• Factions marked with * are subsidiaries.

The ideology of Substrate is primarily upheld at the alliance level and don't have to strictly apply to member factions outside of Substrate channels and space.

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. Major decisions, such as a faction joining or war, go through a council vote. The specific responsibilities of each role is elaborated in the constitution.

• 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 lead in Directorate, best arguments lead in Council, not the size of your faction.
