History

The Trade Federation was an interstellar business conglomerate that existed in the years of the Old Republic with it being run by the Neimoidians race. They came to be one of the wealthiest corporate organizations in the galaxy as they controlled most of the shipping that passed through the Rim territories.

They later came under the control of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious who gave them orders to send their battle droids to invade the planet Naboo to create a government crisis. A Droid Control Ship was placed into orbit that controlled their Droid Army that was used to occupy Naboo.

Afterwards, the Federation continued its secret subversion of the Republic and was among the corporations that came to meet with Count Dooku. Their delegation came upon the meeting on Geonosis where they stood alongside the likes of the Techno Union, InterGalactic Banking Clan, Corporate Alliance and others. This led to a formal declaration of the Confederacy of Independent Systems that declared their separation from the Galactic Republic. At that time, the Republic had established the Grand Army of the Republic that was deployed with the Clone Troopers to engage this newly formed hostile state. This resulted in the galaxy being engulfed in the Clone Wars with the Trade Federation operating alongside the Separatists.

Overview

Leadership of the Federation was held by a person holding the title of Viceroy.

Its power led to them getting their own representative in the Republic Senate who lobbied for even greater power.

To enforce its operations, the Trade Federation made use of soldiers that consisted entirely of droids with these forming the Droid Army.

One component in their military was the Droid Control Ship that used a central computer to control the armies of battle droids. Destruction of the ship caused all the battle droids to shut down as they were completely reliant on the signals from the control vessel. Over time, the practice of using Droid Control Ships was stopped with Battle Droids containing their own droid brains allowing them to operate independently.
