What Happened To The Trade Federation Under The Galactic Empire?

What happened to the Trade Federation under the Galactic Empire? Once a dominant force in trade across star systems and major hyperlanes, the Trade Federation’s control came to an abrupt halt with the rise of Palpatine’s Galactic Empire. In the aftermath, Acting Viceroy Sentepeth Findos valiantly resisted the Empire’s grip. However, mere days after the end of the Clone Wars he was compelled by Stormtroopers to sign a peace treaty with the Empire.

This relinquished all of the Federation’s vast resources into Imperial control, and they were placed under the Imperial Senate’s oversight, where they functioned in a reduced capacity until the Emperor dissolved the Senate nearly two decades later. Because of this, many ex-Trade Federation members joined the Rebel Alliance to put an end to the Empire’s oppressive rule.
