Hutt Royal Court

While the Hutt Empire is much more a dictatorship than an actual monarchy, it parades itself under the Imperial banner and thus has a complex system of aristocracy. The Imperial Household must issue titles of Count and above, with lesser titles issued by Marquis or Marchionesses. It is common these titles be purely decorative and holds no power. That being said, the nobility, broken into several ranks, runs the government.

Imperial Family (Emperor, Empress, Prince, Princess) - Controls the entirety of the Hutt Empire.

Duke/Duchess – Controls a region of space.

Marquis/Marchioness – Controls one to two systems.

Count/Countess – Controls a planet and dependent moons.

Viscount/Viscountess – Controls a region of a planet or the entirety of a moon.

Baron/Baroness – Controls one or two cities on a planet.

Sir/Dame – Holds no formal control, a purely honorary title. May assist in the maintenance of a city.

Although certain titles may seem similar to Mayors or Governors, elected officials overrule all planetary nobility, with no elected being able to take a more important role without a noble title. It is common for nobility to marry in an attempt to advance their status: it is impossible for a male to take a female’s position, but frequent for a female to take a male’s. Any species or gender may hold a rank, though Hutts are a frequent sight in honorary roles. The titles are earned by exceptional valor in combat, notable effort in politics, or a variety of other worthwhile tasks along with inheritance.

While nobility of any rank are still not permitted to have independent military forces, they may have more sway with the local Admirals who make nearby military decisions. Nobility is believed to be the closest that the Empire will allow to a full democratic system, as voting on critical issues and local leaders is enforced by the Imperial House. Exceptional cruelty or immoral activity by the nobility is monitored and punished by the Imperial Household.



The Imperial Family​

The "Imperial Family" is currently composed of only the Emperor, Tusa Ujalli Hai. He has not declared a mate (though he has multiple concubines), and all immediate family ties have been severed through death. It is rumored he has fathered multiple Huttlings, though evidence of their existence is murky at best. Instead, it is currently referred to as the "Imperial Household", encompassing his entourage.
