"Use of a background out of Central Casting. Rather than invent a background and have to explain it, or risk re-inventing the wheel, let's just steal one. We'll set it in the Star Trek Universe, only we'll call it the Empire instead of the Federation."
I've seen this done very well. The original Mageworlds trilogy essentially steal the laws of physics and much of the ideas from Star Wars.
However it is very well written.
And only serves to hide the major plot twist in book 3.
