Exchange

The Exchange was a criminal organization active from around 4000 BBY to at least 3627 BBY, and possibly the most powerful of its time, that dealt in spice refinement and smuggling, extortion, weapon trafficking, slave trading, and bounty hunting. The organization was active on many planets and employed notorious bounty hunters such as Calo Nord. During the First Jedi Purge, it posted a huge bounty on live Jedi, large enough to purchase an entire planet. Three hundred years later, during the Cold War, the Exchange was engaged in a galaxy-spanning crime war with the Hutt Cartel, centering on Nar Shaddaa.
