Select Comittee

The Select Committee is the body that administers COMPNOR; a group comprised of appointed individuals and COMPNOR department heads representing the pinnacle of the civilian government agencies and bureaus within the massive machinery of the Empire's central government. Chaired by the Grand Vizier, the Select Committee seeks to maintain stability, develop initiatives to improve and further the New Order, and support the other branches of the Galactic Empire in achieving the wishes of the Emperor. Members of the Select Committee are chosen from the most loyal high ranking officers within COMPNOR, and a position is reserved for former Emperors in good standing.

The Grand Vizier

Nominally the head of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order and Chairman of the Select Committee, the Grand Vizier is the administrative Head of Government for the Galactic Empire and as such is directly responsible for the civilian branches of the Empire, overseeing the administration of all support services, internal infrastructures, and similar matters. The Grand Vizier always stands as the third in command of the Empire, directly after the designated principle Executor; however, this does not determine succession, nor does it allow the Grand Vizier to exercise their authority over other members of the Inner Circle outside of COMPNOR's remit.

The Ministers

Overseeing a portfolio of government interests as assigned by the Grand Vizier, the Ministers traditionally form the bulk of the Select Committee, and are each responsible for a specific sub-set of COMPNOR in form of their Ministries. At current, COMPNOR has three Ministries with distinct portfolios; Interior, Culture, and Industry.

The Former Emperors

Having once lead the vast territories of the Empire, and championed the ideals fo the New Order as the sovereign, former Emperors in good standing are always given membership to the Select Committee if their circumstances allow. Sought out for their vast sums of experience, discerning viewpoints, and political might, the former Emperors provide significant organisational memory and capability to the Select Committee through the provision of advice and counsel.
