The Buffton Trade Cartel is a multi-facet corporation which was founded by Maltez Buffton. Started in a small factory on Elrood, the company got it's start in droid and small transport manufacturing through the personal investment of then-infamous Bounty Hunter Maltez Buffton, his equally infamous brother Xavier Buffton, and their family wealth. Before the Rise of the Hutt Faction across the galaxy, the Trade Cartel became famously known for running supplies(legal and otherwise) along hyperspace routes to all reaches of Space. Maltez Buffton eventually retired his hunting ways to take full control of the company as well as joining the Galactic Senate as a representative for the Elrood System.
