It's not expanding in any large sense, but often 'Crusades of Conquest' are called, like miniature Great Crusades. As has been said, they constantly lose and gain worlds, but I guess they are losing worlds at a higher rate than they gain. In an empire of over 1,000,000 worlds, 4 lost and 3 gained never usually has any great effect on the numbers, especially when some are not contacted for hundreds of years, only staying loyal due to the compulsion of the people, more than solid governance.
