The United Trade Federation (UTF) was of disparate corporations that dominated trade in the galaxy circa Year 3. This economic alliance was created by Supreme Chancellor Dargon Yotam and his aide Praetor Torent Puma in order to protect economic interests and diplomatic privileges on planets along the various interstellar trade-routes.[1]

At its zenith circa Year 3, the United Trade Federation was comprised of Torent Puma's Outrider Trading (OT), Galactic Transportation Service (GTS), Saykor's InterGalactic Research and Exploration Center (IREC), Sterik Hasger's Blue Sabre Transportation (BST), the Genesis Corporation (GC), Angobba Desilijic Lucar's Hutt Council (HC), and other organizations.[2] The alliance's sphere of commercial influence purportedly stretched from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories during Year 3 through Year 4.

Although envisioned by Supreme Chancellor Yotam as a neutral power bloc, the alliance was quickly ensnared in the ongoing turmoil between Warlord Vodo Bonias' Dark Empire — an Imperial separatist movement headquartered on Bastion — and Emperor Charon's Galactic Empire which reigned from Coruscant. Yotam chose to support Charon's government as well as its subsidized proxies such as the Hutt Council in their war against Bonias and his Sith followers.

Ultimately, the growing stranglehold of Yotam's United Trade Federation on galactic commerce triggered the formation of a counter-alliance known as the League of Trade which consisted of Intellifish, Astralwerks Engineering, Haven, Sky Knight Trading Federation, Cosmo Corp, Integral Corporation, Paradox Resource Exploration, and Twin Star Mining.[3] This rival economic pact proved to be a formidable challenge for Yotam and, by the start of Year 4, the United Trade Federation found itself in a greatly weakened position. By late Year 4, the alliance had imploded and could no longer deal with its own internal struggles, as well as the dramatic political reversals that accompanied the sudden overthrow of Emperor Charon.

History

The United Trade Federation was initially a loose-knit collective of various organizations that joined together for a mutual economic benefit. In the hopes of its founder Dargon Yotam, the alliance would function much like the earlier Old Republic and act as a mechanism to resolve trade-related disputes. Each organization within the alliance was allowed a representative and each organizational leader participated in regular summit meetings.[1] The UTF was led by "The Triad" — three individuals that had assumed the responsibility to sit as speaker or any other function the UTF desired. The triad consisted of Supreme Chancellor Dargon Yotam, Praetor Torent Puma, and Consul.[1]
