Emperoratrix sounds really clunky to me, -atrix is the feminine counterpart to -ator. Imperator, dominator, navigator, etc. I'm particularly fond of the overextension that is 'alligatrix' myself.
Fine fine, then Emperoress instead. It's what the actual English translation of The Incal uses
Why not 'Empress', I wonder? Nothing actually wrong with any of the options, just rings strangely to my ears.
