The idea of the Warrants comes from ''The Three Musketeers'' by Alexandre Dumas. In the book, the Cardinal Richelieu writes a note "It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this has done what he has done". The note is given to the Cardinal's trusted aide as a "Get out of jail free" note. It, of course, falls into the wrong hands.

An Imperial Warrant is an instrument of power issued at the highest levels of government.

Description (Specifications)

A warrant is a written or electronic document provided to trusted agents of the Imperium as a method of bypassing the bureaucracy. Typically, a warrant is provided by the Emperor to an individual who utilizes the power it provides to accomplish some mission. Missions may include establishment of colonies in areas requiring development, the assumption of military command in the midst of a crisis, and the unilateral establishment of new noble lines to administer provinces which have suffered from war or economic collapse.

History & Background (Dossier)

The enabling act for Imperial warrants is Imperial Edict 97. Imperial Edict 3097 allows archdukes to issue similar warrants of lesser scope. Other statutes allow dukes to issue their own warrants, though the scope of such warrants is limited to the dukes' respective areas of responsibility.
