IMO, the imperium as a whole would not change - for this, it is way to
large and diversified (11.000 worlds!).

But on a planetary level, changes could be radical.

Imagine a young, naive farm-boy joining the marines and leaving his
low-tech, low-gov colonial home world. After a few terms of service (and
maybe a few decades in cold sleep), he returns to an overcrowded, high
tech world ruled by a corporation. Or charismatic dictator. Or socialist
party. Or gangsters.

Could be the frame for a "walking tall" campaign.
