Separatist Alliance

The Separatist Alliance, also known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems or Separatist State, was a political breakaway from the Galactic Republic formed in 24 BBY following the Raxus Address by Count Dooku. The Alliance consisted of thousands of Star Systems, spanning from the Mid to Outer Rims, most of which had grown discontent with the state of the Galactic Republic and the Senate. The Separatist Alliance was also secretly supported by numerous Guilds and Corporate Monoplies in the Galaxy, including the Trade Federation, Corporate Alliance, Techno Union, Trade Federation, and the InterGalactic Banking Clan, all of which either supplied war material at a drastically lower cost or funds for the Separatist Military.
