Galactic Ecclesiarchy

In this Realm, the people of earth never secularized their culture. The Holy Roman Empire did not die, and during the European age of exploration ended becoming the founding parent for the North and South American countries. Eventually, through both military and cultural actions, the whole world became thoroughly Catholic. 
When the people of this earth started moving out into space, and even after developing their first FTL drives (faster-than-light), they brought with them their strict, high-church society and rigid hierarchy. 
In this Realm, much of the Milky Way Galaxy exists as a hybrid of futuristic and medieval-gothic features. Planets are looked over by regional Cardinals and the Pontifex Maximus on earth reigns supreme as the head of the Church (capital 'C').
