Galactic Credit Standard

The Galactic Credit Standard, also called Credits Standard, simply called a credit or cred, colloquially referred to as Republic Dataries, and later known as the Imperial Credit, was the main currency in the galaxy since the time of the Galactic Republic.

The Galactic Credit Standard was established on Sojourn. From its inception, the credit was backed by the immense natural resources of the planet Aargau, which was claimed by the InterGalactic Banking Clan (IGBC). During the Clone Wars, the IGBC provided loans and financial aid to both sides, as it would do again decades later for the New Republic and Imperial Remnant.

One tenth of a credit was a decicred.
