Should someone discover a way to unify all the known forces, the key to transcending temporal limits as we now believe them to exist may be a natural outcome.

Those who actually work in that field disagree about your hope of transcending the speed of light. But perhaps you will prove them wrong. I hope so. The inter-stellar empire I hope to found will be slow going otherwise.

Some ET's and the government types familiar with them assert several things:

1) That time is not constant in every context. It only appears to be so because of our context.

2) That there are (as best as I can recall) 2-5 DIFFERENT ways around what appears to be a "speed-of-light limit" to travel.

(A) One supposedly involves a kind of warping of the time/space continuum we have to contend with such that as though on a rubberized plane, the two distant points are brought together as they would be if a heavy steel ball were placed in the center of the rubber plain.

(B) One supposedly involves traversing another dimension or set of dimensions which afford a type of short-cut to distant points in our time/space continuum.

(C) Another supposedly involves technology which manipulates time as merely another dimension to be accounted for and used productively in a travel venture.

I certainly don't pretend to understand the mechanics of such at all. But the more elaborate explanations in the related documents seemed quite plausible as far as they went.

I suspect your interstellar empire will have to be a subset of the King of King's encompassing empire or you won't stand a great chance of getting off first base.

And His model is humility, service as routes to advancement . . . and the last shall be first and the first shall be last. Tricky laws to set out empire-building with.
