	The '''High Lords of Terra''' (aka “Asthmatic Assholes”) are the twelve members of the '''Senatorum Imperialis''', the Council of the High Lords of Terra, and the rulers of the [[Imperium of Man]] in the [[Emperor\|Emperor's]] absence.		The '''High Lords of Terra''' (aka “Asthmatic Assholes”) are the twelve members of the '''Senatorum Imperialis''', the Council of the High Lords of Terra, and the rulers of the [[Imperium of Man]] in the [[Emperor\|Emperor's]] absence. Although, the High Lords and Senate are also spoken of as separate things, with the latter being a bunch of important whoevers. Maybe it’s like how Imperium refers to more than just the civilization.

	** According to Lev Tieron, the post of Grandmaster is frequently behind the periods of unrest within the High Lords - Drakan Vangorich was merely the best known. That said, the incumbent, '''Fadix''', who despite being sceptical of Guilliman's ability to prevail, is almost single-handedly responsible for saving Terra from the aforementioned coup attempt - he goaded the seditious High Lords into showing their hands by offering them the assurance that the ultimate sanction was on their side, thereby causing the unrest and rebellion so that it could be flushed out once and for all (the Custodes were a mix of busy elsewhere and too busy laughing their asses off at the sheer idiocy of the plot before them). Fadix's personal inclination to the Static Tendency aside, he clearly takes his role seriously, so when the coup came around, [[Awesome\|his belief in the law and his allegiance to the Master of Mankind superseded all else]], thus he still holds the post. As of M41/M42, the Grand Master is considered tied with the Fabricator-General and the Ecclesiarch for third most powerful High Lord.		** According to Lev Tieron, the post of Grandmaster is frequently behind the periods of unrest within the High Lords - Drakan Vangorich was merely the best known.

As of M41/M42, the Grand Master is considered tied with the Fabricator-General and the Ecclesiarch for third most powerful High Lord.
	*'''Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica:''' The guy/gal in charge of the selection, training, and use of [[Astropath]]s and other various kinds of sanctioned [[psyker\|psykers]] within the Imperium. Making sure the Imperium's giant network of psychic email servers don't go to shit is so damn important to keep it running that they gave them a permanent seat. It was seated by Zlatad Aph Kerapliades during the [[13th Black Crusade]].		*'''Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica:''' The guy/gal in charge of the selection, training, and use of [[Astropath]]s and other various kinds of sanctioned [[psyker\|psykers]] within the Imperium.

It was seated by Zlatad Aph Kerapliades during the [[13th Black Crusade]].
	*'''Master of the Administratum:''' The head of the Imperial bureaucracy. While the Master of the [[Administratum]] is an equal with the rest of the High Lords on paper, in practice he/she is considered the "head" of the Senatorum and most powerful of the High Lords due to how integral the Administratum is to the functioning of all the other organizations and the Imperium itself, and they are fucking territorial about that. With the Emperor appointing [[Roboute Guilliman\|his son]] Imperial Regent, the Master of the Administratum is now the ''second'' most powerful High Lord, with the Fabricator-General, Ecclesiarch and Grand Master of Assassins now fighting for ''third'' most powerful. Irthu Haemotalion was very upset about this after being fired and actually attempted a coup on Guilliman only to get killed to death by Fadix along with his fellow traitors/conspirators (he was also shot by a Vindicare). He was replaced by '''Violeta Roskavler''', who has a reputation of being a hard working logistical genius. And just like Guilliman's [[Rogal Dorn\|brother]], she hails from [[Inwit]]. It's eventually revealed that she, Valoris, and Guilliman knew Haemotalion would try a coup attempt like this and planned to use it as an excuse to cleanse the capital of any further political liabilities (so Haemotalion turned out to be pretty useful in a backhanded way).		*'''Master of the Administratum:''' The head of the Imperial bureaucracy.

Roskavler was previously the Master of the Departmento Munitorum so she is certainly on the more militarist wing of the political establishment.
	*'''Master of the Astronomican:''' While the Adeptus Astronomica isn't nearly as large or influential as the other members' branches, they keep the light of the [[Astronomican]] burning. The Astronomican in turn keeps the Imperium from collapsing, and every other High Lord from being fucked inside out by [[daemon]]s on their way to meetings, so they let this guy have a chair along with his pal/rival from the Adeptus Astra Telepathica. Because the Adeptus Astra Telepathica serves as the Astronomican's recruitment arm, having these two members disagree on policy is uncommon, but they ''are'' legally independent bodies (each of equal rank with the Administratum), so it's certainly possible. The previous one died during the Chaos (of both capital C and regular c varieties) of the Long Night and Guilliman used the opportunity to stack the High Lords with competent loyalists further after Fadix's purge of the morons who tried to rebel against a fucking Primarch already emptied several slots (along with some firings that lead to said coup attempt in the first place). Now chaired by '''Lucius Throde''' who prior served under the High Lord Kerapliades as part of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica.		*'''Master of the Astronomican:''' While the Adeptus Astronomica isn't nearly as large or influential as the other members' branches, they keep the light of the [[Astronomican]] burning.

	*'''Paternoval Envoy:''' Representing the [[Navis Nobilite]], the third of the guys to get a seat because otherwise the Imperium would collapse without faster than light travel and communications. This guy/gal makes sure that the Navigators have a say in what's going on, so they won't get declared abominations of the holy human form. Unlike the other posts, s/he is not the head of the combined Navigator houses, but a representative from the Paternova, the currently effective head house of the Navis Nobilite. The Paternova cannot attend meetings because s/he stays in the Palace of the Navigators due to...[[Mutant\|changes]] they undergo upon assuming the post, which would cause <s>mass rioting among the populace</s> questions among the less-informed. As a result, the Paternoval Envoy is a young, still fully-human looking [[Navigator]] (except for the third eye, of course) and usually chosen from a weak house who couldn't upset the balance of power among the Navigators should the position go to his head (the fact they can be quickly and quietly [[blam\|removed]] if they fuck up is wholly incidental.) Theoretically, the Paternova's rank equals that of the other two people who run the Imperial Fleet (both of whom sometimes also get seats - see below), but they are just too practically important and significant for anyone to really claim they outrank them. '''Kadak Mir''' serves as the current envoy by order of Guilliman, replacing Uila Lamma. It is suspected Lamma was removed for advocating for too much reform to the Imperium's laws, which went against Guilliman's more cautious measures.		*'''Paternoval Envoy:''' Representing the [[Navis Nobilite]], the third of the guys to get a seat because otherwise the Imperium would collapse without faster than light travel and communications.

	**'''Chancellor of the Estate Imperium:''' The Imperium's head paper pusher. Seriously, they're a glorified secretary. The most useless of the High Lords, and only gets on if the Master of the Administratum feels he needs another vote on things and can muscle one of their underlings in. (Given the name, they probably oversee the treasury of the Imperium as a whole and possibly the tithes.) The previous holder of the office was Brach, who died in 999.M41 before the reforms of Guilliman.		**'''Chancellor of the Estate Imperium:''' The Imperium's head paper pusher.

	***'''Lord Commander of the Segmentum Solar:''' A direct underling of the Lord-Commander Militant that often only gets a seat whenever the military situation goes from "'''shitty'''" to "'''completely FUBAR'''" and there's a need for some crusade or other to set things a little less wrong in the Imperium. They're the commander of the Imperium's forces (those that listen to the military bureaucracy anyway) in charge of guarding humanity's [[Segmentum\|chewy centre, Segmentum Solar]].

Unlike their counterpart, though, they aren't dependent on the Chancellor for money, but they ''are'' dependent on the Navigator houses and the Astronomican for navigation and on the Adeptus Astra Telepathica for communications. As a result, they don't have as much wriggling room as one might think either, but the same thing about military necessity also applies here.

	**'''Speaker for the Chartist Captains:''' Spokesperson of the Merchant Fleet, this High Lord defends the interests of the various trade captains within the Imperium. They are similar to but less powerful than [[Rogue Traders]], but make up about 90% of the Imperium's spacefaring capability. They might not look like much at first glance, but along with the various [[Psyker]]s above they're the glue keeping the Imperium together by making interplanetary commerce possible at all (which is a matter of survival for many, many planets), so they too get a voice in running things when there's a seat free (read: in those times of relative calm when the military situation is galactically stable, so the decades of this seat being free can probably be counted on one's hands). There are four levels of Merchant Charters, from flying fixed and limited routes to being allowed to travel through all of Imperial space within the Segmenta. '''Kania Dhanda''' is the current Speaker, and she works to rebuild the Imperium's shattered trade routes from the Great Rift at the Nexus Axiomatic fortress after being retired from the High Lords by Guilliman.		**'''Speaker for the Chartist Captains:''' Spokesperson of the Merchant Fleet, this High Lord defends the interests of the various trade captains within the Imperium.

	**'''Abbess Sanctorum of the Adepta Sororitas:''' The head of the [[Adepta Sororitas]]. The only member of the High Lords who is a woman by default, she is elected from the leaders of every order of the Sororitas. Like the Inquisitorial Representative, there is no real race for this position.

	*'''Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Navy:''' Discards the shiniest of flying space cathedrals in favour of the shiniest of desks.

As a result, they don't have as much wriggling room as one might think either, but the same thing about military necessity also applies here. The previous holder of the post, Merelda Pereth, was among the failed Hexarchy plotters and was killed by a Callidus Assassin. In the Battlefleet Gothic Armada II continuity, her successor Drang didn't last long either before getting {{BLAM\|'''BLAM!*'''}}-med after being found working for the [[Alpha Legion]], and Admiral Spire (the guy Drang tried to kill with various suicide missions and one of the few people whose faith rivals the [[Ecclesiarchy]] without becoming a blind zealot) becomes his successor. But it is unknown up to which point the story is canon (early parts of the game are canon, merely depicting the Fall of Cadia, but latter parts are not as they end with Abaddon's death).		**'''Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Navy:''' Discards the shiniest of flying space cathedrals in favour of the shiniest of desks.

	** According to Lev Tieron, the post of Grandmaster is frequently behind the periods of unrest within the High Lords - Drakan Vangorich was merely the best known. That said, the incumbent, '''Fadix''', who despite being sceptical of Guilliman's ability to prevail, is almost single-handedly responsible for saving Terra from the aforementioned coup attempt - he goaded the seditious High Lords into showing their hands by offering them the assurance that the ultimate sanction was on their side, thereby causing the unrest and rebellion so that it could be flushed out once and for all (the Custodes were a mix of busy elsewhere and too busy laughing their asses off at the sheer idiocy of the plot before them). Fadix's personal inclination to the Static Tendency aside, he clearly takes his role seriously, so when the coup came around, [[Awesome\|his belief in the law and his allegiance to the Master of Mankind superseded all else]], thus he still holds the post. As of M41/M42, the Grand Master is considered tied with the Fabricator-General and the Ecclesiarch for third most powerful High Lord.		** According to Lev Tieron, the post of Grandmaster is frequently behind the periods of unrest within the High Lords - Drakan Vangorich was merely the best known.

Making sure the Imperium's giant network of psychic email servers don't go to shit is so damn important to keep it running that they gave them a permanent seat. It was seated by Zlatad Aph Kerapliades during the [[13th Black Crusade]].		*'''Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica:''' The guy/gal in charge of the selection, training, and use of [[Astropath]]s and other various kinds of sanctioned [[psyker\|psykers]] within the Imperium.

	*'''Master of the Administratum:''' The head of the Imperial bureaucracy. While the Master of the [[Administratum]] is an equal with the rest of the High Lords on paper, in practice he/she is considered the "head" of the Senatorum and most powerful of the High Lords due to how integral the Administratum is to the functioning of all the other organizations and the Imperium itself, and they are fucking territorial about that. With the Emperor appointing [[Roboute Guilliman\|his son]] Imperial Regent, the Master of the Administratum is now the ''second'' most powerful High Lord, with the Fabricator-General, Ecclesiarch and Grand Master of Assassins now fighting for ''third'' most powerful. Irthu Haemotalion was very upset about this after being fired and actually attempted a coup on Guilliman only to get killed to death by Fadix along with his fellow traitors/conspirators (he was also shot by a Vindicare). He was replaced by '''Violeta Roskavler''', who has a reputation of being a hard working logistical genius. And just like Guilliman's [[Rogal Dorn\|brother]], she hails from [[Inwit]]. It's eventually revealed that she, Valoris, and Guilliman knew Haemotalion would try a coup attempt like this and planned to use it as an excuse to cleanse the capital of any further political liabilities (so Haemotalion turned out to be pretty useful in a backhanded way).		*'''Master of the Administratum:''' The head of the Imperial bureaucracy.

Roskavler was previously the Master of the Departmento Munitorum so she is certainly on the more militarist wing of the political establishment.
	*'''Master of the Astronomican:''' While the Adeptus Astronomica isn't nearly as large or influential as the other members' branches, they keep the light of the [[Astronomican]] burning. The Astronomican in turn keeps the Imperium from collapsing, and every other High Lord from being fucked inside out by [[daemon]]s on their way to meetings, so they let this guy have a chair along with his pal/rival from the Adeptus Astra Telepathica. Because the Adeptus Astra Telepathica serves as the Astronomican's recruitment arm, having these two members disagree on policy is uncommon, but they ''are'' legally independent bodies (each of equal rank with the Administratum), so it's certainly possible. The previous one died during the Chaos (of both capital C and regular c varieties) of the Long Night and Guilliman used the opportunity to stack the High Lords with competent loyalists further after Fadix's purge of the morons who tried to rebel against a fucking Primarch already emptied several slots (along with some firings that lead to said coup attempt in the first place). Now chaired by '''Lucius Throde''' who prior served under the High Lord Kerapliades as part of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica.		*'''Master of the Astronomican:''' While the Adeptus Astronomica isn't nearly as large or influential as the other members' branches, they keep the light of the [[Astronomican]] burning.

	*'''Paternoval Envoy:''' Representing the [[Navis Nobilite]], the third of the guys to get a seat because otherwise the Imperium would collapse without faster than light travel and communications.

Unlike the other posts, s/he is not the head of the combined Navigator houses, but a representative from the Paternova, the currently effective head house of the Navis Nobilite. The Paternova cannot attend meetings because s/he stays in the Palace of the Navigators due to...[[Mutant\|changes]] they undergo upon assuming the post, which would cause <s>mass rioting among the populace</s> questions among the less-informed. As a result, the Paternoval Envoy is a young, still fully-human looking [[Navigator]] (except for the third eye, of course) and usually chosen from a weak house who couldn't upset the balance of power among the Navigators should the position go to his head (the fact they can be quickly and quietly [[blam\|removed]] if they fuck up is wholly incidental.) Theoretically, the Paternova's rank equals that of the other two people who run the Imperial Fleet (both of whom sometimes also get seats - see below), but they are just too practically important and significant for anyone to really claim they outrank them. '''Kadak Mir''' serves as the current envoy by order of Guilliman, replacing Uila Lamma. It is suspected Lamma was removed for advocating for too much reform to the Imperium's laws, which went against Guilliman's more cautious measures.		*'''Paternoval Envoy:''' Representing the [[Navis Nobilite]], the third of the guys to get a seat because otherwise the Imperium would collapse without faster than light travel and communications.
