Two years before the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems was born when former Jedi Dooku broadcast a searing indictment against the Republic’s morals and the complacency of the Jedi. The CIS initially resembled a movement rather than a government. The core of their power lay not in a ruling council but in their random military forces provided by corporations, sector defense fleets, and the militias of individual star systems. Many battles during the Clone Wars were not fought between droid armies and clone troopers but between organic soldiers, with both sides wearing identical uniforms. Their transformation began when General Grievous assumed command of Separatist forces. Under his leadership, the fragmented militias, commercial factions, and ragtag fleets were organized into a single military structure. Through his strategic genius, Grievous orchestrated a massive military buildup and then launched the organized Separatist military on a relentless campaign deep into Republic territory.
