There are not really other aspects of how the imperium of man works that really give you an idea of how people outside of the military forces of the imperium work. What does the average person do in their day to day life? Not everyone is going to be in the Adeptus Astares or Guards or milita. In order for this pan-galactic empire to exist theres got to be an economy some infrastructure someones got to know how the technology works.
I think it's either military or die, there are so many enemies to kill that I'd be surprised if anybody has time to have a day to day life...
Though I don't really know, Star Wars always has and always will be my favourite Science Fiction.
Playing DoW2, they do have non-military castes/sects/organizations, but their military is allowed to enlist/conscript non-soldiers into battle. However, the more corporate groups who control weapon production and whatnot can bargain with the Marines/Guard (ie, clear out enemies in <area name> and access to weapon storage will be granted). That's my take on it . . . chances are, if you're a civilian and some threat has arrived, you're pretty much screwed (meaning the only real job of the non-military groups is to make weapons, establish cities, and breed). As for technology, its a futuristic dark age run by people with a "Spanish Inquisition" mindset.
