The Imperium is a series of consecutive human-dominated fictional galactic empires in the Traveller universe.
- The First Imperium (or Ziru Sirka) was an empire of the Vilani. "Ziru Sirka" means roughly "Empire of the Stars" in the Vilani language. At its height, the Ziru Sirka encompassed a total of over 15,000 worlds.
- The Second Imperium (or Rule of Man) was formed by the Solomani almost immediately after they conquered the First. The Rule of Man (also known perjoratively as the "Ramshackle Empire") collapsed after only a few centuries, however, due to the weight of stagnation that it had absorbed from the Ziru Sirka.
- The Third Imperium arose almost 2,000 years later, after an anarchic period known as The Long Night, when a small collection of planets known as the Sylean Federation embarked on a campaign to re-absorb the worlds of the two former empires. While still vast, the Third Imperium is somewhat smaller than its antecedents, consisting of some 11,000 worlds in total.
Depending on whichever version of Traveller one chooses to play, the Third Imperium either collapses into genocidal civil war after roughly a thousand years of existence ... or it is still stable and strong to this very day. The early years of the Third Imperium is the setting for T4 Marc Miller's Traveller. A well established Third Imperium is the setting for Classic Traveller and Traveller20. MegaTraveller and Traveller: The New Era are set after the collapse of the Third Imperium. GURPS Traveller is set in alternate timeline where the Third Imperium did not collapse.
