Satrap

Within the Hectariat, a Satrap was a member of the Holy Bureaucracy of the highest order. The Satraps worked under the guise of executive, judicial, legislative, and religous ministers, working in the name of His Imperial Holiness, the ruler of the Hectariat. With the power of His Holiness, the Satraps ruled with absolute, unquestioned authority.

In reality, there was no Holiness. It was a construct used by the Satraps to unify the people. They were the ultimate within the Hectariat. They enforced their will through the use of the Ordinator, a living superweapon engineered by the scientists of the Holy Bureaucracy.

The exact number of the Satraps is disputed. The greatest number ever seen in public together was 17, but the true number could have been much higher.
