Greedo kills a Banking Clan guard during his mission to kidnap a Givin codebreaker. However, Jabba the Hutt came to learn of the Givin and desired to kidnap him to help his smuggling operations, so he hired the veteran bounty hunter Greedo to lead a team to Mygeeto to capture the Givin. The Clan's Vice Chairman, the Muun Anolo-who resided on Mygeeto and had come into possession of Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber, which the Jedi General had dropped after being killed-plotted to wage a subtle trade war with the Hutts for the control of their smuggling routes, hiring a Givin codebreaker to advise them on what moves to make the Givin's brain was linked to the Imperial algorithm that generated security codes. Having survived the Clone Wars, the Banking Clan continued to do business into the reign of the Galactic Empire, although found itself in a competition with the Hutt Clan known as the trade wars. Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi was dispatched in reaction, leading the 21st Nova Corps against the battle droids until he was executed by his own clone troopers during Order 66. Despite the Republic control of the banks, the Muunilinst Banking Clan under San Hill continued to support the Confederacy and became entrenched on their stronghold of Mygeeto. Unbeknownst to everyone, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's was but the alter-ego of Darth Sidious, who gained more political power in time for his eventual galactic takeover. The Republic then countered by invading Scipio, bringing the banks into the control of the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Because he was only able to reach the position with help from Dooku, Clovis was forced to raise rates on the Republic and respect a Separatist military presence on Scipio. Īfter Amidala was able to recover the evidence and return it to Coruscant, Clovis was then chosen to be the next head of the banks. After Senator Padmé Amidala traveled to Scipio to secure aid for civilians displaced by the war, she was informed of a scheme by the Core Five to steal from each bank account from an old romantic partner, Senator Rush Clovis. However, Count Dooku moved to topple the Core Five to ensure his Sith Master, Darth Sidious, could take control of the banks. Much of the corruption was pro-Confederacy, with the Core Five allowing the Separatists to take money out without interest. It's just a dishonest few who are destroying everything for their own gain." ―Rush Clovis Īt least in part due to their alliance with the Separatists, who failed to pay back their loans and the interest on them out of concern for the corruption present amongst the Core Five, the Banking Clan was at the verge of bankruptcy as the Clone Wars neared its close. By working with both sides, it was seen as a neutral party. However, the Banking Clan continued to conduct business with the Republic during the Clone Wars, though at exorbitant interest rates. During the Separatist Crisis, the organization joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and its chairman, San Hill, was given a place on the Separatist Council. This was to ensure the Republic's money remained stable. Since it left the aurodium standard, the Republic partnered with major banks, including the Banking Clan, to keep a credit reserve. Until entrepreneurs from the Core planet of Corulag intervened, Eriadu risked becoming a client world to the bankers because of their growing debts. However, hyperspace travel from their location to the Core Worlds required use of hyperspace beacons and reversions to realspace, meaning ore shipments were often delayed or lost. During the time after the fall of the Old Republic and rise of the Galactic Republic, the settlers of the world of Eriadu lacked the funds needed for mining, processing, and shipping lommite ore, so they were forced to get high-interest loans from the Banking Clan.
