Royal Court

The Royal Court represents the ruling aparatus of the Royal Hegemony. Not to be confused with the Royal Families - the titular rulers of a given location within Hegemony space - the Court represents the reigning interest of Hegemony polity. They are responsible for day to day affairs of each locale and its related interests and - when necessary - answer to the Upper Courts.
Interestingly enough, though the Royal Court answers to their individual planet's ruler, are (technically) all agents of the High Court where the 13 reigning Archdukes hold sway.
