Confederate States Army/Canon

"My army is highly skilled, trained and spirited, should Republic forces ever manage to land on my world, then my army will swiftly rout them!"

- Jane I to Count Dooku, on the ESFA

The Earth Separatist Faction Army (ESFA) was the ground forces of the Earth Separatist Faction (ESF), a Separatist-aligned faction which was pushing for Earth to join the Confederacy.

The ESFA was founded in 21 BBY, following Jane Zarkan founding the ESF, the Zarkan Imperial Army formed the bulk of the ESFA, as the Zarkan Empire was the original territory under ESF control.

As Jane Zarkan expanded her empire under Operation: Conqueress the ESFA grew to include recruits from the newly conquered territories from across Earth.

The ESFA would see only a little service in the First Battle of Earth, most of the fighting being done by the Earth Separatist Faction Navy, however ESFA forces would quickly rout the few Republic forces than managed to breakthrough the Separatist blockade and reach Earth, resulting in a Separatist decisive victory and the capture of Jedi General Maksi Hikar.

Following Earth's admittance into the CIS, the Earth Separatist Faction was reorganised as the Separatist Kingdom of Earth, the ESFA was renamed the "Separatist Kingdom of Earth Army", however the uniforms, equipment and ranks remained the same.
