Count Dooku
''...The Confederate Chief-of-State understands better than anyone what has corrupted the Galactic Republic. People think he wants to run the whole galaxy, what with his war machine attacking Republic planets and killing Republic soldiers and Jedi Generals, but he cares about us more than the Republicans think. He knows that worlds want to run their own affairs, and that the ruthless Chancellor Palpatine has no intention of allowing the CIS worlds to cede from his Republic. He just wants freedom for all, and if it means he has no choice but to commit some bloodshed to do it, then so be it...''

Grievous and Ventress
''...Grievous, born Qymaen jai Sheelal, and Asajj Ventress, are perhaps the most misunderstood of all Separatist heroes. They're seen as little more than brutal killing machines. However, they each have tragic pasts most people are unaware of; the Jedi of the Republic supported Grievous' enemies in the war against the Huk, and they also apparently abandoned Ventress to the merciless ways of the Nightsisters. I see their maniacal violence as a way of showing the Jedi and the Republic how it feels to be hurt. The seemingly monstrous bounty hunter Durge, who sometimes partners with Ventress, and the mighty Chiss warrior Sev'rance Tann, seem to understand this, too, which may explain why they also fight against the Republic so relentlessly...''

Admiral Trench
''...This spider-like alien is a fleet commander after my own heart. He is a man of war, and he understands that merciless tactics are sometimes necessary in order to defeat the enemy in a war. He is a military genius, deserving of respect, even from his enemies, and logically, any side in wartime would want someone of his reputation on their side. As for his motives, he is not in the Clone War for money or power, but to proudly fight for his government, the Confederacy, his people, the Harch, and the Corporate Alliance. My research says he's in this war for patriotism, and freedom, not murder...''

Separatist Council
''...Now, on the surface, Nute Gunray, Shu Mai, Poggle the Lesser, and the other megacorporation conglomerates may look like they're only in the Confederacy for their own profits and coffers. However, while they themselves may be a bit greedy, they also stand up for lowering taxes and a stronger economy for their people, and Wat Tambor and the Techno Union provide more than enough technology for the survival and conveniences of the worlds that have ceded from the Republic. Even merchants can do some good for a galactic nation...''

Separatist Congress
''...The Separatist Parliament shows that, like the Republic, the CIS also practices the principles of democracy, only with little to no corruption; plus, some of its senators, especially one Mina Bonteri, have made some as-yet unsuccessful attempts to forge a peace treaty with the Republic. Unfortunately, there are still cowardly Republic senators who are too paranoid, too money-minded, or too pro-war to be interested in peace. In my eyes the more "brutal" aliens (and humans) of the Separatist Alliance have a lot more sense in them than some humans (and aliens) of the Galactic Republic whom I could name...''
