Claatuvac Guild
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Claatuvac Guild was a group of Wookiee cartographers and navigators based out of the city of Kachirho on Kashyyyk. They were responsible for discovering the other bodies of the Kashyyyk system, including Alaris Prime, before the Galactic Republic reached it. The Guild maintained a base in Tree Vikkilynn; a sealed vault contained the guild's navigation data center, powered independently by a generator. The vault included data input and analysis stations as well as data stacks with info stored in indigenously manufactured HoloGrids.
By 19 BBY, Gumbaeki was the Master of the Guild, with Chak as an apprentice. In the last days of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces launched an assault on Kachirho in order to capture the Claatuvac archives and discover information on previously unknown hyperspace routes. The routes would highly benefit the Confederacy of Independent Systems, especially the Trade Federation, in their conquest for galactic control.
