It's about time we/I went into detail on the planets/worlds of the Empire. This will not be a massive list of planets instead information on certain types and norms of all planets as well as governorship, tithes, and so on.

Firstly classification. Planets of the Empire are organized into many different classes and types. Almost all worlds are organized into these basic ranks:

Core World/Crown Worlds:

The heart of the Empire is made up of these worlds. They all generally have massive populations, a large industrial capacity of some sorts, and plenty of massive cities and spires dedicated to the nobility. These worlds are generally 'rich' with extravagant buildings and lots of wealth. They also tend to be some of the 'safest' worlds in the Empire due to large police forces, well ordered society, and plenty of secret police.

Inner Worlds:

Not as extravagant as the Core worlds but still rather populated and wealthy with a medium sized nobility existing. They are well ordered worlds, symbols of order and peace within the Empire.

Outer Worlds/Lesser Worlds:

Most of the Empire's worlds fall within this category. They are worlds with decent sized populations, a small nobility, and basic semblance of law and order although some sections of these worlds are rather dangerous or lawless.

Colonial Worlds:

Colonies of the Empire generally small and well managed within the colony itself but outside they tend to be lawless and full of Techno Barbarians.

Lawless Worlds:

Worlds where the Empire technically rules but has little to no real influence save the collection of tithes and that's about it.

Now all worlds within the Empire are required to obey certain tenets:

1. All worlds must pay mandatory tithes set down by the state in the form of resources, military formations, and laborers

2. All worlds must obey the tenets of the Rin law and most conform to Rin society

3. Unsanctioned gods can't not be allowed to be worshiped

Now the tithes a world pays varies between the worlds themselves. Although all worlds must pay a 'human' cost of workers/laborers to the state as well as any psychics and other 'special' births/breeds. Material tithes must also be paid normally in 10% of every thing produced, refined, or mined although this level can vary. Finally every world must provide cohorts of all sorts and variety for the Imperial war machine.

In exchange for the payment of tithes worlds are granted a more of autonomy in which they pretty much govern their own affairs. As long as they follow the tenets they are given and pay their tithes the times are good and generally 'peaceful' with the backing of a extra-galactic Empire backing their economy, flourishing their culture, and bringing law and order.

Each planet is ruled over by a individual known to the larger Empire as a 'Imperial Governor' although all sorts of titles are used across the Empire. Generally these governors come from native royal stock.

Now while each planet is allowed to run it's own affairs as to keep the native population happy the Empire believes in assimilation through two ways: Following of a common law code or group of religions and secondly by the settling of Rin within the planet and it's blood line to bring even greater conformity (Because of this process Rin hybrids are the largest population in the Empire)
