The vast majority of the 14 Trillion citizens of the Imperium do not really have this culture, but instead have that of the homeworld upon which they exist. Most people never set foot off of the soil of the planet on which they were born, and so each homeworld tends to have it's own distinct culture. If you play one of those, one who has only recently left their homeworld (perhaps has only been through one term of service), you may want to make up a creative homeworld culture to represent what that world is like.

But there are a few who do leave the culture of their homeworld early enough to be inculcated in the somewhat generic interstellar culture of the imperium. And, of course, there are the nobility and wealthy who often live their entire lives in the interstellar culture. The Travellers, the characters that the players will run, will have military backgrounds that likely have had them in the interstellar culture since age 18. So any PC from the Imperium can have this culture, based on this fact alone.
