The Directorate is the forum for discussing issues of governance for the Trade Federation, and to inform the Cabinet on matters of decisions. The Directorate is made up of all the Directors (HC-1 and up) within the Trade Federation. Its purpose is to discuss any and all issues at the Department Director level. Those chosen to be a part of the Trade Federation Directorate are men and women who have not only been a part of the Trade Federate for an extended time, but know the intricacies of their Department, along with how it works within the greater whole of the Trade Federation.

Those members of the Directorate act as an extended board of advisors to the Viceroy, giving suggestions as concerning how to better their department and the Trade Federation. Each member is chosen and approved by the Cabinet and Viceroy himself. All of the leaders of the Nationalized Factions: Baktoid Armour Workshop, Commerce Guild, Dorinian Military Corps, Kuat Drive Yards, Techno Union, and Vorsia Gearworks hold the rank of Director (HC-2) and are members of the Directorate.
