Homeworld: Castell Species: Gossam Gender: Female Affiliation: Commerce Guild, Confederacy of Independent Systems

The savvy businessbeing knows how to stay afloat in turbulent economic times, and how to spin social hardships into record revenue. Scruples get traded for profits among the leading corporate bodies, and the Commerce Guild is no different. Presidente Shu Mai was present in the Geonosis conference room when Count Dooku proposed that his Confederacy of Independent Systems would be committed to capitalism and free trade.

Shu Mai was prudent enough to identify Dooku's tactics as treason, and pledged her support only in secret. Though the Commerce Guild didn't openly back the Separatists, its spider-like combat automata joined the fight against the Republic at the first battle of the Clone Wars.

During the Clone Wars, Mai served on the Separatist Council, the board of executives that funded and governed the Confederacy of Independent Systems under Count Dooku and General Grievous. She was killed by Darth Vader when the Sith mastermind behind the Clone Wars no longer had need for the Separatists.
