For the Imperial State to survive it is necessary for armies of laborers, entire planets dedicated to the goods production/requirement of the state, and a massive bureaucracy known to most simple as: The Administratum.

The State in a 'humanitarian' way provides many free services for it's people and as any decent minded individual would know: nothing is really free. This is a lesson the State has taken to heart, but instead of purchasing the grain, building materials, and other materials the State both takes tithes from it's worlds as 'payment' for the Empire's protection as well as owning the mineral rich and fertile worlds from which they get 100% of all goods produced on said worlds without having to worry about middle men.

These planets are known by many names, but their 'official' title are: Administratum Worlds. The population of these worlds are really just the workers who are made up of slaves, criminals, and cheap labor and then the 'overseers' who are well the overseers, imperial officials, and administrators of said world and it's businesses. Positions on these worlds are highly sought after by the lower and middle ranks of the State bureaucracy and often lead to small fights and lots of bribery when such a position opens.

The State is also expected to provide for it's officials and workers within it's ranks for this some worlds are required to hand over both tithes of material resources and plenty of luxury goods. The state also builds many fine villas, pent houses, and apartment blocks for it's workers (although the higher ups tend to purchase their own living spaces from their salary, private dealings, and bribes).

The state also has it's own transportation networks, private lanes, and their own special ports, docks, and stations from which their personal can travel quickly and without interruption between the Empire and not be stuck in the traffic of the common citizens. If this cannot be achieved in certain systems the State keeps as it's right to confiscate/take over any lane or station if it is deemed necessary for the State and it's goals this generally leads to back ups in the civilian system when ever this takes place, but hey the State takes priority.
