Confederacy of Independent Systems (Exiled)

"I knew General Grievous was acting weird. I could sense it. During the Battle of Utapau, I snuck into Grievous' quarters and stumbled across a recording. Lord Sidious had betrayed us. So we sent some aides to replace most of us on Mustafar. Sadly, half of us weren't aides."- Nute Gunray (CISE)

'''The Confederacy of Independent Systems (Exiled) were formed around the formation of the Galactic Empire.

History
On Utapau, Grievous had ordered the old Confederacy to hide on Mustafar. Viceroy Nute Gunray (CISE) did not trust Grievous. He stumbled across a recording of Darth Sidious saying Nute and the others were going to die. Nute warned the others not to go. They agreed and thought up a master plan.

A Master Plan
Nute Gunray told his companions to take their aides, sans Rune Haako, and dress them up like them. However San Hill and Poggle had no comparisons so they had to sacrifice their freedom. The survivors included Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, Wat Tambor, Shu Mai, Passel Argente, Po Nudo, and Tikkes lived to fight another day.

Mission to Mustafar
On Mustafar, Rute Gunnay, disguised as Nute, led the operation. When Anakin Skywalker arrived, the imposters were killed in the following order: Denaria Kee and Twin Kee, Cat Miin and Qhi Zhu, Po Nudo's aides, Wat Tambor's aide, Rute Gunnay and Lott Dod, and even San Hill and Poggle the Lesser who had no fakes.

New Confederacy
After the plan worked, the Separatist Leaders went to Mon Calamari to form a new leadership. They started with Viceroy Aneem and then to Foop Sr., Lowtek, Utaalk, Luam Yar Rekrap, Rogur Ceel, Ree-Sees, Fissam the Lesser, and Rune Haako's brother Auhkem Haako.

Protection
Since their droid armies had been deactivated, Viceroy Aneem hired new protection. Bnun Nein organized some new recruits and the CISE went on to try to suceed.
