Interstellar Trade Guild

The Interstellar Trade Guild, colloquially referred to simply as the Guild, is a multinational logistics organisation founded by a classified host of interstellar corporations. It is run by its Guild Board who are responsible for furthering the mission and mantle of the Guild: making trade between its members as fast, confidential and profitable as possible.

Founded in 2217, it spent its first many decades struggling to negotiate with its own founding members for jurisdiction over their Bluespace networks. In 2276, it unveiled the first of its own Trade Stations, back then still manually manned, which would later develop during the 25th century into the Automated Trade Stations that are now ubiquitous throughout the galaxy.

While the member list remains classified to this day, the presence of the Guild's stations around theirs has, at the very least, all but confirmed the participation of the NT-CC Consortium. The members of the Guild Board, however, are not classified. Historically they have had ties to everything from NanoTrasen to the United Soviet Socialist Planets, while in recent times they are aligned ever more frequently with the enigmatic Central Command.
