Senatorum Imperialis

The Senatorum Imperialis is an Imperial governing body in the Imperium of Andarra comprised of some of the most powerful individuals in the Adeptus Terra. This body is responsible for keeping the Emperor from overstepping their jurisdiction whilst administrating the day-to-day decisions in the Imperium.

The Gothic Revolts solidified Karl Franz's stance that the Senatorum Imperialis was an existential threat to his reign. Thus, following the devastating civil war, the Emperor passed the Sanctum Imperialis Act, which reformed the Senatorum in its entirety, granting the Emperor greater powers over the processes of the Senatorum. However, most significantly was the abolishment of the Adepta from serving in the Senatorum, opting instead for the Royal Houses of Andarra to take a more active role in the decision-making of the Imperium.

Ever since Karl Franz's death, the Senatorum has been divided as the Emperor left behind no heirs.

Structure
The Senatorum Imperialis consists of some of the most powerful individuals of the Adeptus Terra as well as the fifteen royal houses of the Imperium. Only a select few individuals from the Adeptus Terra are permitted to interact with the processes of the Senatorum, which is as follows: After the Sanctum Imperialis Act was passed, the Imperial government saw a number of changes in the way it operates its bureaucratic functions. The leaders of the various adepta are given the ability to stay in office for as long as they want. However, in the event where the leader is unavailable to perform their duties, the consuls will elect a new person to assume the leader's office.
 * 1) The High Marshall of the Adeptus Administratum.
 * 2) The Centurion of the Praetorian Guard.
 * 3) The Fabricator-General of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
 * 4) The High Legate of the Astra Militarum.
 * 5) The High Inquisitor of the Imperial Inquisition.
 * 6) The Pontifex Maximus of the Church of the Mother.
 * 7) The Historian of the Imperium Libraricus.

Leadership
Formally, the actions of the Senatorum Imperialis are dictated by the ruling monarch of the Imperium. However, as the Imperium expanded, a new role had to be created in order to moderate the flow of the debate in the Senatorum. Thus, following the Gothic Revolts, Emperor Karl Franz introduced the Consuls—two individuals responsible for moderating the Senatorum. Currently, the positions are held by consul [name] and consul. They are to be referred to as Consuls when spoken directly and as the Honourable Consuls of the Senatorum Imperialis when referred in third-person.

Karlingian Party
Members that belong to this party believe that the seminal works of the late Emperor Karl Franz, and the beliefs that he posits in his 'Imperial truth', should be adapted into the imperial system. They tend to be more open on matters regarding Xenos and religion. They support the decentralisation of power held by the emperors as they believe that the role of the emperor is holding back the Imperium from reaching its true potential. Instead, they advocate for a governmental system not too dissimilar from the one practiced by the New Republic, where the people of the Imperium play an active role in the decision-making process of the politicians that represent their best interests.

Creed of Andarra Party
The members of the Creed believe in the divine wisdom of the Holy Mother and her Chosen Dynasty. However, what they believe as Her divine wisdom are the tenets found in the Imperial Creed, which calls for the culling of all Xeno and man's duty to worship Her divinity as she had sacrificed Her life for the Imperium. They support the man's righteous claims on the universe, but they also believe that power should
