The Continued Clone Wars also known as the Continued Separatist Wars were a series of conflicts fought by various separatist terrorist organisations and remnants of the Confederacy of Independent Systems who continued to fight against the Galactic Republics successor the Galactic Empire, despite the dissolution of the CIS with the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant which officially ended the conflict.
The Imperial Security Bureau monitored and apprehended a variety of threats to the new regime, whilst the Imperial Intelligence Service provided information on the Independent Nations formed from the Treaty of Coruscant.
Many of the New States formed from the Treaty of Coruscant would break down into civil wars whilst other wars, such as the Minos Cluster Civil War continued to escalate. As Palpatine promised to provide stability to the Galaxy this resulted in the Empire intervene in various conflicts under the justification of bringing peace and stability.
Several other conflicts with the Empire as renewed separatism began in sectors that had previously been loyal to the Republic during the Clone Wars, however these separatist states would quickly be annexed by the Empire as secession was penalised by the Empire.
Within the Western Reaches of the Outer Rim Separatist Holdouts had been harassing trade and development in the region. As a result the Emperor tasked the Imperial Military with Pacification Operations to remove the threat that the holdouts possessed. The ensuing conflict lasted for years until final all holdouts were either destroyed or had ceased operations.
