The Commerce Guild, sometimes referred to as the Commerce Guilds,[8] was a conglomerate of several galactic-scale corporate organizations such as agricorps, retailers, arms manufacturers, shipbuilders, service providers, and the Mining Guild. Headquartered on Felucia, it was nevertheless controlled by the Gossams of Castell.[2]
Despite being a competitor to the Corporate Alliance,[2] the Commerce Guild joined the Alliance as well as several other conglomerates in pledging its support and its army to Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars;[8] Presidente Shu Mai sat on the Separatist Council for the duration of the conflict.[1] In 19 BBY, the Separatist Alliance was defeated and Mai was killed by Darth Vader on Mustafar.[9] In 3 BBY, agents of the Guild attempted to purchase the Phylanx Redux Transmitter during an auction on Cantonica.[10]
