The Confederacy of Independent Systems, abbreviated to CIS, and otherwise known as the Separatist Alliance, the Separatist State, the Separatist Confederacy, the Separatist coalition, or simply referred to as the Separatists, was a confederation with limited recognition of outlying star systems in the galaxy that had declared independence from the Galactic Republic, a democratic union, and had its capital on the planet Raxus Secundus in the Outer Rim. Secession could be traced back to the Raxus Address by former Jedi Master Count Dooku of Serenno, from a belief of excessive taxation and corruption within the Galactic Senate, as well as a general feeling of dissatisfaction towards the neglect by the Republic-centric Core Worlds. Furthermore, the Confederacy was secretly supported by several major galactic corporations which formed the executive council, while a parliament of senators become its civilian legislature.

Thousands of disgruntled star systems seceded from the Republic and joined together in the newly-created Confederacy of Independent Systems, born from a galaxy-wide secessionist movement orchestrated by the Count of Serenno Dooku. By 24 BBY, it had become a political crisis which led to escalating tensions between the Republic and the rising Confederacy. Many within the Confederacy, including its senators, had no desire in fighting their adversaries, as they sought to be free of what they saw as the corruption and tyranny of the Republic. The Confederacy was supported by the Trade Federation, led by Viceroy Nute Gunray; the Stalgasin hive, led by Archduke Poggle the Lesser; the InterGalactic Banking Clan, headed by Chairman San Hill; the Techno Union, led by Foreman Wat Tambor; the Commerce Guild, led by Presidente Shu Mai; the Corporate Alliance, led by Magistrate Passel Argente; and the Retail Caucus. However, in 22 BBY, both governments and their respective military forces became enmeshed in the pan-galactic Clone Wars, the first major conflict in a millennium, after the conflict exploded into being on the Confederacy's first capital world, Geonosis.

By the third year of the war, the Confederacy had suffered several major defeats in the Outer Rim Sieges as the conflict began to approach its end, while losing many starships in the decisive Battle of Coruscant, which also resulted in the death of Dooku. In the days following their defeat at Coruscant, General Grievous was neutralized on the planet Utapau, leading to the collapse of the Separatist leadership, and the fighting effectively coming to an end.

Following both the Jedi's demise and rise of the Galactic Empire, Viceroy Nute Gunray and the other surviving leaders gathered on the planet Mustafar with hopes of securing peace with the newly rising Empire ruled by Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine. However he sent his new apprentice Darth Vader to wipe out them and deactivate the Separatist Droid Army as a threat to his Empire.

With the end of the Clone Wars, the newly-formed Galactic Empire as the successor to the Old Republic, reintergrated former Separatists worlds into the Empire, with only several holdouts daring to resist the Empire, which were suppressed. But an idealized view of the cause persisted during the Imperial Era, with some still holding secessionist tendencies, even into the New Republic Era.

  • When I was unemployed I had a ton of free time but I felt that something was missing, and I was anxious about not having a job. Now that I am employed, my free time has been reduced by a ton and I miss being unemployed. Shits weird

  • Bowling alley I’m at is playing uncensored 2002 era Eminem greatest hits lol

    It’s also proudly showing off their little bowling pin characters in the strike animations. They gave tits to the female ones because of fucking course they did. This implies that bowling pin milk exists in their universe and now I wish nothing but ceaseless torment upon their character designers

  • liberal protests are very interesting. it was very effective to make them feel like they had some agency in life over the ruling class by doing gestures that don't actually affect change.

    I've been following the Infinity Nikki drama, where players are mad at the game for introducing some anti-consumer practices. It's not a very shocking thing to happen, as it's 1. a gacha, 2. targetted at women. The company that makes it basically has a monopoly on gacha games targetted at women, so they can be as shitty to their playerbase as they want. Anyway, aside from bitching online, the players also are boycotting purchases in it (which, we all know how effective "voting with your wallet is). Obviously this did not get a good enough response from the company's PR. So the protestors have a new plan, which was not to play the game.

    For a singular day.

    Not a week, not a month, not until their demands are met. A single day.

  • Every time I start to get into a flow while working I have to go and take a shit. I wonder if I've "pavlov'd" this behavior into myself by slacking off at work.

  • Sinners was fun. I have conflicting interpretations of the vamps. The obvious being a colonizing/assimilating force, and another being a fear of "collectivism" in contrast to the bootstrap-pulling protagonists.

  • My work had a flyer taped to the door this morning saying 'restaurant work is fucked, start a union' and a QR code. Over half the kitchen staff are on work visas.

  • Haha I have biceps and sixpack abs for the first time in years now, just from working as a stocker for the past few months

    Body by retail, lmao

  • "Wishing Sleepy Joe the best of luck in his battle against terrible cancer! Here's one fight I hope he DOESN'T lose!!"

  • 'socialism with american characteristics' where if a service employee messes up your order or makes you irritated or even if you just happen to be irritated while talking to one you can denounce them as a counter-revolutionary and they get sent to a reeducation camp

  • I was the first one in my village to listen to Chapo which explains my terrible political analysis, but then in 2020 I took the china pill, became third-worldist and denounced Bernie Sanders as Hitler from Vermont.

    Haven't been wrong since.

  • for some reason the admin of solarpunk has had a crash out for 2 day and has become the biggest defender of feddit's pro-israel policy, he is been claiming that they are just following orders, the palestine people are pro-genocide and other silly and fascist stuff

    for example

    • rhodesia and apartheid south africa still exist
    • river to the sea is a genocide slogan
    • you cant compared the nazis to other fascists

    here is there account nerds i think it has potencial as a popular c/slop post if you take screenshots from their comments

  • This Nuggets-Thunder series has felt like an underdog doing a valiant job pulling out every stop to stay alive against a juggernaut, but it looks like they're finally being overwhelmed.

  • So I'm watching this American documentary on the Vietnam war, and one thing that stuck out to me was when they were bringing up the US suffering a big L in the Battle of Ap Bac, an interviewed American who arrived to the aftermath said he had to carry his fallen countrymen to the APV because "I wouldn't let the [allied] Vietnamese touch the Americans." They just like, put that statement in the documentary with sad music playing and no further comment

  • My dad talks to the cats with the same voice he used to talk to use when we were little, he still loves us dearly and tells it to us idk I just love my dad for that. My mom is a bit more reserved with emotions but I know she does love us all the same.

  • worst phase of skyrim loadbuilding is cities, there's lots of good options but they're so wildly different and few people have brought their design philosophy to every city. and those that have tend to give the fewest fucks about npc pathing and quest compatibility

  • Sports must be a lot better in the Star Trek universe. Just run a re-generator over an injury and an athlete can get back up and play hard and physical again.
