Emperors
A complete list of Galactic emperors and their dynasties does not exist; however, a number of names and their rule are known:
| Name | Dynasty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Frankenn I | Kamble | The first Galactic Emperor. |
| Loris VI | ||
| Aburanis | Introduced the "Law Codes of Aburanis." | |
| Kandar V | Transplanted the last inhabitants of Earth to Alpha Centauri. | |
| Agis VI | Wyan | Followed by Entun dynasty ca. 11,830 GE. |
| Manowell | Entun | Nicknamed "Bloody Emperor." |

| Stannell VI | Died 104 FE. | |
| Ammenetic the Great | Mentioned in Foundation and Empire, where Cleon II reminds that his grandfather was merely a pirate, and he now lives "in the luxurious palace of Ammenetic the Great." There is no information to position Ammenetic on the list of Emperors. and to assign him to a dynasty, except for the obvious fact that he must have lived and ruled before Cleon II. | |
| Cleon II | The last strong Emperor. | |
| Dagobert VIII | Final ruler of the Galactic Empire. Fled Trantor during the Great Sack by the rebel Gilmer. | |
| Dagobert IX | Resided on Neotrantor following the Great Sack of Trantor. At least one more Emperor presumably succeeded him, since the dynasty was stated to have survived for a century after the Sack. |

Famous quotes containing the word emperors:
“How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous. The dawn is my Assyria; the sun-set and moon-rise my Paphos, and unimaginable realms of faerie; broad noon shall be my England of the senses and the understanding; the night shall be my Germany of mystic philosophy and dreams.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
