Trade Federation
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sw_trade_federation.png

The Trade Federation was an interstellar shipping and trade conglomerate led by the Neimoidians during the waning years of the Galactic Republic, one so powerful that it had its own representatives in the Galactic Senate. Under the orders of Darth Sidious/Sheev Palpatine, the Trade Federation invaded Naboo with a droid army to spark a government crisis that resulted in Palpatine getting elected into office as Supreme Chancellor. It later became one of the leading Separatist powers during the Clone Wars. At the conclusion of the war, the remaining Trade Federation leaders were killed and the remnants of the organization were assimilated by the Empire, with much of its wealth ending up in the hands of Imperial financers like Arsin Crassus.


  • Adaptational Jerkass:
    • In Legends (as presented in the Darth Plagueis novel), the Trade Federation actually started out with semi-legitimate reasons to distrust the Republic and amass their own army: their trading fleets were constantly besieged by pirates and terrorists (secretly moved by Plagueis and Sidious, which the Federation obviously didn't know), and the Republic government led by Chancellor Valorum was proving utterly unable to protect them due to political corruption and infighting about trade and taxation (again, fueled by Plagueis and Sidious), which Sidious later exploited to excite the Neimoidians' greed and attract them to the Separatist Alliance. None of the aforementioned traits from Legends get included into the canon, which effectively turns the canon version of the Trade Federation into a group of petty warmongers from beginning to end.
    • Darth Maul, however, recanonizes the pirate attacks, though it's after they've allied themselves with Sidious.
    • Tarkin also shows that after the disastrous Eriadu Conference, which the radical political group Nebula Front tried to assassinate Chancellor Finis Valorum,note  and failed, Nute Gunray and his Neimoidian allies took advantage of the ensuing power vacuum and became the new managers of the company.
    • Queen's Hope shows there was at least one Neimodian named Oje N'deeb whose faction wanted Nute Gunray and his allies out of the company since their actions ruined their image and wished to meet with a Senator in private.
  • Armchair Military: In general, the Neimoidians make terrible military leaders, which is why they delegate such roles to specialized droids and professional officers.
  • Dirty Cowards: Qui-Gon notes that "these Federation types are cowards". Case in point, they are fully willing to launch an invasion on a peaceful planet, but try to scurry away when they discover that the Jedi are in their way.
  • The Federation: In Name Only; it's more of a MegaCorp.
  • Greed: The primary motivation for the Trade Federation, as the Opening Scroll of The Phantom Menace narrates.
  • Hoist by Their Own Petard:
    • Like the other corporate members of the Separatists, the Trade Federation tried to play both sides of the war, but ended up destroyed by it. The Separatists lost while the faction that formally stayed within the Republic was nationalized by the Empire that they inadvertently helped create.
    • Their actions also inadvertently led to the creation of Darth Vader, who then murdered them and their fellow Separatists on Mustafar once they outlived their usefulness.
  • Lack of Empathy: They don't seem to care that their invasion of Naboo would result in the suffering and deaths of billions, just so long as they get their commerce.
  • MegaCorp: The Federation is so powerful and influential, it actually has representatives on the Galactic Senate as if it were its own planet.
  • No Historical Figures Were Harmed: The Trade Federation is based off of the real world British East India Company and Dutch East India Company, both historical trading companies who were known for having their own private armies and fleets, and remembered for their wars against various indigenous groups, most notably on the Indian subcontinent. Not coincidentally, the people of Naboo have names taken from Sanskrit, an ancient and classical Indian language - thus furthering the parallels between the Trade Federation and the aforementioned trading companies.
  • Not What I Signed on For: Everything they do is to satisfy their own greed without the Republic bossing them around. They soon realize how far over their heads they're in once the Jedi and Sith get involved.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: The Trade Federation was able to get away with the invasion of Naboo for as long as it did because not only was the organization incredibly wealthy on a galactic scale, they were bribing senators to legitimize it. It's also how Nute Gunray managed to remain Viceroy after the invasion was shut down.
  • Slimeballs: By nature, Neimoidians of the Trade Federation are cowardly beings interested solely in personal profit, and have slimy-looking, mottled skin to match.
  • Standard Sci-Fi Army: The Droid Army would later be seen in full force as part of the Clone Wars, but we do get a nice look at its early stages. As they would later on, the Trade Federation fights with a heavily mechanized force, using tanks, heavy troop carriers, and starfighters to quickly occupy Naboo.
  • Standard Sci-Fi Fleet: The Trade Federation fleet consists of repurposed Lucrehulk-class freighters, which were converted into a combination battleship and troop carrier. At least one is designated as the command and control vessel, keeping the droids on the surface in operation.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Twice: First in The Phantom Menace, when they are convinced by Darth Sidious to invade Naboo, only for Sidious to use it as an excuse to get himself elected as Chancellor; and again in Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith when they get swept up in leading a war designed solely for Sidious to strengthen his hold on the galaxy.
  • War for Fun and Profit: While this wasn't well explained, in Attack of the Clones, they and the other mega corporations were officially neutral parties who sought to profit off the war from both sides. Only later did they throw in with the Separatists, or at least dropped the pretense.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Alongside the rest of the Separatists. Once Palpatine consolidates power across the galaxy and forges his Empire, he sends the newly-christened Darth Vader to massacre the Separatist leaders (including Nute Gunray) before shutting down their droid army. In the aftermath, the leaderless Trade Federation is nationalized, its wealth and production capabilities absorbed by the Galactic Empire.

Leadership

    Nute Gunray 

Viceroy Nute Gunray

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nute_gunray.png
"Ah, Victory!"

Species: Neimoidian

Homeworld: Neimoidia

Portrayed by: Silas Carson (films)
Voiced by: Tom Kenny (The Clone Wars)
Dubbed by: Thierry Desroses (French, Prequel Trilogy)
Appearances: The Phantom Menace | Attack of the Clones | Queen's Hope note  | The Clone Wars | Revenge of the Sith

"I never risk my own skin if I don't have to."

Nute Gunray was a Neimoidian who served as the Viceroy of the Trade Federation and a high-ranking member of the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems and chairman of the Separatist Council. Gunray led the Trade Federation through its invasion of the planet Naboo, at the behest of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious — who was secretly Sheev Palpatine, the Senator of Naboo, and who had engineered the conflict to be elected Supreme Chancellor. When his plans were thwarted by Queen Padmé Amidala, he joins the Separatist Alliance to take his revenge.


  • Adaptational Jerkass: In Legends, it is thoroughly explored that, while an asshole, Nute was exploited and corrupted by Sidious to achieve great political power. He eventually comes to deeply regret this, realizing he is in way over his head aligning with a Sith but recognizes his fate is out of his control when Dooku revealed Sidious is also the leader of the Separatist Alliance. In canon, all of Nute's sympathetic qualities are Adapted Out, rendering him as an unsympathetic Flat Character.
  • Arch-Enemy: He is one for Padmé. In The Phantom Menace, he was leading the invasion of her planet and she had much contempt for him. After that initial defeat, he felt the same way. In Attack of the Clones, when Padmé was being slashed by the nexu, Nute is shown cheering specifically for her death and previously wanted her to suffer. In The Clone Wars, Nute agrees to send relief supplies to Rodia in return for one small favor: kidnapping Padmé.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Downplayed in canon. When Darth Vader is sent to slaughter him as part of Palpatine's You Have Outlived Your Usefulness on the Separatist Council, Gunray is completely surprised at the betrayal and feebly begs for mercy before being brutally cut down. However, because he doesn't have the doubts and regrets along with the complex history with Palpatine he had in Legends, he comes off as much more of a cowardly Asshole Victim.
  • Arc Villain: Subverted. The trilogy of episodes in The Clone Wars that are focused on him is about his capture by the Republic and escape, but he's only the main villain of the first episode of the trilogy ("Bombad Jedi"). The only reason Dooku has Asajj Ventress break him out of Republic custody in "Cloak of Darkness" is because he doesn't want him blabbing any secrets, and is perfectly willing to tell Ventress to kill Gunray if escape isn't an option.
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: Played with. "Viceroy" is apparently just the title given to the leader of the Trade Federation. However, said corporation apparently controls whole planets.
  • Asshole Victim: No one is going to be missing him, seeing as he was a cowardly, slimy corrupt piece of work. Heck, Palpatine sounded gleeful when he order Vader to kill him, even though Gunray was on his side. Anakin was only too happy to kill him considering Gunray's repeated attempts on Padmé's life.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: He likes to believe he's calling the shots, but Darth Sidious lets him know who is really holding the power in their conspiracy. From Naboo's perspective, however, his capture signals the end of the occupation.
  • Book Ends: In The Phantom Menace, he was the first of the Prequel Trilogy villains to appear. In Revenge of the Sith, he was the last of the Prequel Trilogy villains to be killed.
  • Character Death: He is the last of the Separatist leaders to be killed by Darth Vader on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith.
  • The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: The Empire recorded his death as a suicide despite the fact that his corpse that they didn't even bury and just left to rot at the Mining Facility has a lightsaber wound across the chest.
  • Cool Starship: Has his own Sheathipede-class transport shuttle, the Lapiz Cutter, which he uses in various moments throughout his life, such as visiting Naboo to rub his company's occupation of Padmé's home planet in her face, or escaping Geonosis during the Clone Wars' first battle there. He even orders his forces on Rodia to recover it due to having an attachment to the vessel.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: He's willing to enslave planets just to improve commerce.
  • Decapitation Presentation: Specifically demands Padmé's severed head be presented to him before he will commit to the Separatists.
  • Dirty Coward:
    • He even admits that he would never put himself at risk, unless he has no other choice.
    • When Gunray is captured by the Republic in "Bombad Jedi", Sidious orders Dooku to rescue or silence him in "Cloak of Darkness" because he is worried that Gunray would give the Jedi information to save his own skin. Considering that, per Word of God, Gunray is the one who told the Jedi Darth Maul's name after being captured at the end of The Phantom Menace, it appears that Sidious' fears are justified.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: In Attack of the Clones, he wants Padmé dead for her role in arresting him after the invasion of Naboo because it cost him a fortune to avoid punishment.
    Nute Gunray: Get on with it! Carry out the sentence, I want to see her suffer!
  • Double Standard: When Padmé had her back clawed by a Nexu during her failed execution, he starts giggling at her pain. When she manages to defend herself, he is offended, claiming that she should be shot for what she did.
  • Empty Promise: He promised immediate aid for the starving Rodia if Onaconda Farr helped him lure Padmé into a trap and arrest her. After arriving to Rodia, he said that he'll put the matter of the aid up for debate after Padmé's execution, which had not been in the bargain he made with Farr.
  • Establishing Character Moment: His first course of action upon learning that the Republic Ambassadors are Jedi? Why, contact his treacherous Sith Lord and tell him about it, of course. This cements him as the Dirty Coward and Unwitting Pawn that sticks for the rest of the Prequel Trilogy.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: It's implied when Sidious tells them to prepare their invasion of Naboo; Gunray questions whether doing so would be legal, to which Sidious says he'll make it legal. However, it may also be Pragmatic Villainy due to not wanting the inevitable backlash and sanctions for illegal actions.
  • Evil Laugh: Delivers a cruel chuckle in Lair of Grevious when his Jedi pursuers, consisting of Kit Fitso and his former Padawan Nahdar Vebb, have stumbled into General Grevious' lair on Vassek 3 and found out he wasn't there all along.
    Gunray: You have nothing, Jedi fools! I welcome you to your doom! Hahahahaha!
  • Greed: His main motivation in aligning with the Sith is the promise of wealth. He even keeps demanding that Cad Bane pay him back after losing parts of the Trade Federation's fleet sent to him by Sidious.
  • He Knows Too Much: When he gets captured by the Republic, Count Dooku sends Ventress to free him, or silence him, before the Jedi could make him talk. Luckily for Gunray, Ventress manages to pull off the former option.
  • Hypocrite: His admittance of cowardice comes off as this when you realize he already took an unnecessary risk in the first place just by being a Corrupt Corporate Executive.
    Nute Gunray: All I know is I never risk my own skin if I don't have to.
    [Ahsoka glares at him]
    Nute Gunray: What?
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Mostly due to being generally bullied around by the real villains. He's not a pleasant person by any means, but all we see is a man out of his depth and fully aware of it.
  • It's Personal: This is how he feels about Padmé after she helps foil his invasion of Naboo. So much so that he refuses to join the Separatists unless they kill Padmé for him. He specifically tells Dooku that he'll only sign the Separatist treaty when he has Padmé's head on his desk.
  • Jerkass: Gunray is a slimy, greedy, unpleasant, warmongering little snake and he seldom pretends otherwise.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: At the end of The Phantom Menace, he's arrested and tried four times for the invasion of Naboo, but the fact that he's still Trade Federation Viceroy by Attack of the Clones means he got off scott free. In The Clone Wars, he is captured by the Republic on Rodia, only to be liberated by Asajj Ventress en route to Coruscant for trial while aiding Cad Bane in unlocking the Holocron stolen from the Jedi Temple. Karma eventually does catch up to him in Revenge of the Sith, where Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader finally butchers him along with the rest of the Separatist leaders.
  • Killed Mid-Sentence: He gets cut down by Darth Vader as he pleads for his life.
    Gunray: Th-The war is over! Lord Sidious promised us peace. We only want— ARGH!!
  • Lean and Mean: He's a rather lanky and very nasty character.
  • Meaningful Name: The chairman of an armamentistic corporation has a name which reads as "ray-gun" backwards. And his vaguely amphibian appearance might explain the "newt" part.
  • Moral Myopia: He wants revenge on Padmé because she had him arrested for the Trade Federation's occupation of Naboo, an illegal, armed occupation that resulted in the suffering and deaths of thousands of innocent people.
  • Never Suicide: The Empire covered up his death at the hands of Anakin as a suicide.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He is a self-admitted coward, with little to no fighting prowess, but he can still knock out someone from behind, as Commander Gree found out. Ahsoka even claimed that he looked harmless enough.
  • Oh, Crap!: He's clearly scared out of his mind when Anakin brutally slaughters the Separatist council and is saving him for last.
  • Opinion Flip-Flop: After Argyus springs him from prison, Gunray remarks "I always had a good feeling about you, captain". After Ventress killed Argyus, Gunray immediately gave her the same compliment (replacing "captain" with "assassin").
  • Revenge: He wants Padmé dead, for her role in arresting him after the invasion of Naboo, mainly because it cost him a fortune to get away from punishment.
  • Revenge Myopia: Nute Gunray wants revenge against Padmé for stopping him when he, you know, invaded her planet and enslaved her people. Talk about a sense of entitlement. This is especially nonsensical since Padmé is the leader of the opposition to the Republic using armed force against the Separatists, so the Separatist leaders should have a vested interest in keeping her around. Soon-to-be Emperor Palpatine wants the war, as it will thin Jedi numbers and set the Republic in the perfect position to be taken over by him, so removing Padmé's opposition is critical.
  • Slimeball: Aside from being a war criminal, he's also a hypocrite and a misogynist.
  • Smug Snake: Spineless, greedy, petty, slimy... yeah, he's this trope.
  • Starter Villain: He serves as this for the Prequel Trilogy (and thus the films) as a whole, being a cowardly Corrupt Corporate Executive out to invade a single planet over a trade dispute in contrast to the galaxy-spanning ambitions of the Sith.
  • Starter Villain Stays: While he's ultimately a pawn of Sidious Nute Gunray is an important villain of the Prequel Trilogy; he's behind the Assassination Attempt on Padme and an important figure of the Separatist Alliance. Palpatine may be behind everything, but Gunray was an important part of what allowed him to become so powerful.
  • Take That!: His name was derived from Newt Gingrichnote  and a reworking of the surname of Ronald Reagannote . In real life, George Lucas does not hold a very high opinion of either of these politicians.
  • Tears of Fear: His final moments have him breaking down and sobbing as he pleads for Anakin/Darth Vader to spare his life.
  • You Are in Command Now: It's heavily implied that following the deaths of Dooku and then Grievous, Gunray is the highest-ranking member of the Separatists still alive. Not that he gets to do much with his new position before he gets killed by Darth Vader.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: This is his fate in Revenge of the Sith. Once Darth Sidious is confident in his victory, he sends his new apprentice to slaughter him along with the rest of the Separatist leaders.

"We should not have made this bargain!"

Rune Hako was a cowardly Neimoidian official and Viceroy Gunray's lieutenant.


  • Amoral Attorney: He serves as the Viceroy's legal counsel, and the Visual Dictionary describes his headgear as an attorney's cowl.
  • Big "NO!": His last words before being killed by Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith.
  • Character Death: He was executed with the rest of the Separatist leadership by Darth Vader.
  • Foreshadowing: His quote "We will not survive this" was this unintentionally. At the time he was talking specifically about the Jedi on the Trade Federation ship. While he did survive that event, he was correct in that they did not ultimately survive as he and Nute Gunray were killed by Vader.
  • Nervous Wreck: While Neimoidians are usually pessimists and prone to great stress by nature, Haako's overly nervous personality is said to be well beyond even his people's standards.
  • Number Two: Answers directly to Viceroy Gunray.
  • Satellite Character: All of his scenes revolve around his interaction with Gunray.
  • You Don't Look Like You: In Attack of the Clones, he looks and sounds different from the preceding and following theatrical films. This is because the mask for Haako was lost after the filming of The Phantom Menace, so they used the mask for Daultay Dofine instead. Because of the drastically different appearance, the Neimoidian seen with Nute Gunray on Geonosis was originally supposed to be Lott Dod, then because he didn't resemble Dod or sound like him, Lucasfilm renamed the character Gilramos Libkath... then for some reason chucked that and said it was Rune Haako, in open defiance of all evidence to the contrary.

"This is outrageous! I object to the senator's statements!"

Lott Dodd was the Trade Federation's representative in the Galactic Senate.


  • Ascended Extra: He had one scene in The Phantom Menace, but received an expanded role in The Clone Wars.
  • Blatant Lies: Dod's sole job in the Senate is to fervently deny whatever illegal actions the Federation is accused of doing. In The Phantom Menace, it was the blockade and invasion of Naboo. After the Clone Wars began, he repeatedly insists that the Trade Federation is a neutral party despite the fact that Nute Gunray (whom he insists doesn't represent the Federation as a whole, when the title of "Viceroy" is the highest position in the Federation) and parts of the organization are openly supplying the Separatists, something that other senators and representatives opposed to the war (such as Bail Organa, Jar Jar Binks and Riyo Chuchi) aren't afraid to call him out on. Even though that's technically true to an extent and he's milking both sides of the war, most of his actions clearly favor the Separatists. When the Trade Federation ships blockading Pantora in "Sphere of Influence" (which had none of the Separatists' colors and logo on them) were revealed to have Separatist droids on board, he simply used fleet commander Sib Canay as a scapegoat.
  • The Chessmaster: Not quite up at Palpatine and Dooku's level, but "Supply Lines" really showed that he can play a mean game.
  • Corrupt Politician: His role is to make sure the Trade Federation remains part of the Republic while it profits from trading with both sides. He bribes other senators into keeping quiet about the Federation's blockade of Naboo.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: At the end of "Supply Lines", Lott confronted Katuunko, Organa, and Jar Jar for Toydaria helping the Republic send aid to Ryloth. Organa simply told him to bring the issue in front of the Senate if he had proof of any treaty violation. The Senate, whose incompetence Dod knows of perfectly well, since he himself took advantage of it numerous times.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: For all his scandal cover-ups, profiting off of both sides and trying to keep the Clone Wars going, Dod didn't suffer any onscreen physical or legal retribution. Star Wars: Poe Dameron confirms that he died at some point late in the Clone Wars, but his cause of death is unknown.
  • Playing Both Sides: He repeatedly states that the Trade Federation itself is neutral in the war. As it turns out (quite unsurprisingly), they're milking both the Republic and the Separatists.
  • Rules Lawyer: When Queen Amidala tries to address the Senate, Dod exploits a loophole to propose having a committee validate that the invasion of Naboo is actually happening.
  • Take That!: His name is derived from then-US senators Trent Lott and Chris Dodd. The latter is also a former lobbyist, and Lott Dodd is effectively a lobbyist for the Trade Federation in all but name.
  • War for Fun and Profit: As far he's concerned, he wants to keep the Clone Wars going so the Trade Federation is still a viable business for both sides.

An OOM-series Battle Droid commander served as the leader of the Trade Federation's droid army on Naboo.


  • Character Death: He gets deactivated, though not completely destroyed, when Anakin knocks out the droid control ship.
  • Commanding Coolness: He serves as a commander in both rank and class, and proves to be a fairly competent leader in battle.
  • The Dragon: As the commander of the Trade Federation's Droid Army, OOM-9 serves this role for Nute Gunray in The Phantom Menace.
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: His gold highlights mark him as a commander and he's intelligent enough to have a solid grasp of battlefield tactics.
  • Hyper-Competent Sidekick: He's a capable commander without his superiors' input, given that he led the Droid Army in defeating and routing the Gungan Army on his own.
  • Mook Lieutenant: He leads the Battle Droid army during the occupation and against the Gungans.
  • Near-Villain Victory: OOM-9 was able to rout and capture the Gungan army, but was unfortunately shut down when Anakin destroyed the droid control ship.

Appearances: The Phantom Menace

"Impossible! Nothing can get through our shields."

Daultay Dofine was the captain of the Lucrehulk-class freighter Saak'ak and commander of the Trade Federation blockade over Naboo.


  • All There in the Script: Unnamed in the movie, he's identified in the novelization.
  • Alliterative Name: Daultay Dofine.
  • The Captain: Commands the Trade Federation flagship, from where he directs the droid army during the invasion of Naboo.
  • Character Death: He dies when the Trade Federations' flagship is destroyed during the Battle of Naboo.
  • Dirty Coward: Like most Neimoidians in the Trade Federation, although he was able to summon the courage to openly question Darth Sidious' plans.
  • This Cannot Be!: As seen in the quote above, this is his reaction when informed the droid control ship's main reactor was damaged and losing power.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Given that he's the captain of the Battle Droid army's control station, he needs to take any major problem with the ship seriously. Except he doesn't take that hint when he is told about the ship's reactor having been blown away by Anakin Skywalker, and he dismisses the report out of his "certainty" that nothing could have penetrated the ship's deflector shields, not realizing that Anakin had unintentionally infiltrated the ship when the shields were lowered to allow a lander to depart. Even then, he doesn't take any precautions about the issue and doesn't order an evacuation from the room. He never finds out how serious the issue is until the control room is incinerated and the control computer blows up, leading to his death as well as that of his crew.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Only appears for several short scenes before dying.

"Looks like our guests got a little too curious for their own good."

Sib Canay was a Trade Federation officer who oversaw the blockade of Pantora during the Clone Wars.


  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: He is supposed to be a "loyal" Trade Federation official. In reality, he uses the Republic's laws to advance Separatist interests by "legally" blockading Pantora while ordering kidnappings.
  • The Scapegoat: Senator Lott Dod pins all the blame for the blockade of Pantora and the kidnapping of Chairman Papanoida's daughters on Canay, claiming that he was a secret Separatist officer who acted without Trade Federation knowledge.
  • Villain of the Week: He appears as the main villain in "Sphere of Influence" and is never seen again after being arrested.
