Introduction
The new Exchange was founded on Day 26 of Year 9. The principles of trust, integrity, and discipline influenced the development of all aspects of the Exchange, both military and commercial. The Exchange is now a leading provider of full-spectrum military services for governments and corporations in and around the Woldona sector. These services include: personnel training, escort, recon and scanning, logistical solutions, construction, force protection, and government or corporate military solutions.
History
The Exchange is an elite paramilitary force with a long and violent history.
In its current form, the Exchange bears little resemblance to the criminal organization of the Old Republic, from which it has evolved. Prior to the rise of the Empire, the criminal element was nearly eliminated in its conflict with the Hutts. The remnants coalesced into small splinter groups such as mercenary bands, bounty hunters, and smugglers. Illegal activity had always operated behind the scenes amidst a broad network of traditional commercial interests, such as mining, production, and transportation. These enterprises continued to exist independently after the collapse of the shadow network that funded their creation.
Unbeknown to most, one band of warriors continued to thrive throughout the years, keeping their numbers small and their affiliation to The Exchange all but forgotten. As they gathered their resources and rebuilt their infrastructure, they survived by taking on small jobs with various other organizations, developing contacts, perfecting their trades, and preparing for their rebirth.
Ranks
Following a restructuring under new leadership in Year 12, The Exchange has abandoned formal rank in its entirety rather than the guise of such attempts under previous leaders. Members are instead a collection of privateers, banded together under a common code, The Code of the Brotherhood. The organization is led by the Council of Captains with a shifting figurehead based on operational duties.
