Techno Union

"We develop many technologies here and we offer them to the highest bidder."

- Wat Tambor

The Techno Union was a commerce guild comprised of technology firms that allied itself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Separatist Crisis leading up to the Clone Wars. During this conflict, the group was led by Foreman Wat Tambor. They were responsible for the design of many of the droids used by the Separatist Droid Army, including the B1 and B2 battle droids. The Techno Union claimed neutrality in the Clone Wars, and were even represented by Senator Gume Saam in the Galactic Senate, but in deeds continued to support the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the Clone Wars, the Republic was reformed into the Galactic Empire, and the Techno Union was absorbed by the new government, forcing its low-level technicians and machine smiths to seek new employment all over the galaxy.

Separatist Crisis
"The Techno Union army is at your disposal Count"

- Wat Tambor

Prior to the Separatist Crisis the Techno Union designed the OOM, B1 battle droid and B2 battle droid amongst other products through its subsidiaries Baktoid Armor Workshop and Baktoid Combat Automata. The Techno Union expensively contracted the Stalgasian Hive to construct Geonosian droid factories and manufacture it's droids. It sold its droid models to clients like the Trade Federation.

It constructed it's headquarters in Purkell on Skako Minor.

During a summit on the planet Geonosis, the Techno Union pledged to supply a droid army to the Separatist Alliance and Wat Tambor pledged allegiance to the Separatist Alliance- by extension granting himself and the Union representation on the Separatist Council.

Clone Wars
The Techno Union claimed neutrality during the war, developing technologies for both sides. In reality, the Techno Union was secretly allied with the Separatists. Using it's status as an important Galactic corporation the Techno Union lobbied in the [{Galactic Senate]] for an increased war effort through it's senator Gume Saam. Their intention was to create greater need for the Union's products from the Republic.

The Techno Union controlled the planet of Ryloth alongside the Confederacy during the Battle of Ryloth. After a Jedi infiltration of the Citadel, Clone Trooper "Echo" was presumed to be dead. After being captured by the Separatists, the Techno Union purchased Echo to experiment on. The Techno Union created a brain-computer interface of Echo.

During the Battle of Anaxes the Techno Union was able to utilize a strategy algorithm that Echo had on him and sold the algorithm's predictions as a software service to the Confederacy.

Sometime before the Battle of Anaxes the Techno Union created a prototype organic decimator, planning to sell it to the Separatists.
