Ever since its conception in 1987, the British television series Empire of Dying Suns (BBC-TV) has been praised for its depiction of a dark, dystopian empire, which featured human overlords diabolically enslaving and oppressing alien races. TV Guide said the series was "gloriously the antithesis of Star Trek..." The series aired for 8 seasons, going up against the American Star Trek: The Next Generation until 1994. Now that the series has reached its 25th anniversary, and the whole entire series can now be enjoyed on DVD, one has to ask, what would life be like without the series? What effect would it have had on the science fiction genre (e.g. world the Star Wars prequel trilogy have taken the same tone without the series?)....


OOC: This is a television series that doesn't exist. Imagine the RPG Warhammer 40K being made into a television series.
