The primary governing assembly of the Corporate Sector Authority, referred to as the Direx Board, Board of Directors, or the Executive Directorship Board, functioned as its executive branch.
This body was composed of 55 individuals, each titled a Direx. These individuals were all prominent business leaders, with 37 positions held by sponsor corporations who possessed voting rights. The remaining 18 positions were allocated on a rotating basis among contributing members who, while lacking voting power, held the authority to approve the CSA's financial plans.
The ExO served as the leader of the Direx Board. Additional key roles included the Prex (also known as the President), Viceprex, Auditor-General, and the Imperial Advisor, who acted as the representative for the interests of the Galactic Empire.
