Adviser
Qualifications
Each Adviser must become a beacon or supercomputer of the subject they are to Advise the King in, thus the qualifications are excessively high as you are basically asked to be better than the King at something, when he is the strongest Rada. This is why Advisors themselves add suffixes to their titles, as they are Advisors of single fields, such as farming, military action, medical or other topics.
While no exact exams are necessary to become and Advisor, a screening process and proof of your intelligence and ability is required, which of course is nearly the same thing, you cannot advise the King and dictate species wide policy as a fool as you will be kicked out instantly.
Requirements
There are technically no requirements in becoming an Advisor, only that you have the best mind and body to apply the field you Advise and control the organizations to some degree which you Advise about. Thus, only knowing about military things is not enough, you must embody them as well. Likewise, you cannot advise farming unless you can actually apply that knowledge and farm in reality, and so forth.
Appointment
Only Khizra himself oversees the ascension of a Advisor as it is he who decides if you are capable enough, so the appointment occurs in a private interview and a testing period to see how well the ideas are taken and implemented. This is done without any fanfare or ritual, however if you get the job, there is a celebration for it, if you are not chosen there is no celebration nor information that you failed.
Duties
The Advisors are expected to Advise the King with Galactical policy concerning all of their territories and sphere's of influence in the galaxy, from how to deal with Rada citizens to dealing with non-rada citizens. However as many Advisors are also the leaders of select organizations from their fields, they are expected to also manage and rule over those in the meanwhile. They are also expected to deliver the King's will to those organizations, allowing the Rada Collective to act under one ruler and prevent from internal segregation.
Benefits
Status and power are respected in the Rada Collective even as their monetary system is highly regulated, earning more material wealth, political favour and better equipment to deal with the galaxy are afforded to those who earn the most merit, and Advisors being at the top of the totem pole surely gain it all.
Accoutrements & Equipment
Each Advisor is to wear golden robes with red lines over it, with any of their preferred outfits under them as they deal with their duties. Advisor Rada are also all psionic, so if a Rada rises to the position they are equipped with the correct equipment to make them capable.
Grounds for Removal/Dismissal
An Advisor may lose their rank if they lose the favor of the King, which is not excessively easy to do but it is possible, if the Rada Collective ever suffers majorly or the living conditions of the Rada or their other citizens worsens, it is taken as a slight and if it continues, as a direct undermining of the Collective itself, depending on each individual case of such failure, if truly unintentional then they are simply removed and someone more capable replaces them, however if intentional harm is found then a quick execution will be deployed.
It is also possible for an Advisor to step down if they feel their skills are no longer capable and that they are not the same Rada that the King saw potential in, since to say otherwise would indicate fault in Khizra which isn't a very kosher thing to say.
History
For over fifty years the Advisors have along with Khizra ruled the Collective loyally and with precision, they tend to stay away on their duties and not enter the Throne-room directly, which has thus far avoided them from being killed or be part of many galactic upheavals, such as assassin droids, demons, inter-dimensional foes and other things that have decided to attack Khizra or his capital castle.
Cultural Significance
Although it is unclear how other species in the galaxy view the Advisors, for the Rada they are very important people who just happen to pale when compared to the king. As they are the ones behind many of the decisions of minute Rada life and other things.
