    All powerful empire that tells everyone else what to do - or else - evokes the US to everyone that’s not in the US.

      I agree, but those aren’t aesthetic qualities. Those are material relations.

      You could make a case for their space ships evoking the appearance of a carrier group, which is emblematic of US empire.

      If you want average people in America to draw the connection, it’s more effective to make the aesthetics obvious.
