Merchant Board
The Trade Conglomerate Merchant Board is the combination of the leadership of the 4 businesses and a military arm. The 5 buisnesses consist of Ship Manurfacturing, Armorsmithing, Droid Construction, Weaponsmith, Escort and Trade. These 5 leaders consist of the head of the UTC only to be shadowed by the Viceroy.
Anything that is to be planned, constructed, or negosiated, must run through the Merchant Board before anything can follow through. Fleet plans and private military movements are monitored by the Police Cheifs and the Merchant Board.
The Merchant Board No Longer Exists
Viceroy
The Viceroy is the head of the UTC only the tie breaker and mediator of all the allies. The Viceroy is more the glue of the Conglomerate then the dictator leader. He assist with the planning and has the final say in all agreements. If he vetoes any agreement, then the Board must redraw a new agreement. Though the Viceroy can only veto if he/she believes the agreement will hurt the UTC.
