The very corner stone of the entire Empire are the Imperial Governors. Each Governor rules over a planet or star system in the name of the Emperor. They can be anything from hereditary leaders or elected officials but no matter the political system of the world one individual will be in charge.

Governors are both the economic and military head (Governors are considered Imperial Commanders in the military hierarchy) of the sector in which they rule. Governors are given direct control over the administration of the sector in which they rule and are for the most part allowed to rule as they please (As long as tithes of men and resources are paid of course) this has lead to a slight degree of corruption within the Empire (Although it is considered manage corruption)

Different worlds have different types of Governors (As some worlds are owned by certain Adepta or organizations) the major types of Governors are as follows:

Forge-Master - Forge worlds

Governing Cardinal - Shrine worlds

Merchant Lord - Craft worlds

Legionary Regent - Legion worlds

Supreme Prefect - Administratum worlds

Thronus Prefect - Thronus worlds (Worlds owned by the Emperor directly)

Governors are trained by the Administratum within the many Schola throughout the Empire. This training is mandatory as a Governor must be adept in both financial, civil, and military matters to run their sector effectively.

Governors as stated before run the sector as they see fit making it in a way their own personal fief this has lead to corruption in many different forms. The corruption for the most part is managed by the Vigilistum and the Administratum but for more serious matters the Inquisition will intervene.

Governs are considered under the Senate and High lords and on par with the Adepta which means they hold major political power. In many sectors Governors are hereditary rulers this system has lead to the growth of a substantial noble class in the Rin Empire as the Governors family and friends will be promoted to rather lofty and affluent positions.

To manage this each Governor is required to have a Intercessor and Questor (Elected official) within their court. The State will also have many agents within their administration to keep tabs on the governor.
