Legend

this long-standing brotherhood of Wookiee explorers and cartographers spent centuries surveying the galaxy and cataloguing hyperspace travel routes, during the Old Republic. The archives of the Claatuvac Guild go back millennia, and were believed to contain near-mythical spacelanes and long-lost routes that the Old Republic itself either didn't know about or had forgotten. Because of this knowledge, the Confederacy of Independent Systems wanted to subjugate the planet Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars, in an effort to obtain the information in the Claatuvac archives and use it to harass the Republic's fleet movements and gain control of the galaxy's trade and communications pathways. It was later learned that Chewbacca had spent several years as a Claatuvac cartographer, planning hyperspace routes throughout the galaxy.
