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 Zarkan to Count Dooku, on the CSEA

The Confederate States of Earth Army (CSEA) was the ground forces of the Confederate States of Earth (CSE), a Separatist-aligned nation which was pushing for Earth to join the Confederacy.

The CSEA was founded in 21 BBY from the short-lived Provisional Confederate States Army (PCSA).

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

In 18 BBY the CSEA fought against the forces of the Galactic Empire and the Imperial puppet government, the Earth Empire, the CSEA was defeated.

Sep'ratist Soldier was the anthem of the CSEA.
