Commerce Guild

The Commerce Guild was a powerful trade conglomerate led by Presidente Shu Mai.

Description
A powerful trade conglomerate, the Commerce Guild was led by a Presidente. It used intimidation tactics to acquire smaller companies, and its members were known to use intimidation, bribery, and blackmail in their dealings. The financial interests of commerce guilds often clashed with the wishes of Separatist senators. Commerce Guild offices were filled with shrewd and scheming Gossam businessbeings, while others served as Gossam Commandos in the military of the Punitive Security Forces.

History
The female Gossam Shu Mai served as Presidente of the Commerce Guild, a ruthless businessbeing who lived in elegance and finery on Castell. Rather than saving her people from financial ruin, Mai purchased her homeworld and extorted the Gossam for her own profit, taking courtesans and pleasure slaves. She also availed herself of her aide, Cat Miin.

Presidente Mai joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a member of the Separatist Council when Count Dooku formally united the commerce guilds into the Confederacy on Geonosis, and joined forces with Senator Rogwa Wodrata. The pair humiliated Padmé Amidala on Geonosis, teaming up to pin Amidala down and forcing her to eat out Mai's wrinkled slit.

Mai continued to accumulate wealth for the Commerce Guild in the Clone Wars, and purchased several Togruta slaves from the Zygerrians. She died on Mustafar in 19 BBY.
