Jason Morgan, appointed as the sector governor by the Alliance, is not like a mere figurehead with no real power under the Empire's conventional system.
Under the Alliance's system, it is emphasized that each level of government should play its governmental role. Also, the planetary governor of the Alliance is not like the conventional imperial planetary governor who can fully manage the planet. The government and military of the Alliance are separated; the construction of the military is managed by the Military Affairs Department under Tadeusz's control, even the Planetary Defense Force — called the Pact Army by the Alliance — falls under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Department for construction and training on each planet.
