This is what the Galactic Empire's government looks like in my headcannon. The civilian aspects of the government are only vaguely described. The ministries of Security, Finance, Education, and Culture are mentioned in the lore. The lore also mentions a "ministry of propaganda" but Palpatine is way too cunning to have named a government body that, so I renamed it the Ministry of Information. I created a few other ministries to flesh the government out a little bit.
The Imperial Ruling Council is also described vaguely, so I structured it. The lore says it handles the day to day of running the government for Palpatine. It makes sense then that it would consist of the heads of various Imperial organs. The Imperial Galactic Bank is mentioned in the lore, but only briefly. I gave it a little description.
I didn't mention the Imperial Senate or the rank of Executor. The Imperial Senate was really more of a club than a part of government, and the Executor was independent of any government body and served as an extension of the Emperor's will. Silara Cortess and Eomin Praji are my OCs, the rest of the Imperial Ruling Council members are characters from the lore. Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars
