Geocache Description:

Small tube able to hold Geocoins and possibly SMALL TB's.

The business near this cache does bookeeping for several trucking companies, thus the Trade Federation connection.
I've upped the difficulty a bit as the camo seems to be better than I realized.


The Galactic Republic had enjoyed centuries of growth and prosperity; it was inevitable that its wealth would foster those with greed to match. The varied instruments of trade and commerce banded together into galaxy-spanning organizations meant to aggrandize their profits. Coalitions such as the Trade Federation, Commerce Guild, Techno Union, and the Intergalactic Banking Clan consolidated their individual markets under governing bodies of such size that they exhibited pull on the actions of the Galactic Senate.
The Trade Federation was a consortium of merchants and transportation providers that effectively controlled shipping throughout the galaxy. It was founded more than 350 years before the Battle of Yavin by the leading transport and mercantile forces of the era. It wasn't always under the auspices of the Neimoidians, but that species' cutthroat business acumen and competitive nature earned a position of control over the Executive Board Directorate. Under their rule, the Trade Federation it had attained enough clout to have full representation in the Galactic Senate, as if it were a member world.
The Neimoidians would point to increased piracy in the wilds of the Outer Rim as just cause for arming their vessels. With their political clout -- and unabashed bribery of key Senate officials -- they were able to legally affix laser cannons and similar weaponry on their transport vessels. The promise of a sizable "donation" caused many a weapons inspector to look the other way. The Neimoidians were able to build a fleet of battleships at a brisk pace.
This cache was placed by a member of UTAG.
