Risen Empire

[Selrik Lorcas]

MOFFS
​

Within the authoritarian hierarchy of the Risen Empire, Moffs and Grand Moffs serve as the iron-willed stewards of Imperial authority, directly beneath the Empress or Emperor in both political and military command. These governors are not merely bureaucrats or administrators—they are commanders, strategists, and enforcers, entrusted with the survival and expansion of the Empire's holdings. Their authority is absolute within their assigned regions, and their loyalty to the Imperial Throne is enforced through doctrine, surveillance, and the ever-present threat of replacement.

MOFFS
A Moff in the Risen Empire is a regional governor placed in charge of a specific planetary system, sector, or key military region. Unlike in prior incarnations of the Empire, where Moffs were sometimes political appointments or chosen from aristocracy, the Risen Empire selects Moffs through a meritocratic militarist model—only those with proven service records, strategic acumen, and demonstrated ideological loyalty to the Empire's goals are elevated.

Each Moff serves dual roles:

• Civil Authority: Overseeing day-to-day operations, taxation, infrastructure, conscription, and population control within their domain.
• Military Command: Directing the deployment of naval and ground forces, organizing defenses, and executing offensive operations as directed by High Command.

Moffs are protected by elite Imperial Sentinels, and many command their own small fleets or battle groups. Their presence on a world signals both opportunity and oppression—those who obey flourish under Imperial order; those who resist are erased.

GRAND MOFFS
The rank of Grand Moff is reserved for only the most powerful and influential figures within the Empire. A Grand Moff is responsible for an entire oversector—a collection of multiple sectors unified under a single strategic objective. They act as regional warlords and high administrators, answerable only to the Empress/Emperor and the Council (of which they are usually a part).

Grand Moffs have access to:

• Multiple planetary garrisons and shipyards
• Authority to declare martial law unilaterally
• Intelligence assets and COMPNOR agents for rooting out subversion
• Experimental or classified military projects within their sectors

While there are few Grand Moffs at any one time, each is a force of nature within the political sphere of the Empire. Their loyalty is maintained through surveillance, power balancing, and competition; no Grand Moff rules without rivals.

Cultural and Political Role

Both Moffs and Grand Moffs are expected to maintain ideological purity in line with Risen Empire doctrine: the rejection of the Force as a corruptive influence, belief in human-led supremacy (though not open xenophobia), and the imposition of peace through strength. They often serve as public faces of Imperial policy, issuing propaganda, attending executions, and hosting military parades to reinforce loyalty.

Failure, disloyalty, or corruption is met with swift punishment—often death. In the Risen Empire, power is a duty, not a privilege, and those who wield it are expected to do so with calculated cruelty, unwavering discipline, and absolute devotion to the survival of the Empire.
