Well we covered the lowest of the low (Slaves) in the Empire now for the Highest upon High! The High born

The High Born, Noble Born, Patricians, and many other names are the highest social class in all of the Empire. From their ranks come the Senatorial Families, the Navis Nobility, The Mercari Families, and many many others. They go by many different titles like lord, Prince, Count, and Baron.

The High Born rule over continents, worlds, and some over entire sectors as their personal fiefs (They being the governors) to be born as part of the High born is to be born into a life of privileged one in which everything you could desire is at your finger tips. Children of the noble families are taught and raised in the family business of nobility. This includes lessons in speech and good manners but also lesson in things like political intrigue and assassination.

The Nobles have been raised (In the past billion years or so) that they are the divine instruments of the Emperor and they govern in his place, a state of mind the Empire and the Emperor generally accepts. The lands under their rule become their own personal fiefs and they can pretty much do what they want as long as the tithes are payed.

The Nobles reside in many fine villas, castles, and spires dedicated to both themselves and their families wealth and prestige.

Throughout the Empire they're are many billions of High Born (They make up about 5% of the population) this large amount has lead to let's say extras... these extra unwanted children and spawn are handed over to the state and trained to become things like Generals, Admirals, and Administrators some are given over to the church and become Cardinals and such. Either way they eventually become spoiled little brats.
