Confederacy of Independent Systems

The Confederacy of Indepedent Systems (CIS for short), also known as the Separatist Alliance or the Separatists, was a separatist movement lead by Darth Tyranus (Although the de-facto head of state was Darth Sidious) who had motives to leave the Galactic Republic.

There were numerous reasons planets who joined the Confederacy, some were frustrated about corrupt the Republic had become, others left the Republic because the Republic failed to help them in war aftermaths, famines or other disasters. But the Seperatists did help those planets recover, grateful for their help, so 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 during the war, although the incompetence of some of the droids also lead to defeats. The most brilliant commander was General Greivous who could wield four lightsabers at a time, slaying many Jedi during 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 arsenal. They were the command ships of the navy and the most notable one was The Invisible Hand, Grievous' personal flagship. Other large ships included the Munificent-class star frigate, and the Lucrehulk-class battleship.

The greatest secret of the CIS is that they created the idea and blueprints of the Death Star.

Politics
The Confederacy had a head of state and civilian parliment. But it was mostly ruled by corrupt buisnessmen. As a result the Confederacy comitted numerous war-crimes such as environmental disasters and civilian casualties. The CIS also relied on slavery to fuel the economy. Most confederate civilians 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. Ironically 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.
