..:: High Council of Sector Lords ::..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The High Council of the Sector Lords is a rather flimsy coalition of the most powerful Sector Lords. They only cooperate when it suits them. Their numbers vary from time to time. New ones rise up, older ones get knocked off."
The High Council of Sector Lords is a unique and often rarely convened council, as many of the Sector Lords are either constantly bickering among themselves or focused upon expanding their power. When the Imperium is beset upon by an External Force or an Internal Threat, the High Council meets to unite their power for a singular focus. The Council has the power to grant the rank of Sector Lord, and can likewise (through a majority vote) banish a Sector Lord from their number.
Through the High Council, the Supreme Sector Lord holds the power to negotiate with enemies of the Imperium. These powers also extend to laws that affect the whole of the Imperium, often superseding local laws set by the Sector Lords (a power which is often unutilized as a means to pacify the Sector Lords and keep them happy).
