The Transport guild, with the Power guild, engineered the downfall of the Republica Galactica. It was led by Trader Barons. The guild gradually built up secret control over the Great Senate and faced off a Jedi investigation by having the Order declared traitors. As chaos engulfed the galaxy, new economic measures were put in place, making the cost of transport much more expensive, profiting the guild tremendously.
Behind the scenes
Like the Power guild, the Transport guild was the basis for the corporate machinations in Episode II and Episode III. One of the founders of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was the Commerce Guild.
