The Emperors are the two governing figures of the Galactyan Empire. As absolute monarchs, the hold all the power in the Empire, and each and every important decision must be approved by them to pass; the decisions and projects of lesser importance that can instead be took and started by Governors, Quadrant Representatives and members of the Council of Clades still have to be recorded and reported every month. While various aspects are overseen by both the Emperors, some are controlled exclusively by one of them: these aspects are agreed upon at the start of every new succession. As for the current Emperors, Nixhoeils controls Genetic Manipulation, Terraformation and Welfare, and Karheismas controls Colonization, the Military and Foreign Relations. It should however be noted that during the reign of the current Emperors, this role subdivision has become much less rigid and more formal, with the two often overseeing the aspects of their companion.

The current Imperial Couple is different from the preceding ones. In fact, both Emperors are entirely artificial, and were made in 1690 BBT after extensive testing of the then newly created Geviex (Genetic Vitality Extender). This makes the current Emperors much older than the other couples, who succeeded every 80 years due to the relatively short original natural lifespan of Galactyans.

The Imperial Couple resides in the Imperial Palace Complex on the Capital Planet of the Empire, Galactya, but they also have a secondary palace on the main worlds of each quadrant. The biggest Warship in the Empire, the Genesis Class "Glory Of Genesis" is also dedicated to them, and has been designated as their main travel vessel in case of a war with another star nation.
