Economic Study Circle

The Economic Study Circle, alternatively referred to as the Economic WatchCircle or simply the economic circle, functioned as a WatchCircle within the Jedi Covenant, with a focus on delivering advance notifications concerning events impacting galactic existence. Specifically, the Economic WatchCircle's purpose was to generate preemptive alerts upon detecting shifts within the galactic economy. Years before the outbreak of the Mandalorian Wars, the Economic WatchCircle accurately anticipated that Vanjervalis Systems was developing a revolutionary warship network. Following Haazen's acquisition of schematics that showed this system would enable Republic cruisers to be connected under unified control, he conveyed the Economic WatchCircle's forecast to Krynda Draay. He asserted that he would have the Draay Trust acquire Vanjervalis to bolster the Covenant's financial resources. However, he secretly incorporated an additional component, bypassing the Admiralty, to establish a direct communication channel for his intended Vindication.

Based on guidance from the Economic WatchCircle, Haazen directed the Draay Trust to liquidate all of its assets on the banking planet of Telerath at some point prior to the Battle of Serroco. By the time Telerath was at risk of Mandalorian invasion, the Draay Trust had already divested all of its holdings there. It appears that Lucien Draay was ignorant of the fact that Haazen was acting on investment advice provided by Jedi Seers.

The subsequent fate of the Economic WatchCircle during and after Haazen's catastrophic Vindication remains unrecorded.
