The Bothan Trade Union was formed in 16 ABY on Bothawui by Ladro K'shan, a Bothan market speculator from Drev'starn. The BTU is the cover organization for Bothawui's growing criminal partnership. Composed of Bothans and non-Bothans alike the BTU operates in the capitol city of Drev'starn on Bothawui. Similar in structure to the Hutt cartels its members engage in every illegal activity imagined.
