Ottomans or Romans.
Romans were fantastic at administering a giant diverse empire and making it's non-Roman subjects into Latin speaking Romans.
The Ottomans also administered a giant diverse empire, but they rejected assimilation for autonomy.
Massive downside to the Ottoman system was these territories suffered economically from poor local planning, Egypt and Syria were the richest areas under the Romans/Byzantines and even the Arabs, but became complete shitholes under the Turks.
So I'd go with the Roman style, since the development of their territories was superb. Plus they have a lasting legacy in the Romance languages.

Personally I would base it off of the Achaemenid Persian model of letting local governments keep their customs, religion etc. intact as long as they paid taxes and showed up when they were needed. It's really the only effective way to ensure the loyalty of so many different peoples over such a vast area. Make them not want to revolt, give them a better deal than they had to begin with. Only those who really value the idea of complete freedom would resist and even then you can just give control of that planet to a turncoat and continue the system. It helps if there was a worse, more draconian empire that came before you that you can compare yourself favorably to. Satraps were also a pretty effective territorial governing body that could rule a system each potentially in this sci-fi universe.

Kek I did the same in stellaris.
I think an galactic ottoman empire would be xenophile militaristic and based on hierarchy right?

What about authoritarianism? Pretty sure the game also literally defaulted to naming my slave armies Janissaries.

Hell, what about spiritualism?

>if you had to design an interstellar state to conquer the world, in your experience, what should it be based of?

It would be a race of highly intelectual bipedal labradors in space

What do you mean I'm a furry?

The ottomans were never that religiously minded also yeah they should be authoritarian.
They would be authoritarian militaristic xenophile and they would have the warrior culture trait atleast.

Except the Persians were constantly putting down rebellions. There needs to be a degree of homogeneity otherwise you just have a bunch of people thinking they'll be better off if our culture/ideology/religion/whatever the fuck is in charge
