Imperial Ruling Council

The Imperial Ruling Council was the main executive and de facto legislative body of the Galactic Empire. The chief ruling body of the Council was the Imperial Inner Circle, comprised of the Empire's most influential and powerful men, notably the Galactic Emperor's closest Advisors.

The Ruling Council was responsible for the every day management of the Imperial government; the Ruling Council created the agenda and passed it on their various subordinates, including the Imperial Moffs. The Council was led by the Grand Vizier, the head of government. The Grand Vizier was the de jure second-in-command of the Empire, directly beneath the Emperor. However, the Grand Vizier was overshadowed by the Military Executor and the Emperor's Dark Side Adepts.

The Council itself resided in the Imperial chain of command directly beneath the Imperial Commander-in-Chief (the Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces and the Military Executor) and the Commander-in-Chief's subordinate council, the Imperial High Command). It did, however, hold authority over the Moff's council, COMPNOR and lesser divisions of Imperial High Command - and thus, the military and Imperial Intelligence.

Although the was responsible for legislation officially, it was the Ruling Council that truly held this power. Operating at the Emperor's wishes, the Ruling Council set forth all the Empire's laws and policies, including the } agenda.

After 's death at the, and the subsequent fragmentation of the Empire, the Ruling Council officially dissolved into the Interim Ruling Council. It would lead the remnants of the Empire from other worlds after the fall of.
