InterGalactic Banking Clan

The InterGalactic Banking Clan, also known as the IGBC or IBC, was a commerce guild that was the most vast bussines conglomerate in the galaxy. The IGBC secretly pledged their support to the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the opening of the Clone War. While IGBC was truly neutral, it's leadership had offcially sided with the Separatists. Republic forces led by legendary Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi invaded the IGBC's planet of Muunilinst and sieged the capital city, that housed foundries in which Separatist ships were manufactured. While the IGBC Separatist leaders including Chairman San Hill, a few Muun bankers and an unidentified Neimoidian oversaw the battle occuring at the city's borders and in the streets, while Separatist droid forces, consisting of red B1 battle droids, B2 super battle droids and Hailfire-class droids, defended against the Republic Clone Trooper battalions, cannons and All Terrain Tactical Enforcers. What prevented incoming Republic reinforcements, was a a huge cannon that shot ships in the planet's orbit. Kenobi had sent in secret an ARC Trooper squad known as Muunilinst 10 to destroy the cannon, in which they suceeded, alarming the cowardly IGBC leaders. Separatist Head of State Count Dooku had sent a menacing bounty hunter and famous Jedi killer, a being who survived hundreds o years, only known as Durge, to help the IGBC leaders if the Republic might win. Once one of the Muuns informed Hill of the losses and the destruction of the cannon, Durge exited the building and led an army of IG lancer combat droids against the advancing Republic troops. Durge's droids managed to destroy most of the Republic cannons and kill the Clone Troopers who had came to near the city, but their victory was short lived, for Kenobi came up with a plan in which all of the IGBC Separatist droid forces were destroyed and Durge apparently died. The Muunilinst 10 and Master Kenobi then entered the command center and eliminated the Droidekas and B1s protecting the IGBC leaders. However, before they had the chance to arrest them and as Hill begged the Jedi Master to have mercy and to accept his surrenders, Durge arrived, flying through the glass, before being shot down by the Muunilinst 10 and some other clones. Durge however reappeared and began killing the Clone Troopers, until Kenobi destroyed him from the inside. Much later however, Master Kenobi will realise that that will not be his last encounter with the menacing Gen'dai bounty hunter. The Republic then took the IGBC leaders prisoners and left with them.
