### Comment:
I got that, they were trying to make it like Hitler's rise to power, but why were Trade Federation going along with it.  
  
 Gunray had literally no benefit for following Palpatine's plan, and the dude got his ships blown up and arrested.

### REPLY:
My guess is that they were motivated by the possibility of monopoly power over galactic trade routes. Neimoidians, along with the Muuns, are, after all, Space Jews who wanted nothing more than to get more space shekels.
