Trace the rise of the Trade Federation in Star Wars — from its humble origins as a Republic-chartered shipping mediator in 350 BBY to a galaxy-spanning megacorporation with its own droid army and Senate seat. We cover the Stark Hyperspace War, the Neimoidian takeover under Viceroy Nute Gunray, the secret alliance with Darth Sidious, and the events that set the stage for the Invasion of Naboo. Explore how commerce became conquest in the Expanded Universe, and how a trade cartel helped bring down the Galactic Republic.

Dive beneath the lakes of Naboo to explore the culture of the Gungans — their amphibious biology, ancient warrior traditions, organic technology, and the rich mythology of their gods known as the guds. From the founding of Otoh Gunga and the War of the Gungan Tribes to the Battle of Naboo, the Clone Wars, and the sacrifice of General Tarpals, we cover the full history of one of the galaxy's most misunderstood species. Far more than Jar Jar Binks, the Gungans are a proud civilization whose Grand Army helped shape the fate of the Expanded Universe.
