[x] Prefetus Tertius Rosalinda Orlov- Prefetus Tertius Orlov is one of Edvin's proteges, a skilled architect and someone able to overseen Administratum projects if needed.
 
[x] Commodore Melanie Olayinka- Commodore Olayinka is responsible for much of the construction of your orbital defences, and is someone who can oversee orbital projects.

Ok restating my reasons. We need to do a shipyard expansion, fix our defenses, build a space elevator, and eventually start building a super heaven fortress. Even with the increase cost shipyards do not cost too much to build. Also we will need to upgrade our ships.

While the others are nice and I may change depending on if any good arguments come up I think this is the best choice for a primarily administrative position.
Now let's hope this one lasts a bit longer huh.

Heaven will never be a thing. If we build it, someone too powerful for us to beat will come at us to steal it. It would be a very bad idea to attract that kind of attention to build a fortress that will be stolen.
 
Can we get them all?

Make a mini council?

No no oh well.

Hmmmmmmm I dunno which one I wannnnnt. Though if option came up I'd probably want a medical expert.

Hmmmm seems hard to steal.

Deus is one thing it has a warp engine, but Heaven would likely require one hell of a ritual.

Not sure what I'll end up voting for, but in terms of replacement titles for the position, how about something like Viceroy, Chancellor, or Chamberlain? If we want something that's quasi-High Gothic, we could go with some old Roman offices like Praetor. Alternatively we could go with something that's a bit plainer, like First Minister or something.

I have to disagree with you. Durin has said they are Viable because of the either drive. They are not fast enough for someone to steal. No warp engines. These things are bigger than the phalanx or any other ships so I doubt anyone not Eldar could design warp engines big enough for them.

Skilled Architect -> Cheaper Forge Hives, and just hives in general. Mechanicus actions are ALWAYS at a premium, and only someone who can do Administratum actions can take over Forge Hive expansions. But doing that generally comes at a higher cost, unless you've got a skilled architect with a trait to lower those costs. We've also got a new region that needs hives built.
 
[X] Lieutenant-General Nestani Rice- One of the best administrators in the Avernite Military, Lieutenant-General Rice would be able to oversee military projects and be of equal use at war as at peace.

Because of the amount of military tech we got that is also affordable currently.

On another note is the plan still to get advanced warp engines from the Eldar with our major favor?

I think we should take the spymaster.

We've never had any crisis from not rolling out military stuff fast enough.
We've never had any crisis from not rolling out forge hives fast enough.
We've never had any crisis from not rolling out navy stuff fast enough.
We've had a crisis from Tzeentchians eliminating almost the entirety of our Navy's highest ranks through subterfuge.

[X] Agent Pompeo Ralston- Agen tRalston is one of the Jane's best spymasters and will be able to assist you in developing an more effective spy network.

Going to stop you right there. The reality is that we are unlikely to even be able to begin making something like that for centuries and the only reason that that other human polities could is due to them having sectors worth of resources to call upon.

On e the technology we have acquired is completely implemented we will be able too. I am thinking in a century to two centuries from now. One of those thing can tank a fleet of ships and still keep going.

Another good argument is that our administration actions let us build up infrastructure which are extremely beneficial to most of our actions. Example being that having more infrastructure lets us make more weapons and vehicles to help in our wars while also giving us more materials to use on our ships. I'd say that the most important facet of of a polity is it's industry since it really doesn't matter as much if you have advanced tech if you can't meaningfully create it in signigifant numbers.
