The Government of the Empire is extremley complex, lacking the orderliness that most would expect given its ideological commitment to creating, maintaining and defending order. This is the result of three factors.

General Features
  
−
The first is the essential pragmatism of the regime despite its ideology. This means that, unless a policy objective has neccessitated it, the regime has not changed existing pre-existing institutions. Changes are made as necessary, often by grafting a new office or body on to the existing framework.

The second factor, related to the first, is that the size of the Galaxy overwhich the Empire exercises its power leads to considerable local variations in institutions. Whilst diversity is discouraged by the New Order it cannot be avoided when governing trillions of beings. Below the sector level , government becomes extremely complex.

The third factor is (or rather was) the Emperor. The Emperor's paranoia and instinct to politik led him to create situations in which authorities overlapped. This kept his subordinates distracted fighting one another. It also gave the Emperor the powerful role as arbirtator between officials in dispute.

The Chancellor of the Empire, to give the full title, is the principal minister in the Imperial Government. The Chancellor carried out many of the routine functions of government on behalf of the Emperor, who was largely disiniterested in mundane administrative matters. As a result the Chancellor normally chairs the Council of Ministers, Council of Governors and has broad powers of oversight and review for all government official including his fellow ministers.

The Executors were senior officials, civillian and military, executing personal commissions from the Emperor.

The Galactic Empire, formerly the Galactic Republic, was established 19 years BBY. It is a government spanning millions of star systems and is the largest within the known galaxy. Having such a large population to administrate, considerable resources have been focused on military assets thus the Imperial Military was established. With a massive population and an impressive military the Galactic Empire is one of the most powerful and influential bodies within the galaxy.

Imperial Military

The Imperial Navy

Possibly the most extensive and powerful force of the Imperial Military is that of it's Navy, also known more commonly as, the Imperial Fleet. A tremendous array of starships, from Death Stars to shuttles, are at the Imperial Fleet's disposal.

With so much firepower in it's arsenal the Imperial Fleet is both feared and respected. No other fleet in the known galaxy can boast they have the firepower to destroy an entire planet. With that in mind few oppose Imperial Rule, especially in the space lanes.

Imperial Factions

To face a mysterious threat from another galaxy, Darth Viscera packed up most of the Imperial fleet and went to the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. Behind him he left his Admirals, each in charge of separate regions of the Empire.

The Imperial Sovereignty

Telan Desaria was the leader of this group, centered on the planet Thyferra.

Carida

Serena Laran was left in charge of the protection of the Imperial academy on Carida. With her small fleet of ships, including her capital ship the ISD Kelvin, Serena kept the sector secure. However, when Telan Desaria came to visit with an offer she couldn't refuse, Serena Laran joined Carida with the Imperial Sovereignty.

The Imperial Remnant

Admiral Lebron

The Imperial Federacy

Khendon Sevon lead the Federacy, and built up an empire for himself that centered around the research and development of new technologies. Easily the most technologically advanced faction, the Federacy was content to keep inside its own borders for a long while.

The Balmorran Empire

Grand Admiral Taylor Millard was the military leader of the Balmorran Empire (centered around the planet Balmorra), even though he shied away from politics.

The political duties were run by Emperor Tyrel Kiterix who had machinations of taking over both military and political avenues.

A civil war raged between the two with Millard's faction winning. The Balmorran Empire then began overtures with the Hapan Consortium and withdrew into quiet.
