Senate High Council

As written in the Senate Handbook, version 3.02.

The High Council is the ruling body of the Imperial Senate. Members of the High Council are not permitted to represent planets, but may participate in Senate competitions according to their planet of origin. A High Councilor may not influence planetary voting, but may belong to a Party and debate to that end (albeit with minimal activity, as their High Council commitments should always take priority over the party). They may compete in Senate wide or Party competitions if they have not been tasked to moderate or run the competition.

HC-1 Chancellor of the Senate (CHS)

The Chancellor is the leader of the Imperial Senate, chosen by the Fleet Commander and Executive Officer. He appoints Senate leaders, and has the authority to approve or deny Senate legislation. It’s his responsibility to report weekly on the state of the Senate to the FC and XO, as well as releasing a “Senatorial Address” every month. The Chancellor acts as the chief administrator of the Senate Complex, which includes the Senate Hall, Forum, Floor, and University. All Senate-wide competitions must receive CHS approval and awards above the Emblem of the Senate [EoS] are strictly distributed by the Chancellor.

HC-2 Deputy Chancellor (DCH)

The Deputy Chancellor is the second-in-command of the Imperial Senate. His primary duty is to oversee Parties within the Imperial Senate; hence all party-based competitions require DCH approval. Additionally, ideas submitted for Senate-wide competitions (at the party-level) must go through the DCH before they’re forwarded to the Chancellor. The DCH also acts as the administrator of the Senate Floor, scheduling legislation drafts and bill proposals.

HC-3 Minister of Records (M:REC)

The Minister of Records is responsible for approving all medals below [EoS] and maintaining the Senate’s rosters, which includes transfers, updating personal information, and the Senate’s primary mailing list. He is to have a copy of not only the main Senate/Planet rosters, but the roster of every Party as well. The M:REC also approves all promotions below the rank of Exarch .

HC-4 Minister of Education (M:EDU)

The Minister of Education has the job of maintaining the Senate’s institution of learning, the Imperial University. He is in charge of appointing new Professors, approving new courses, tutoring new applicants, keeping the Core Exam up to date, and maintaining an accurate roster of graduates from all courses.

HC-5 Minister of Communication (M:COMM)

The Minister of Communication is responsible for maintaining the Senate’s main website and message board, ensuring that they are accurate and moderated properly.

HC-6 Minister of State (M:STA)

The Minister of State is responsible for the appointment of Senators to their respective planets. It is his duty to closely monitor planetary activities and the amount of activity contributed by each delegate. Additionally, he renders planetary scenarios/issues, competitions, and legislation. All information pertaining to representation and planets can be obtained from the Minister of State.

HC-7 Senator Prime (SPR)

The Senator Prime is the only elected position on the High Council. The duty of the SPR is to be the voice of the Senators to the High Council. It's his/her responsibility to maintain constant contact with all Senators, ensuring that any concerns they have are voiced to the entirety of the High Council. The SPR also filters all member-based proposals that pertain to Senate competitions and/or existing legislation, posting only what he feels is pertinent and necessary. The Senator Prime is something of a majority leader, and the position presents a very strategic vantage point for parties.
