Novayan Military Administration

The Novayan Military Administration (NMA) is one of several quasi-independent subject states of the Galactic Imperium as well as a hereditary military dictatorship autonomous of Imperial central administration. Originally headed by an Imperial military governor under the Imperial Military Administration of Novaya, it acquired its autonomy after Emperor Palpatine intervened in the First Novayan Revolt, requesting Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin to refine the Tarkin Doctrine and granting autonomy and immunity from the Tarkin Doctrine to the Novayans.
The Novayan Military Administration is the home of the Novayans, a militaristic human society known for its pragmatism, conservatism, militarism and rather open-minded, progressive mindset. Unlike the rest of the Galactic Imperium, the Novayan Military Administration is known for its revolts and uprisings, which always end whenever Palpatine grants the Novayans their requests; said revolts and uprisings were in response to unacceptable elements in the Imperial government and society. Despite this, the Novayans were supporters of Emperor Palpatine (whom they called Palpy or Palps), who in turn sees them as one of his favorite subjects second only to Anakin Skywalker.
Because of their conservative and pragmatic yet open-minded and progressive mindsets, the NMA is involved in bitter feuds with several Imperial oversectors (especially those of the Grand Moffs), of which saw the Novayans as a "weak-willed, primitive society of humans"; the only oversector the Novayans rarely butt heads with is the Eriadu Oversector, then headed by Grand Moff Tarkin. While this brought ridicule from the Grand Moffs, it is through this mindset that allowed for the introduction of the Novayans' cultural, economic, political and technological assets (anime, video games, television series, manga, mixed economy, and a few others) to the Galactic Imperium.
