That would be cool. Or use an old game's history incorporated into your new game. Maybe make some old civ's fallen empires now.
'Advanced Start' slider. Let the AI run things for [0 ... 200] years before having the player pick an empire to take over.
HRE scenario. Do the above, then take the largest empire and make each planet in it a separate empire as if they were taken over by separatists, and you play as one of them. All of them have a mutual defense pact with each other against outside aggression only.
Random or Selected Empire Backstory. Default is 'pre-FTL species just discovered space travel'. Other options could be 'part of a fallen empire that broke away and lost most of their tech', 'space nomads looking for a home' (start with a colony ship and a negative income), 'refugees from empire X that colonized a new world', 'enlightened protectorate of empire Y', 'liberated fragment of empire Z'. X, Y, and Z would have to be advanced-start empires with several planets.
