaks of their plans
not of your toys tell me how you will
defeat the tens even though the kilrathi
may resemble cats they definitely will
not sit on your lap expecting you to
stroke them in fact if you meet them in
close combat they will likely toss you
around like a ball of wool do not be
emboldened by the presence of the heart
of the tiger among your despite
centuries of infighting they were
eventually united and easily conquered
numerous worlds due to their physical
and technological advantages I cannot
let them gain my stuff by technology
their defenses are only proven to not be
impervious when humans from the Terran
Confederation stand up against them you
will be prime examples to the other
races in the galaxy and clownish moons
number three the septum Empire Elder
Scrolls series
you
at its height the Empire stretched
across the whole of Tamriel the 21st
ruler of the Empire you really mmm plays
a major role throughout the Elder
Scrolls series but for all these years
I’ve never been the ruler of my own
dreams
initially the Empire was expanded
through military conquest but since then
many centuries have gone by with a
reasonable level of peace and prosperity
why I mean of course eventually rivaled
by the Aldmeri Dominion they had already
managed to establish themselves in the
history of the Elder Scrolls universe
excuse the blue button on may know of
this meeting number two
Protoss Empire Starcraft we shall
overcome the entire swarm with the might
and the fury that is our heritage
although the Protoss had reached the
height of their power long before the
events of the Starcraft games they still
had plenty of influence over hundreds of
planets in the galaxy when things kicked
off there is no greater glory than that
they consider themselves the firstborn
race of the universe and did not
necessarily take over planets on a whim
as they often intentionally do not
interfere with lesser races don’t let it
get to you man this happened to me once
who is this human Tassadar they are an
ancient race that has been educated by
godlike beings and their Dominion is
only upset by the arrival of the Zerg
infestation and the Terran Dominion it
centers

or galaxy let’s have a look at some
honorable mentions the imperial order

to dark space then we will rise a
million strong number one covenant
empire halo series in truth this is a
time to rejoice a moment that all the
covenants should savor formed from a
number of different alien races they are
the main antagonists to one of the most
iconic gaming heroes of all time the
Master Chief where is you elites grunts
jackals and brutes are all classic
enemies themselves forming the military
arm of a power that controlled much of
the Milky Way
although the profits have ultimately led
the whole empire on a pseudo religious
path of self-destruction the
technological feats they have achieved
through the exploration of the
forerunner artifacts make them a
monumental power in the Halo universe
