Bank of Mezlagob

The Bank of Mezlagob was a financial institution on the planet Mezlagob, which backed the Tetrum of the Tetrarchy of Mezlagob until 214 BBY. In that year, it was undercut by the Vall`to Sector Bank, which convinced the Tetrarchs to back the Tetrum against itself instead. Following this humiliating decision, the Bank of Mezlagob remained an important local financial system on Mezlagob and its immediate neighbors, but held only a shadow of its former power.

The Bank experienced a very brief revival in the final months of the Great Liberation, when Vall`to was captured by the Golden Empire and the Vall`to Sector Bank deserted the Tetrarchy to back the Empire. The Bank of Mezlagob jumped at the opportunity to back the Tetrum again, but its wealth was so far reduced that inflation skyrocketed, causing the Tetrachy's economy to collapse. When the Tetrarchy fell completely, the Bank reverted to its private, local status.
