The Ministry of State was a department of the government of the Anderman Empire concerned with the Empire's foreign policy and its dealings with other star nations.
In 1920 PD, Großadmiral von Rabenstrange expressed to the Ministry his opinion that the best course of action for dealing with possible Manticoran objections to the Empire's planned expansion into the Silesian Confederacy was to have the Ministry of State formally inform the Star Kingdom's government about the Empire's intentions, instead of increasing tensions between the two star nations.
