The Traxus Division was part of the InterGalactic Banking Clan during the Clone Wars. During the war, the Traxus Divison ordered that interest rates be raised on the Galactic Republic. The order followed a threat made by Count Dooku to the Banking Clan's leader, Rush Clovis, saying that the Confederacy of Independent Systems would default on their loans—thus causing the banks to collapse—if Clovis did not follow the orders of the Separatists.
