History
Historians are unsure when the title was added to the rank structure of the Trade Federation. At one time, Magistrate was the second in command of the Trade Federation. It is suggested that Duceroy was added under the reign of Viceroy Corbin Esco, but all efforts to resolve the issue have come up cold.

The Role of the Duceroy
As the right hand man to the Viceroy and second in command of the Trade Federation, the Duceroy is answerable only to the Viceroy. The Duceroy (if no Regent is appointed) serves as second in the line of succession should the Viceroy die while in office or resign his command. The Duceroy's duties in the Trade Federation will vary depending on the Viceroys wishes. Most Duceroys also head the Department of the Treasury.
Duceroyal Powers
A. The Duceroy shall have executive authority under the direction of the Viceroy and is the de facto second in command of the Trade Federation. The Duceroy shall share in the responsibilities of running the day-to-day operations of the Trade Federation. If the Viceroy is unable to perform his duties on any occasion, the Duceroy will take charge of the Trade Federation until the Viceroy returns.
B. The Duceroy, under direction of the Viceroy, is able to spend the credits in the treasury of the Trade Federation.

D. If the Viceroy is temporarily away, the Duceroy will assume all authority of the Viceroy while he is away. The Cabinet shall appoint a temporary Duceroy. The temporary Duceroy is appointed out of the Cabinet members. The temporary Duceroy is then to perform the duties of the Duceroy as well as his previous duties before receiving the title of Acting Duceroy.
E. The Duceroy can be removed for the following reasons: treason, theft of Federation property, and under strong recommendation of the Viceroy. The Duceroy may also be removed for incapacitating illness and death. If the Duceroy feels he can no longer continue his duties, he may step down from the position in honorable discharge.
F. In selecting the Duceroy the following procedure will occur. The Viceroy selects an individual to be nominated for the position of Duceroy. After the nomination, the Cabinet will vote on the nomination and a majority of 3/4 of the Cabinet is needed to make the nominee the official Duceroy. In an event that the Cabinet refuses, the Viceroy must nominate another individual for the position.
G. The Duceroy will serve a lifetime term.
