Herdessan Guild

The Herdessan Guild was the organization that ruled the Mid Rim world of Herdessa during the era of the Galactic Civil War. Known for cruelty, excess, and for exploiting the planet's lower classes, the Herdessan Guild instituted a lucrative slaving operation in 4 ABY, unwittingly playing a role in a Nagai tactic to spread unrest and chaos in the galaxy ahead of a planned invasion. However, Alliance of Free Planets leader Leia Organa, along with a popular resistance movement, overthrew the Herdessan Guild and ended their slaving activities.
