Confederacy Of Independent Systems

The Confederacy of Independent Systems, abbreviated to CIS, and also known as the Separatist Alliance, the Separatist State, or simply the Separatists, is a secessionist government formed by thousands of star systems from the Mid Rim to the Outer Rim that broke away from the Galactic Republic. The Confederacy was founded on the grounds of excessive taxation and corruption within the Galactic Senate and general feeling of dissatisfaction towards and neglect by the Core Worlds, which contained some of the wealthiest and most prestigious planets in the galaxy.

Formation
The Confederacy is led by the former Jedi Count Dooku of Serrano, who serves as its Head of State. The CIS is a coalition of hundreds of planets (mostly those situated in the outer-rim) that rebelled and wanted to succession from the Galactic Republic. Including but not limited to Planet Geonosis, Planet Onduran, Planet Kalee, Planet Thule, Planet Raxus Secundus, Planet Cato Neimoidia, and Planet Skjope (formerly before joining the Galactic Communist Alliance)Also including several systems of at least 7 planets within one system, this Equates to this faction's name. There are at least 18 or 19 Systems that in the CIS. In addition, the Confederacy was secretly supported by several corporations, including the Trade Federation, headed by Viceroy Nute Gunray; the InterGalactic Banking Cla, headed by Chairman San Hill; the Techno Union, headed by Foreman Wat Tambor; the Commerce Guild, headed by Presidente Shu Mai; the Corporate Alliance, headed by Magistrate Passel Argente; and the Retail Caucus.

The Separatist Crisis that began in 4 BBG which led to a political crisis in which tensions escalated between the newly-formed Confederacy and the reigning Republic. In 0BBG, the Confederacy and the Republic went to war using their respective military forces—the droid army and the Republic clone army—resulting in a pan-galactic conflict for the first time in a millennium. Additionally the CIS adopted a military system unlike any other previously seen, the saw the dangers of War and decided that using "living people" to fight would lead to just death and suffering, so to recieve support the CIS agreed and funded a Droid Army entirely lead by operated Artificial Intelligence as this was seen as more moral, however although 90% of the CIS military was comprised of Droids. There were sub-factions within the CIS that had their own fighting force such as the Numodian Army, the Umbaran Army, the Geonosian Army and the Skjopian Army (before the Skjopians joined the Galactic Communist Alliance).
