That's a good point. From my translation of Act 1:

"Ordering the execution of a second Project Ma, the Senate appointed Seth Twiright as the head of the new project."

And they were the ones that signed off on the four candidates for the next project. All told, it seems they handle government projects. Makes me wonder what the point of their Queen is (unless she's just some honorary, well-respected figurehead like some Eastern Emperors were during some eras).
