Planetary Administrator

The Government rank of Planetary Administrator is the highest rank in planetary governing systems. It is present throughout all Government worlds who had their ruling systems overhauled into a Government fashion, although the rank is also used by planets who kept their individual ruling systems, holding a more ceremonial title in such cases.

Powers and position
Planetary Administrator is the highest rank in the governing systems of individual planets. Similar to the office of the Trans-Galactic President, Planetary Administrators have the power to sign planetary bills into laws or veto them. They do not have the authority to declare war, as the power to declare small interstellar wars is in the hands of the Galactic Administrative Vanguards. Planetary officials can be fired by the Planetary Administrator, although only planetary federal judges can be appointed by an Administrator. They cannot commission the developments of new weapons or technology from the Trans-Galactic Military, but they can requests shipments of such technology, and holding the rank of Planetary Commander, have a degree of control over their Planetary Security Force, although the exact degree varies from planet to planet. Planetary Administrators are elected through planetary elections, and serve 4 year terms. If deemed unfit for duty of otherwise accused of crimes, Planetary Administrators can resign or be put under impeachments trials, which may result in their removal and imprisonment. In addition to their governing duties, Planetary Administrators do hold a few ceremonial roles, usually meant for Government-wide or planetary holidays. Although Administrators are usually not issued a militaristic uniform, most dress in a suit with some military gear, such as medals and epaulets.

History
The rank of Planetary Administrator was created during the Trans-Galactic War to manage worlds other than Earth. Like the rank of Trans-Galactic President, the powers and function of the Planetary Administrators were modeled after both the US state governors and the US president. A Planetary Administrator was appointed to handle the finer functions of Earth, and later New Earth, in addition to the Presidential authority.
