The Retail Caucus, also known as the Retail Clan, was a conglomerate of hundreds of corporations that specialized in creating commercial goods for public consumption. When the Retail Caucus came into the Confederacy of Independent Systems, it also brought with it its own private droid army, adding its distinctive battle droids into the swelling ranks of the military commanded by General Grievous. Retail Caucus droids were towering brutes with barrel shaped bodies and spindly limbs. Each of two short arms terminated in a pair of laser cannons.
