What kind of sci fi show would appeal to mainstream TV audiences who loved Game of Thrones?

Maybe a Horus Heresy prequel?

How about Starship Troopers: Tyranids?

For me i really like to see the war over certain territories. I'd love to see a new space war against a dominion or federation for a system to liberate people

Maybe a marquis one? Gritty and violent like GoT, less of the preachy Federation ethics while still having them the power in the background.

Well, if you count zombie apocalypse as a SF genre, The Walking Dead is probably as close as you're going to get.

Otherwise, I feel like The Expanse, Westworld, and Altered Carbon are attempts on this... gritty no holds barred type SF which feature the underbelly of humanity pretty clearly... and nude actresses on a regular basis. To be frank, GoT is as popular as it was because is became an alternate form of porn for many (if you can ever get your hands on the website traffic analytics during its run, you'll see porn websites dropped in traffic substantially when a new episode aired and picked back up afterward. The things you learn during a marketing career...), but then got engrossed in the story. So, quite frankly, it would need to be some sort of sex soaked borderline porn series to be as effective, which also limits the networks it can air on to HBO and its clones.

But other than requiring more square footage of skin shown on screen than square footage of actress wardrobe, it would probably need to be something gritty and dark, with a fair bit of political intrigue and plenty of violence. And a little person...

Warhammer 40k would be a difficult to establish the people to know the details of their relationship with the hierarchy of the imperuim. It would be difficult to allow the public to understand the politics of the ruler or the people. He is willing to allow the viewer to learn these things, If the ship goes in warp the dangers of going there. They have brought out a roleplaying game called the Warhammer 40k, the volumes of the game are able to allow the players to be marines, or inquisitors or traders.
