The Trade Federation Occupation Council, also known as just the Occupation Council, was a committee of the Trade Federation installed by the megacorporation to oversee the planet Naboo during its invasion.
History
The Trade Federation Occupation Council was a committee comprised several high-ranking Neimoidians, including Viceroy Nute Gunray and his lieutenant Rune Haako, Viff Almay, Zill Kartay, Kund Ekorr and Hap Brehg. The Occupation Council was focused on maintaining control of Theed and the Federation's occupation of Naboo as a whole, temporarily taking the place of the Naboo Royal Advisory Council while negotiations were intented to occur on the planet future.
When Queen Amidala and her staff confronted Gunray in the royal palace, four members of the Occupation Council were in attendance. It was later arrested and sent to Coruscant for trial when Amidala forced Gunray to sign a treaty, effectively ending the Federation's occupation of the planet.
