In order not to let the routine administration take over the empire, the emperors ensured that all important matters were decided in the "Imperial Court", which was dominated by the imperial family and important politicians and military personnel. The central institution of the internal court was the Grande Council of Moffs. It emerged shortly after the founding of the empire as an organ in charge of dealing with military campaigns, but soon assumed other military and administrative duties and served to centralize the power of the imperial crown.

For an annexed territory to become an Imperial province, it was necessary to carry out an inventory of the star systems of a population census and a topographic survey. The administration then kept several records, including births and deaths, property transactions and legal procedures. The provinces were administered by governors, elections are held by the people.

### The Provinces

The provinces were subdivisions of the imperial territory, created after the first major expansion. They were instituted after the transformation of the sectors into provinces, by the Imperial Court. The territorial Constitution 722 created the Provincial General Council the legislator of the provinces, which replaced the defunct Council of Prosecutors of the imperial sectors. This council consisted of 100 elected members, depending on the size of the province's population and the number of star systems. All "resolutions" (laws) created by the councils needed the Emperor's approval. Provincial Councils also lacked the authority to increase revenues and their budgets were debated and ratified by the Imperial Senate of Capitol.

The development of international trade based on the export of various resources was due to external and internal factors. Among the external factors, the growth in international demand for certain specific resources stands out, as a result of the increase in the standard of living of the population, which stimulated the increase in consumption levels, the industrialization of several planets, and technical improvement, which benefited international trade.

Internally, what most favored economic growth was the solution to the problem of slavery and the expansion of commercial networks in various sectors of the empire, which reduced the cost of transportation for the owners of the new commercial zones. In addition, the development of the commercial network was part of one of the greatest consequences of the empire's economic growth, which was the diversification of economic activities. Diversification, in turn, stimulated the urbanization of newly colonized planets, since all commercial activity, the first induced by the expansion of Delterium fuel production, was concentrated in colonies in gas giants.

In ancient times, during the early years of the Empire, the Imperial Navy was not an extremely threatening force as its ships were dedicated to the defense of imperial space and strategic warp routes. This was opposed to the fleets of warships assigned to the Legion Dominus of the imperial navy. All men, when they reached the age of 20, were recruited for a mandatory 2-year military service. They started out as a second-class astronaut with the rank of recruit.
