World War 3 - This time it's Imperial
Seriously though, a title is hard - Galaxy Wars makes me think of all the money I put through that machine in the arcades, but then again, I'm old...
How about making it an alternate history type deal, with the Germans winning World war 2, and then taking over the galaxy from there?
You would need much more eloquent wording for the crawl than this but....
Defeating the allies in WWII, in victory Germany conquered the rest of the world.
Still hungry for Empire, the early V2 program evolved into immense war machines, and from these spaceships they colonised and ruled the galaxy.
With an iron fist, they maintained a relative peace for Millennia.
During this time, resistance to the evil empire remained.
It is now a period of civil war.
French rebels, striking from a hidden base have won their first victory against the evil German Empire. etc.
You could keep most of the rest of the crawl as is from that point onwards - no need to put a specific date on it.
Obviously my wording is hideous and long winded, but if you could come up with a way to keep most of the crawl intact, yet totally change the feel, that could be cool.
As for a real title - I really can't think of anything - Space Nazis Must Die?
Perhaps just keep the German title?
