Changes

After the fall of Vandire, [[Sebastian Thor]] was elected (some would say forcefully) to Ecclesiarch. He initiated a series of reforms and created the Synod Ministra on Ophelia VII. It was to act as a secondary governing body far from Terra. It would disseminate the laws and actions of the Holy Synod on Terra but also provide a defence against other forces, or even a single Ecclesiarch, attempting to gain control of the Ministorum. Also, the Astra Ministra, administrators of the Ministorum functionaries aboard ships of the Imperium is based on Ophelia VII and makes up the Synod Ministra.{{Cite Marker EndFn|3b}}{{Fn|3c}}
