Editing (section) The galaxy/Legends 0 You are not logged in. ==Economy== {{Main|Galactic economy}} The spread of technology and civilization throughout the galaxy led to the development of the [[galactic economy]], the system of production, distribution, trade, and consumption of goods. Few planets were entirely self-sufficient, with some, such as the [[factory world]]s of [[Telti/Legends|Telti]] and [[Mechis III/Legends|Mechis III]], devoting their economies solely to the production of high-tech goods but relying on [[Agriworld/Legends|agriworlds]] for food. In turn, these agriworlds relied on on manufacturing worlds to supply heavy equipment to harvest and process [[Foodstuff/Legends|foodstuffs]], and chemical industries to produce fertilizers and pesticides.<ref name="EGTWAT">''[[The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology]]''</ref> The importance of the galactic economy meant that a number of megacorporations were able to acquire immense economic and political power. In the years prior to the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], the [[Trade Federation/Legends|Trade Federation]], a conglomerate of shipping and merchant cartels, controlled the votes of hundreds of star systems in the [[Galactic Senate/Legends|Galactic Senate]] by making their commerce dependent on its [[Trade Federation Merchant Fleet|Merchant Fleet]] and enforcing deals with the [[Trade Defense Force]].<ref name="EGW" /> Companies such as the [[SoroSuub Corporation/Legends|SoroSuub Corporation]], which under the Empire outright controlled the government of the planet [[Sullust/Legends|Sullust]], produced goods for hundreds of fields. [[TaggeCo]] controlled hundreds of star systems and dozens of subsidiaries, making it one of the galaxy's most influential organizations. Even relatively small businesses, such as the [[Figg conglomerate]] in the [[Greater Javin/Legends|Greater Javin]], commanded substantial influence on their [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworlds]] and [[sector]]s.<ref name="EGTWAT" /> The main currency of the Galactic Republic was the [[Galactic Credit Standard]], divided into ten [[decicred]]s.<ref name="SOTE">[[Shadows of the Empire (novel)|''Shadows of the Empire'']]</ref> Loading editor Standard preloads (select a template to preload its contents): Custom preload pagename: Insert: – — … ° ≈ ≠ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Sign your username: ~~~~ Wiki markup: {{}} | [] [[]] [[Category:]] #REDIRECT [[]] <s></s> <sup></sup> <sub></sub> <code></code> <blockquote></blockquote> <ref></ref> <references/> <includeonly></includeonly> <noinclude></noinclude> <nowiki></nowiki> Symbols: ~ | ¡ ¿ † ‡ ↔ ↑ ↓ • ¶ # ¹ ² ³ ½ ⅓ ⅔ ¼ ¾ ⅛ ⅜ ⅝ ⅞ Characters: Á á Ć ć É é Í í Ĺ ĺ Ń ń Ó ó Ŕ ŕ Ś ś Ú ú Ý ý Ź ź À à È è Ì ì Ò ò Ù ù  â Ĉ ĉ Ê ê Ĝ ĝ Ĥ ĥ Î î Ĵ ĵ Ô ô Ŝ ŝ Û û Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ Ä ä Ë ë Ï ï Ö ö Ü ü Ÿ ÿ ß Ã ã Ẽ ẽ Ĩ ĩ Ñ ñ Õ õ Ũ ũ Ỹ ỹ Ç ç Ģ ģ Ķ ķ Ļ ļ Ņ ņ Ŗ ŗ Ş ş Ţ ţ Đ đ Ů ů Ǎ ǎ Č č Ď ď Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ľ ľ Ň ň Ǒ ǒ Ř ř Š š Ť ť Ǔ ǔ Ž ž Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū Ȳ ȳ Ǣ ǣ ǖ ǘ ǚ ǜ Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ğ ğ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ Ċ ċ Ė ė Ġ ġ İ ı Ż ż Ą ą Ę ę Į į Ǫ ǫ Ų ų Ḍ ḍ Ḥ ḥ Ḷ ḷ Ḹ ḹ Ṃ ṃ Ṇ ṇ Ṛ ṛ Ṝ ṝ Ṣ ṣ Ṭ ṭ Ł ł Ő ő Ű ű Ŀ ŀ Ħ ħ Ð ð Þ þ Œ œ Æ æ Ø ø Å å Ə ə Greek: Ά ά Έ έ Ή ή Ί ί Ό ό Ύ ύ Ώ ώ Α α Β β Γ γ Δ δ Ε ε Ζ ζ Η η Θ θ Ι ι Κ κ Λ λ Μ μ Ν ν Ξ ξ Ο ο Π π Ρ ρ Σ σ ς Τ τ Υ υ Φ φ Χ χ Ψ ψ Ω ω Please note: No personal information from you is required to edit on Wookieepedia.
