Shortly before The Phantom Menace, Nute Gunray became the viceroy of the Trade Federation. He was manipulated by Darth Sidious in The Phantom Menace. He allied the droid armies of the Trade Federation with the Confederacy of Independent Systems in Attack of the Clones.

The Trade Federation maintained a sizable monopoly on interstellar trade and held considerable sway in the Galactic Republic. In particular, they held maps of hyperspace routes closely rather than sharing them, enabling them to cement their hold over trade routes. Only the Jedi and the Office of the Chancellor were able to maintain maps of similar quality.

After the Clone Wars, what little remained of the Trade Federation's assets were seized by Emperor Palpatine to help build the Galactic Empire. Trade was nationalized by the time of the Battle of Yavin.
