Clone Wars (free-edit)

The Clone Wars (22 BBY–19 BBY) was a major conflict which took place across the entire galaxy.

The war was regarded by some as the largest and most devastating war since the formation of the Galactic Republic. It was preceded by the so-called Separatist Crisis, which saw numerous corporations detach from the Republic to create an organization which better suited their economic and commercial needs, dubbed the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Many senators and world leaders have also joined the Confederacy because they saw the Republic becoming corrupt, and dominated by the minority rather than the majority. In addition, many did not trust the Supreme Chancellor, or the Jedi Order.

Apart from traditional armies, both sides had Force-wielding cults at their disposal: the Jedi Order supported the Republic, while the Confederacy of Independent Systems had the Order of the Sith Lords controlling it from the shadows, with the infamous Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.

Other factions
Many who broke away from the Galactic Republic also refused to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems; they remained as their own faction, hiding out against the Republic. This faction had a loose treaty and became known as the Republic Rebellion Alliance. Eventually, they reluctantly joined the Confederacy, but they soon regretted it once the Separatists lost the war, although if they had not, they would have been worse off, because they would have been classed as unorganized transients.

Also, when the Confederacy of Independent Systems was dissolved in 19 BBY, many of its commanders refused to execute Darth Vader's order to deactivate all battle droids, and put up a loose resistance. Most of these pockets was cleared up by the newly-born Galactic Empire, and the survivors joined the Rebel Alliance.

The only larger remnant was centered around Muunilinst, Kalee, Yaga Minor and Bastion. Its leader, Vicelord Avenko Ti destroyed the Imperial task force sent for his submission in 19 BBY, and started to re-organize his remaining forces. He also saw that his forces are far from adequate, so he planned a secret retreat. To be able to fulfill this objective, he raided Corellia in 18 BBY and stole Centerpoint Station, an ancient space station capable of moving entire planets, in hyperspace. Following this action, he used the station to retreat some of his planets and all of his forces into the Unknown Regions, where he renamed his faction the Second Confederation and settled on the planets located west of Ilum.
