The Ministry of the Court is a department within the government of the Draconis Combine.

The Ministry of the Servants of the Draconis Combine: The Ministry of the Court or Kazoku handles a variety of different functions, most associated with the nobility and court functions. For example, the Watchers of the Household run the Imperial Palace on Luthien while the Committee of Special Events plans all court ceremonies, including the presenting of military honors, the Cleansing of the Spirit ceremony and the Celebration of the Coordinator's Birthday. The major divisions of the Ministry of the Court are:

• the Bureau of Hospitality Toward New Lands, which assigns governors to newly-liberated planets
• the Committee of Planetary Unity.
• the Keeper of the House Honor (the most powerful section of the Ministry of the Court), also called Order of the Five Pillars, which is not governed by anyone other than the Keeper of the Family Honor but is technically part of the ministry so that it may call upon the services of the government through official channels.
• the Watchers of the Household (who run the Royal Palace)
• the Interior Staff of the Coordinator (the Coordinator's cooks and physicians)
• the Committee of Special Events, who plan for court ceremonies.
