Man this is tough. I see Ashes of a empire is currently ranked highest. Not my favourite preference as the "Empire" makes me think more in terms of history and not the future. How about:
  Asteral Ascendance?

Gee I'm not sure what would work. I do know that Spectral Empire was a major turn off, if I hadn't played your previous titles.

i just took the poll and listed the 'Empire of Ash and Steel' as my favorite. It is probably just me, but many of the suggestions have 'Last' and 'Federation' in them and those seem to me to have the biggest chance of being confused with TLF in general. So... maybe that is a good thing? I'm not sure, i have a tendency to think not. 'Empire of Ash and Steel' however is completely different, it has the 'Empire' in it, which i think reflects the struggle of the disparate parts all fighting for dominance.  :) And the 'Ash and Steel' which makes me think of a desolate and conflicted place that has been at war for maybe a long time?

Anyway, that is just my opinion, i like the different titles, but mostly this one, because instead of just a two word title, its now 5 words, like a Asimov science fiction title or something. :)  Just my opinion though.

p.s.  duh, i forgot to hit the submit button, haha, how crazy is that?

All of these are really good:

Ruined Empire
Age of Ruin
Empires In Exile
Diaspora Empire

I really like Empires In Exile in particular.

I like "Exiled Empires", it's a bit shorter.

You just need a Pangalactic Gargleblaster.

Dominion? I'm kinda not feeling "Empire." I feel like empires are everywhere.

A thin stream of consciousness:
Dominion's Edge
Dominion's Rest
Dominion's Crawl
Dominion Regions
Seditious Dominion
Disloyal Order
Strange Soil
Stellar Dominion (GENERIC AS HELL)

Comedy options:
Empires Everywhere!
Those Darn Empires
I'm So Tired of all these Star Empires
I was a Teenage Star Empire

I really like Strange Soil. That's a good one!
Those Darn Empires is also a pretty good fit, i guess ;)...

Throwing my vote behind Empire of Ash and Steel. Flows a little better than "Ashes of an Empire" and seems unique enough. Problem is that "steel" implies low tech, which is misleading.

Perhaps "Empires of Ash and Blood" or similar?

Alternatively:

Sanguine Empire/Imperium/Domain
Amaranthine  Empire/Imperium/Domain

I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.
