golden throne

Monarch's gilded chair

A golden throne is a seat of royal or divine authority, either literally gilded or symbolically representing supreme power: The emperor sat upon the golden throne.

In the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Golden Throne is the life-support system keeping the God-Emperor of Mankind alive for ten thousand years—a central element of that science fiction setting.
