The **Far Tech Alliance** (**FTA**) was a commerce guild and trade conglomerate that was comprised of various technology corporations. Founded during the High Republic Era, it rose to prosperity in the Outer Rim Territories and became embroiled in a power struggle with the Galactic Republic that waged on for decades as the Alliance grew in size, prestige, and power under the Zygnostian species. Ultimately, the Alliance's influence began to grow in the waning years of the Republic, and as such, it had its own representatives in the Galactic Senate. However, a number of that influence was earned by exclusive contracts that the Far Tech Alliance would often force upon numerous worlds, which gave them the ability to blockade planets and levy taxes for safe passage. Following the Clone Wars, the Alliance struggled to remain in existence until it received backing from the United Front, therefore, it was able to resume operations in vestigial form. After the fragmentation of the United Front in 2 BBY, the Alliance lost its safeguard and it was dissolved soon after.

Prior to the Separatist Crisis, Senator Meeko Shrike was anointed as the new President of the Far Tech Alliance. While secretly conspiring with Count Dooku at the start of the Clone Wars, Shrike was sentenced to treason and hunted down by the Republic. However, Shrike was welcomed into Dooku's entourage and he pledged the Alliance's support to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As a result, the Alliance's forces fought the Republic Military and the Jedi Order throughout the Clone Wars, although, Senator Pad Than kept denying claims of the Alliance backing Dooku's Separatists, always asserting its corporate neutrality. By the time of the war, the Alliance held major authority in the Anzat sector, frequently exercising its influence in the affairs of the government of Zygnost. In the end, Shrike and the other Separatist Council members were betrayed by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who sent his apprentice, Darth Vader, to kill them all.

After Shrike's death, his lieutenant, Koren Lim, was made the new President. During the early years of the Galactic Empire, Lim struggled to regain corporate authority. However, with the foundation of the United Front, the Alliance once again pledged its limited remaining resources to Grand Leader Darth Midous. Ultimately, the Far Tech Alliance was dissolved after the Union's defeat and fragmentation to the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 2 BBY.
