IMPERIAL GOVERNANCE

Strength decides. The Council records.

From the Great Hall in the First City, roughly two dozen representatives of the most powerful Great Houses govern under the Chancellor.

THE MANDATE

Protect the Empire. Hear every House. Decide anyway.

Official interpretation: The Council exists to protect the Klingon Empire and direct its affairs.

Operational interpretation: it ensures every Great House feels heard before the Chancellor does what was already decided.
