The Adeptus Administratum is the massive over arching machine that keeps the Empire running as smoothly as logistically possible. This galaxy spanning machine is made up of many thousands of cogs those being the billions of servants, clerks, scribes, overseers, and officials.

The Administratums work never ends as billions are always at work keeping managing the Empire at every level from the grain distribution, levy of taxes, assembly of fleets and armies, the list goes on for miles in either direction.

To be more efficient the Administratum is split into a series of departments or (Ministrata) which has a specific role. Each Ministrata is lead by a Individual given a title like, "Master of Logistics', 'Master of Health', and so on. departments can be further broken down into ordo's lead by a 'Grand Overseer' the main Ministratas are as follows:

Ministrata Medicina (Health and Wellness)

Ministrata Libertica (Record keeping)

Ministrata Regatica (Governing)

Ministrata Logistica (Logistics)

Ministrata Domestica (Domestic Affairs)

The Administratum also has departments specifically tailored for or work under other Adepts (This technically would make the Administratum 'higher' then the other Adepts). For example the Administration has a department that works under the Vigilistum which helps with record keeping (Ministrata Lex Libertica).

The Administratum is full of all kinds of people and things. Although billions of souls work for the Administratum they are not the bulk, oh no. Many trillions of machines help keep the system running tidy and many Artificia work as living super computers.

The Administratum also has it's hand in many other fields from commerce to the justice system. Their records are used to help keep track of piracy and theft and their detailed ships logs help quell smuggling. No room for moral or errors can be allowed (To an extent) the Administration is cold and calculated in everything to does.

Now lets look at the ranks within the Administratum.

Servant/subordinate - the hereditary servants/slaves who serve as engineers and well servants

Menial - the same as the Servants but are recruited from the civilian population

Adept - the basic administrator they do rather menial work and are split into many thousands of occupations some major ones being: Cipher (Messengers/communications), Scribe (Record maintaince/recording), Clerk (Record keeping), and Overseer (Manages groups of Menials or Servants)

Ordinate - A middle ranking Administrator manages groups of Adepts and Servitors

Curator - A higher ranking Administrator who runs a large group of Ordinates

Prefect - A lofty rank for a rather important Administrator (For example the head Scribe of a sector)

Master - Head of a department within the Administration

The Administratum is lead by the 'Grand Master Administrator' who's head quarters is the 'Palace of Eternal Administration'
