One had to understand what the medieval guilds existed for and what they did, how long they lasted, and how they became obsolete in the first place.
The industries involved in these new Xenoan guilds would be very different from what was seen in the Terran medieval period.
For example, back in that period of history, guilds existed as a professional organization of blacksmiths, masons, carpenters, merchants, weavers, and so on.
It had to be noted that—for most cases—their power was localized, limited only in the markets that the guild specifically operated. Most big settlements of the time seemed to have their own versions of each guild, and their influence rarely went beyond their immediate regions.
Their function was to regulate standards, protect the quality of the work, protect the profession's and the professional's name and reputation, set prices, control competition between members, and so on.
