Ministry of War

The Ministry of War was an administrative body of the Galactic Empire that oversaw the Imperial Army and Navy. Its primary role was to carry out administrative functions. Those included securing the military budget, weapons procurement, personnel, and relations with the Imperial Government and the Cabinet and broad matters of military policy. The post of War Minister was very politically powerful, having authority over the entirety of the massive Imperial war machine. Despite being a cabinet member, the War Minister was answerable directly to the Emperor (the supreme commander-in-chief).
