Trade Federation

The Trade Federation is the banking power of the galaxy. Before the Galactic Civil War they were a starkly neutral corporation that only served in its best interests. The Chancellor was able to manipulate them before the civil war to use the trade federation’s large private military to blockade strategic worlds and begin the Galactic Civil War. Since serving the Chancellor so faithfully , The Chancellor allows the Trade Federation to control all finances under The Empire as well as operate their own section of galactic space. The Empire does not directly involve itself in Trade Federation space, but they are always quick to respond when there is trouble.
