Confederacy of Independent Systems

The Confederacy of Indepedent Systems(CIS for short) was a separatist movement lead by Darth Tyrannus (Although the de-facto head of state was Darth Sidious) who had motives to leave the Galactic Republic. Their were numerous reasons planets joined the Confederacy, some were frusterated about corrupt the Republic had become, others left the Republic because the Republic failed to help them in war aftermaths's, famines or other disasters. But the Seperatists did help those planets recover, grateful for their help, the planet always swore loyalty to the Confederacy.

Army
The Confederate army was mostly made up of Battle Droids that were commanded by a commander droid, who served under a living commander. Native armies from planets the Condederacy controlled were also happy to help the the droids in certain battles, some of them were just as good as the Republic Clone Troopers. The Generals of the Confederacy were proud of their robotic troops who won many battles durring the war, although the incompetence of some of the droids also lead to defeats. The most brilliant commander was General Greivous who could weild 4 lightsabers at a time, slaying many Jedi durring the war.

Navy
The Confederate Navy was a force to be reckoned with and had many powerful ships. The Providence-class carrier/destroyer was the largest ans most powerful ship in the CIA's arssenel. They were the command ships of the navy and the most famous one was The Invisible Hand, Greivouses personel flagship. Other large ships included the Munificent-class star frigate, and the ''Lucrehulk-class battleship. ''The most notable star figher was the Droid Starfighter.

Politics
The Confederacy had a head of state and civillian parliment. But it was mostly ruled by corrupt buisnessmen. As a result the Confederacy comitted numerous war-crimes such as slavery and environmental disasters and civillian casualties. The CIS also relied on slavery to fuel the economy. Most confederate civillians were unaware of the war-crimes commited by their government due to brilliant propoganda and the good wellfare the CIS gave to it's own people. The CIS had a mostly alien population due to the belief that the Galactic Republic made aliens second-class citizens and gave more rights to humans. Ironiclly when the Galactic Empire rose to power, it enlisted in all of those xenophobic policies when Darth Vader executed the CIS leaders. When the Galactic Civil War began, many surviving generals and senators of the CIS joined the Rebel Alliance. As a result much of the early Rebel fleet was made of CIS ships.
