Shu Mai was a female Gossam who served as Presidente of the Commerce Guild during the final years of the Galactic Republic.[1] During the Separatist Crisis, she attended a meeting with Count Dooku and the heads of other noted corporate holdings on Geonosis to discuss joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[4] Though Mai showed misgivings about the situation, stating that the proposal could be viewed as treason, she was the only one to do so and ultimately pledged the forces of the Commerce Guild to the Separatist cause and gained a seat on the Separatist Council as a result.[1] She and the entire Council were slaughtered by Darth Vader on Mustafar when he visited the planet following the end of the Clone Wars.[2]
