==History==
The Earth Directorate was formed on Earth in the years following the Great War to regulate trade and arbitrate international, and inter-corporate disputes.FROM: J. BartellLoading screen hints Between the Great War of the mid-21st century and the invention of the skip drive, theorists had disputed the power of the skip drive, but rather attributed the Earth Directorate's rise to power as being a pre-War entity, dominating the corporations, having been weakened by the costs of the Great War, with the drive giving them extra power over them.FROM C. Eldridge By the 23rd century, the Directorate is also responsible for the cataloging and licensing of star systems to various corporations or corporate entities.
At some point the ED sold Halcyon to the Halcyon Holdings Corporation.
It is currently unknown if the Earth Directorate still exists in any official form following the disconnection of Earth from its colonies.
