Humanity also grew to eventually have galactic empires. While the date is uncertain, the first official [[Earth Empire]] formed in either [[2501]] by [[EarthGov]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters Inside (novel)|The Monsters Inside]]'') or [[26th century|2530s]], by the [[Earth Federation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Colony of Lies (novel)|The Colony of Lies]]'') By around the year [[4000]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') the Earth Empire's successor, the [[First Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] came into being.

The [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] was manipulated by the [[Jagrafess]], closing it off from other empires which it had co-existed with, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)}}) until his [[death of the Jagrafess|death]] in the year [[200,000]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Long Game (TV story)|The Long Game]]'') However, the Jagrafess himself had been installed by the [[Dalek]]s who continued their "long game" before [[Battle of the Game Station|invading]] Earth and subsequently being destroyed by the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf]] in [[200,100]].
