"I used to, uh, work for the Guild of Compassionate Merchants on Wroona. Can you believe they actually called themselves that? Turns out they weren't so compassionate when they discovered I'd been siphoning away funds for years."
―Sestin[1]

The Guild of Compassionate Merchants was an organization in the galaxy during the High Republic Era.[1] Until around 244 BBY,[2] the Twi'lek Sestin Blin worked for the Guild on Wroona. Sestin had been embezzling funds from the Guild for years and was eventually caught. Sestin went on the run, and the Guild hired an enforcer to hunt her down. She killed the enforcer and was arrested for the death.[1]
