* ''Franchise/StarWars'': The trope is invoked in the movies, with the Decline and Fall of the Republic, Interregnum of the Galactic Empire, and with the Empire's end the Formation of the New Republic, albeit taking place ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway. Although, in the [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]], this doesn't pan out so well [[spoiler: The New Republic ends up collapsing, and although a better government forms, internal problems still show up.]] It doesn't pan out so well in the new sequels (that have officially relegated the Expanded Universe to non-canon status), where the New Republic is still struggling, with the First Order (TheRemnant of TheEmpire) [[spoiler:obliterating an entire star system and destroying the Republic Senate]]) determined to restore the old Empire.

* ''[[VideoGame/EscapeVelocity EV Nova's]]'' [[http://www.ambrosiasw.com/assets/files/graphics_products/evn/preambles/nova_preamble_1.pdf official timeline]] only goes back as far as stage 3. The Colonial Council colonized much of the galaxy. Then it began to crumble due to a string of wars. The deathblow was the Armetis terrorists' destruction of the Sol [[WarpWhistle hypergate]], which caused many of the others to be destroyed, cutting the member systems off from each other. The Renaissance began when physicists rediscovered how to build hyperdrives, allowing humanity to reform interstellar governments. Things have since solidified into a fairly StandardSciFiSetting. [[spoiler:Most of the endings report that humanity reaches stage seven several thousand years after the end of the game and AscendsToAHigherPlaneOfExistence.]]
