Bothan Trade Union

The Bothan Trade Union was formed in 16 ABY on Bothawui by Ladro [K'shan], a [Bothan] market speculator from Drev'starn.

The BTU is the cover organization for Bothawui's growing criminal partnership. Composed of Bothans and non-Bothans alike the BTU operates in the capitol city of Drev'starn on Bothawui. Similar in structure to the Hutt cartels its members engage in every illegal activity imagined.

The Trade Union is less violent than other older criminal organizations and is primarily concerned with reaching financial goals and attaining influence throughout the galaxy. The BTU has a major stake in smuggling activity and employs able pilots in record numbers.

The BTU prefers subtle manipulation of galactic concerns including rigging elections, black mail, stock manipulation, and corporate strikes to strong arming individuals or commiting acts of violence to further its goals. Money is the major motivator of the BTU and all of its member's enjoy the financial benefits.
