Separatist Intelligence

Separatist Intelligence, also called Confederate Intelligence and referred to by clone troopers as droid intelligence, was the intelligence apparatus of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Despite the nickname given to it by clones, Separatist Intelligence rarely used droids for it's operations, primarily relying on various hired agents. It was commanded by the Director of Intelligence, who answered to the Separatist Assembly.

History
Separatist Intelligence was conceived by Nute Gunray during the Invasion of Naboo, at which point he wished to get spies within the Naboo Royal Security Force. After the invasion failed, he ordered work for it to be formed to immediately begin, by the Trade Federation. The early organization was known as the Federation Intelligence Directorate.

As the Clone Wars broke out in 22 BBY, the Confederacy reformed and expanded the organization, officially known as Separatist Intelligence. The first director was Sakura Namada, a Twi'lek who had earlier worked for the Corporate Alliance. It created a large network of spies and informants during the conflict, even bribing a number of clone troopers within the Grand Army of the Republic, and members of the Senate Guard. One such spy was a Kubaz known as Orlock.

After the conflict ended with Order 66 and the Declaration of the New Order, Separatist Intelligence was disbanded with the rest of the Confederacy, however, many assets continued to work, for the Imperial Intelligence and the Imperial Security Bureau. Sakura Namada, the former director, was executed later after working as an Intelligence lieutenant in 1 ABY for spying for the Alliance to Restore the Republic

Organization
Separatist Intelligence was split into several directorates, each headed by a general who answered to the Director, the overall head of the organization. Several special forces units were subservient to Intelligence as well.
