The Coruscant Merchants' Guild, a collective of merchants, existed as early as 11,987 BBY, taking its designation from Coruscant, the Core Worlds planet serving as the galactic capital. Contispex I, a man originating from Coruscant, initially gained recognition through his involvement with the Coruscant Merchants' Guild before ascending to the position of Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic in 11,987 BBY. Within the Guild, he became well-known for his stance against corruption and individuals lacking his ethical principles, alongside his strong commitment to the Pius Dea faith, which had emerged on Coruscant in the centuries preceding 11,987 BBY.
Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart mentioned the Coruscant Merchants' Guild in their 2012 publication, The Essential Guide to Warfare.
