Proposed and championed by the Merchants Guild, the Galactic Trade Accords unified the galaxy’s economic system under a single universal currency, the UGC, and established major interstellar trade routes and policies recognized by all empires. These accords formally acknowledged the Merchants Guild as a neutral economic authority, granting them independence from factional politics while entrusting them with the regulation and protection of galactic commerce. The result was a stable, interconnected economy overseen by a trusted third-party entity.
