Cygnusian Civil War

The Cygnusian Civil War was fought between the Cygnus Star Empire (who governed the Cygnusia territory along the Oktos Route) and Cygnusian Separatists in the time surrounding the Clone Wars. The Cygnusian Separatists, supplemented by mercenary companies and an army of B1 battle droids, sought to overthrow the monarchy and join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. As the Cygnusian government was not a member of the Galactic Republic, Republic forces were not involved in the civil war. The conflict dragged on into the height of the Imperial era, during which time the Galactic Empire helped Cygnusia defeat the Separatist rebels; the Galactic Empire later turned on their partnership and dismantled the Cygnus Star Empire, replacing it with the Imperial Occupational Territory of Cygnusia. By the civil war's end in around 10 BBY, more than 300,000 Cygnusians were killed in battle.
