Leadership Structure

Directorate

The alliance has a Directorate responsible for command and decision-making. The Directorate is meritocratically appointed to lead specific fields of expertise. As a failsafe mechanism, the upper leadership of Collective (The Cores) has the final say in all matter deemed necessary. The Directorate listens to the Council for ideas and implements the best ones. The specific responsibilities of each role is elaborated in the constitution.

Directorate
Position	Appointed	Faction
Chief of Staff	Leon the Lion	Red Wood Industries
Personnel Officer	?
Intelligence Officer	Cashmere Captain	Argentavian Federation
Operations Officer	RedKite	Argentavian Federation
Logistics Officer	?
Technology Officer	Solonerus	Collective
Planning Officer	Spacekeek	Red Wood Industries
Comm & IT Officer🔒	Volcano	Collective
Training Officer	?
Finance Officer🔒	Battle_wrath	Collective
Political Liaison Officer	FFT2003	Red Wood Industries

• Most of the Directorate roles are to be given outside of Collective. The two roles marked '🔒' will always fall to a highly trusted Collective member for security and consistency purposes.

Council

A place for faction representatives to discuss, provide suggestions and vote on proposals so they're more likely to be considered for implementation. This is not a decision-making body, but a platform for feedback. Just like experience and skills leads in Directorate, best arguments lead in Council, not the size of your faction.

Council
Appointed	Faction
Battle_wrath	Collective
Cashmere Captain	Argentavian Federation
Firepyro	Machine
Combustible	Quasar Systems
Kitten	Imperium of Man
Leon the Lion	Red Wood Industries
