The Intergalactic Banking Clan (or IGBC) was one of the Republic's most influential commerce guilds. Based on the planet of Muunilinst in the Outer Rim, it was a union of the ruling Council of Banking Clans and several other banking powers. Officially a galactic Mega Corporation the Banking Clan was similar to the Trade Federation in that it ruled entire planets and acted as a legitimate governmental power. The Council of Banking Clans, or the Board of Directors, were the ruling government and placed ultimate power in the hands of the Clan Chairman and was represented in the Galactic Senate. The Banking Clan held a monopoly on all banking operations in the Outer Rim and even had branches on dozens of core planets including Coruscant. It had its own private military made of battle droids and the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Iotran_Guard]Iotran Guard[/url]. The droid army of the Banking Clan was made up of everything from B-1 battle droids to Trade Federation Droidekas. The Clan itself designed unique units such as Hailfire Droid tanks, IG-100 Magna Guards, IG lancer combat droids, and the Banking Clan Gun Platform.  

While the corporation was officially neutral in the Clone Wars, the Chairman San Hill signed the treaty that created the Confederation of Independent Systems and was present at the Battle of Geonosis. The Clan still conducted business in Republic space in a much more limited capacity and charged over 70% interest rates on Republic worlds. All of the Banking Clan's worlds signed the Secessionist Articles and were officially part of the Separatist Alliance. The Banking Clan was the second largest financial supplier of the CIS behind the Trade Federation. (Who had officially separated from the Republic) The IGBC waged war on the Republic throughout the entire conflict under the guise of "a Coalition of Independent Governments" allowing the corporation itself to hold its representation in the Galactic Senate. The only branches of the IGBC that were not actively supplying troops and star ships to the CIS were those on Coruscant and a few other core Republic worlds. The Senate, and Chancellor Palpatine himself, tried to abolish the IGBC's representation but was always turned down by their supporters in the senate. (Most of which were outer rim worlds that were not officially Separatist.) 

The IGBC supplied a large number of droids to the Separatist army and hired numerous generals to command their troops. This included a few Muun commanders as well as commanders from other alien species. The Banking Clan even had a hand in the creation of the Kaleesh General Grievous through the schemes of Chairman San Hill during the Huk wars on his home planet of Kalee. Other notable IGBC generals included Caar Damask, a middle ranking member of the clan and the administrator of Mygeeto, San Hill, the Chairman of the IGBC, Kendu Ultho, an [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aqualish/Legends]Aqualish[/url] mercenary, and Dask Gat, a member of the IGBC Board of Directors and apprentice of Count Dooku. 

The first battle in what became known as the Banking Clan Campaign during the Clone Wars was fought on the planet Ord Mantell between the occupying forces of Dask Gat, the Black Sun Pirates, a Mantellian resistance movement, and the men of the 417th Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic.

For ten years before the Battle of Geonosis the Intergalactic Banking Clan headquartered on the planet Muunilinst has been trying to spread their influence ever core-ward. One year ago they settled on the planet of Ord Mantell and set up a base of operations. The Clan and the local Black Sun Pirates began a battle for control of the planet. They have since built a large droid factory that produces designs from every major ally in the Confederacy of Independent Systems and have installed Dask Gat, a member of the Banking Clan Board of Directors and unofficial apprentice of Count Dooku, as a temporary planetary governor.  

The majority of the Ord Matellian population welcomed the Banking Clan with open arms as the planet has a long history of rebellion against the Republic. About a fifth of the planet's population, under the leadership of a human law enforcement officer named Dar Stochen, began a resistance movement against the Banking Clan about a month ago. As the Battle of Geonosis grew nearer the violence on the planet increased. The Resistance was unable to send for the help of the Jedi due to a planet-wide blockade. 

In the three weeks since the war started the Resistance has been pushed back to the city of Garrick, once an ancient fort of the Old Republic. Now not only the CIS droid army, but that of the Black Sun Pirates are fighting the Resistance. The Black Sun pirates have a large base on the planet which they have dubbed Ord Mantell City. 

Two days ago a small group of Resistance fighters were able to break through the Separatist blockade and make it to Coruscant. Troubled by what is happening on the planet, the Senate has sent the 417th to bring it back into Republic Hands. Both the Separatist and the Black Sun must be pushed off the planet.

When news reached the droid armies on other planets that the blockade of Ord Mantell had been broken, the CIS sent a large fleet to retake the planet. Consisting of multiple Dreadnoughts, the fleet outnumbered the 417th Navy substantially. What was once an easy battle for supremacy of the skies quickly became a fight for survival. The 417th Navy either held the line or they, and all the Republic forces on the ground, were dead.

After the disastrous counterattack on Fort Garrick by Separatist forces the 417th Legion was forced to retreat to their new headquarters on the planet. The deaths of Jedi Knight Vail Lencer and the command of the 99th Storm Battalion crippled the 417th's morale. Dask Gat and his droid army used this opportunity to attack the weakened clones at the captured facility the used as a base. Dar Stochen and his surviving Resistance fighters were merged into the clone forces. All personnel on the ground were to fall back to the HQ to defend against the advancing Separatist forces. The 417th was surrounded on all sides by seemingly infinite numbers of droids. The units sent to destroy Separatist jamming stations were still in the field and are unaware of the current situation.
