A sector lord, also called a sector governor, is an Imperial noble who serves as the governing Imperial Commander of an entire sector and/or sub-sector of Imperial space. Most sector lords are also the planetary governor of their sector's capital or most important world. The duties of a sector lord, who are usually formally addressed as "Lord Sector," or "Lord" and then the title of their governed sector or sub-sector such as "Lord Calixis," are similar to those of a planetary governor, but encompass multiple star systems or multiple sub-sectors.
Sector lords themselves come from a variety of backgrounds including the Imperial nobility of their region of space or even from the high-ranking prelates of the Ecclesiarchy such as a cardinal.
