The Trade Federation was a prominent bloc of corporations that existed under the Old Republic. Founded in 350 BBY, the Trade Federation emerged as a powerful force both economically and politically, gaining representation in the galactic senate, as well as maintaining a sizable armed force for dealing with pirates and other such threats to galactic safety. The Trade Federation under the control of Neimoidian Viceroy Nute Gunray was manipulated by Darth Sidious to launch an ill fated invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY and latter, became one of the main figures in the Confederacy during the Clone Wars. After the Confederacy's defeat, the Trade Federation was nationalized into the galactic empire.
