	At the same time, they wanted to organize and sell their things at better prices. The organization started relatively small but by 2450 \
	it had become one of the biggest non-corporate conglomerates, with a significant amount of the merchants of the galaxy professing membership \
	in the FTU. At the same time, the Free Trade Union started to popularize tradeband in the galaxy as the language of business. Around 2500, \
	the majority of independent merchants were part of the FTU with significant influence on the galactic scale. They have started to invest in \
