Grand Emperor of the Colonial Earth Empire
Established when the Republic was transformed into the Colonial Earth Empire, this title is the highest in the known galaxy. Commanding swathes of territory and tens of trillions of humans in the galaxy, the Emperor is the most powerful being in the entire galaxy. Or so the empire would like to say.
The title is awarded by the Imperial Senate, and is backed up by the support of the Intelligence Services and the High Lords of the military. The title has always been held by one of the Royal Houses of the Empire who have long used their wealth and influence to sway those to their cause to get them elected. It is a jockeying of an oligarchy, with wealthy elites playing against each other for more and more power over the galaxy. Emperors are technically appointed for life, however there have been several cases in the past where Emperors who have lost the favor of their powerful supporters to be have their lives end sooner than others.
A capable holder of this title knows not only how to gather allies to his cause, but also how to pit his enemies against each other, and ensuring that his followers do not gain enough influence to challenge the established hierarchies. Thus, the Royal Houses often groom successors out of their most talented members.
