Confederate States of Earth/Legends

"I stand before you as President of the Confederacy Jane Zarkan, elected representative of the people of the Confederate States of Earth, each state acting in her free and independent manner, I hereby renounce the allegiance and loyalty of each member state of the Confederacy to the Union government. We seek not war nor unbrotherly relations, all we ask if for the right to our own nation and permittance to govern ourselves. We wish for continued good relations with our former Union brothers, as good neighbours we were, but we are obliged to warn you that we will not allow you to conquer us, we do not wish to see such a tragedy occur. All we ask is to be left alone. God Save the Confederacy!"

- President of the Confederacy Jane Zarkan announcing the withdrawal of her nation from the Union

The Confederate States of Earth, also known as the Confederacy, "Con-feddies," and "Traitors," was a Separatist nation founded on the Solar System planet of Earth in 21 BBY due corruption within the Union.

It was led by Confederate President Jane Zarkan with an elected Confederate High Chancellor leading the governmental sections such as the Confederate Parliament. Jane's presidency consisted of the Confederate Cabinet—a body of the highest ranking officials who joined the Confederate States.

21 BBY—20 BBY: Separatist Alignment and War
In 21 BBY when Jane Zarkan, ruler of the Zarkan Empire and Kingdom, withdrew her people along with the other 58 states of the Traditionalist Faction from the Union and became the Confederate States, scouts of the Confederacy of Independent Systems had found and landed on Earth. This encounter led to the Confederate-Earth Treaty of Alliance and eventually led to the Earth Civil War, beginning with the First Battle of Earth over Union-controlled Warrington, Kalland.

The War between the Confederate States and Union went on for a year and a few months after its initial start. During the war, both sides were given warships, weapons, equipment and ground vehicles by their allies to use in their war. Several Venator-class Star Destroyers, originally given to the Union, were serving within the Confederate States Navy such as King Daniel IV—named after Jane's father.

19 BBY: Final Fronts of War
During the final campaigns of the Civil War against the Union, the Confederate grew within the year and began to push back against their corrupted neighbours with the assistance of their supplied warships and vehicles. Although the CIS and Galactic Republic were allies of one side each, they didn't deploy any of their armies. The Confederate States did have contingency fallout plans for if the Union or Republic ever happened to gained a huge victory over them, the contingency remained classified.

After the Republic was called away from the planet's affairs as well as the Confederacy, Jane launched a mission to capture the Union President Richard Williams which was successful and later used him as leverage over the Union to surrender. Following the capture of their President, the Confederate States had finally gotten the Union to surrender and since the Confederates held a lot more power than the Union, they were allowed to continue to operate as a government, but to give up its military power completely.

18 BBY: Fall of the Confederate States
Later in 18 BBY, the Galactic Empire—successor of the Galactic Republic—had learned of the planet after discovering data and information in the Jedi Temple's underground archives and invaded the local governments. During this time, the Union's new President Williams Crest sided the Union with the Empire and with it, they had gained major victory over the Confederacy. After this defeat, survivors—such as Jane Zarkan II—relocated to the planet of Mars where they stayed hidden for many years and started an alliance with former Union forces with them.

Confederate States Forces
Formed in 21 BBY alongside its government, the Confederates States Forces was founded out of the armies, navies and air forces of its member states.

Combined Forces of the Alliance
After the government's defeat in 18 BBY, those who relocated to Mars reorganized into the Combined Forces of the Alliance.
