Greatest Empire in Science Fiction...
I don't know whether I should put this in the TV or Movie section, but what is your favourite superpower in science fiction?
My favourite superpowers in science fiction is the Galactic Empire by far and the Daleks.

But the Galactic Empire is a galaxy spanning superpower as well and the Death Star seems to be a match for a Vorlon Planet Killer or a typical Shadow ship. Unless we never got to see the real Vorlon and Shadow battle-fleets in Babylon 5.
