The Nine Grand Ministries (A1-0)

The Nine Grand Ministries are the organizations that coordinate and administrate the entirety of the Galactyan Empire. Each Ministry is represented and directed by a Grand Minister, who has the task of carrying out the decisions taken by the higher governing bodies such as the the Emperors, the Council Of Clades and the Quadrant Assembly. Each Ministry, like in many other foreign nations, is assigned a specific aspect of the Empire's governance and administration, that it will have to overlook and coordinate. The Ministers can either be appointed by the Emperors, or be elected by the members of the Quadrant Assembly and the Council Of Clades in a supermajority vote. The nine Ministries are all located in large buildings arranged in a ring-like configuration around the Imperial Palace, in the homonymous complex located on the capital Galactya. Inside each of these structures is located a supercomputer terminal directly connected to the planet's BioProcessing IntraLythoSphere, as well as the rest of the Empire's holocummunicative and computational network. Here is a list of the 9 ministries, describing their role in the Empire, and what minister coordinates them.
