Line 3:
Portrayals from a rising empire's viewpoint will typically emphasize pioneering, exploration and epic deeds. Portrayals from the viewpoint of its victims will, of course, emphasize ruthless tyranny over indigenous peoples. It is possible to proceed with both viewpoints in mind. A rising empire doesn't have to imply primarily military conquest, but will include a period of expansion by whatever means. Many a [[Hegemonic Empire]] is this and will become an empire classic later in its history.

* The Star Kingdom of Manticore reforms into the Star Empire of Manticore in the [[Honor Harrington]] stories.
* The [[Foundation]] is intended to become the framework for a Second Galactic Empire, and indeed most of the stories showcase their progress towards that state. It is especially prominent in the three later stories in the first book of the series, with ''The Mayors'' being about the Foundation's establishment of complete control over its neighbours, ''The Traders'' showing an example of the continued expansion of the Foundation's influence through the [[Hegemonic Empire|trade-religion-science policy]] and ''The Merchant Princes'' being about the shift to a more pure trade-based [[Hegemonic Empire]] after the trade-religion-science policy stops being effective.
