The Goldenbaum Dynasty ruled over the Galactic Empire for 489 years, through the reigns of thirty-seven Kaisers, or emperors. When the Goldenbaum Dynasty fell in the 489th Imperial Year, it was succeeded by Reinhard von Lohengramm's Goldenlohen Dynasty.

The capital of the Goldenbaum Dynasty's government was Sanssouci Palace, on the planet Odin.

Under the Goldenbaum Dynasty, the social hierarchy of the Galactic Empire was rigidly divided between the nobility and peasantry. At the start of his empire, Rudolph von Goldenbaum screened the people for "genetic purity" with the Inferior Genes Exclusion Act. Those he found worthy, were admitted into the newly-formed aristocracy and would, through bloodright, serve as the ruling class of the Galactic Empire for nearly five centuries. The Empire under the Goldenbaum Dynasty was a harsh, totalitarian state. Purges, state executions, and general oppression was the order of the day. Civil rights and liberties simply did not exist, as the Kaiser--and, by extension, the nobility--were imbued with near-absolute power.
