The Chiss Cabinet
The Chiss Cabinet was the executive assembly of the 28 governors of the Chiss Ascendancy but as the Ascendancy grew the number of governors increased accordingly. Its primary function was to act as the executive counter to the parliament. The parliament job was to deal with daily issues while it was the job of the Chiss cabinet to deal with the more complicated issues leaving the Council of emisence to deal with the most important issues. While the Chiss Ascendancy body system might seem similar to the GA it is still different in many ways and is considered a Republican oligarchy, which means that those who had the right to elect themselves were members of the elite aristocratic families and most powerful families in the whole Ascendancy. Also even with the Chiss Cabinet being active it was still up to the Council of Emisence to distribute the issues they get every day on their office to both the Parliament and the cabinet. So the Council of Emisence was still considered to be the most powerful political system in the Ascendancy but once they decided to move an issue to either the parliament or the Cabinet they always stay out of the matter and leave it to the other political bodies. However; on some certain occasions the Council does interfere with the decisions of the parliament or Cabinet especially if they found it too unreasonable.
Of course the members of the Cabinet did hold influence within the Ascendancy and always have an amount of freedom to govern their own planets and make some small decisions for example raising taxes, building schools, and on some certain occasions lead the defense forces of their designated planets. Also it is a common thing among the governors to have a seat in both the cabinet and parliament to further their powers even more. It is also a common thing for them to hold hearing sessions and other different type of sessions when the Council requested from them to do so. The Chiss Cabinet is usually lead by a delegate who is elected from the governors and while the Cabinet has a certain delegate leading it, other governors still had the power to upheld sessions when they needed to as long as they got the approval of the Council.
During it is early times the Ascendancy only allowed members of aristocratic and powerful families to elect themselves, but well during Heliel reign it seems that things had changed making those brave soldiers who has gone beyond their duty and proved themselves as soldiers to elect themselves as well once they retire or on some certain occasions while they still have their military powers. Also it has been noticed that unlike before the Chiss ascendancy now allow alien governors to elect themselves as long as they were adopted into one of the many powerful families or had proven themselves to the Chiss Ascendancy.
Of course how the cabinet worked was obviously through voting, as the decision of the Cabinet was always decided through the majority of votes. of course it is a known fact that most of the heated arguments that usually took place within the cabinet were civilized since the Chiss always considered themselves to a civilized race and especially the proud aristocrats who are always taught a lot about etiquette and behavior since a young age. Also the governors act as diplomats during political negoiations with other factions so they are always expected to represent the Chiss in a good picture.
