The government of the Galactic Empire in its current state harks backs to the days of Palpatine's regime. A complicated system of vying and overlapping authority, the government ensures the complete and total control of its Emperor. The Empire is a totalitarian regime that runs every aspect of its society, from the economy to the private lives of every Imperial citizen. Under Imperial law and the constitution, all sentients are considered Imperial citizens, although this has not stopped the Empire from widespread enslavement and prejudice towards non-humans.
