Confederacy Defense Forces

​

The Confederacy Defense Forces or Separatist military is comprised primarily of droid forces from across a variety of corporate members in the Confederacy. The Confederacy lacks the centralized elements of the Grand Army of the Republic but makes up for it in sheer numbers due to the near limitless number of droids. The Confederacy also contains a number of planetary, sentient (non-droid) units which fight across the galaxy for the confederate cause. Officially General Grevious is the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies and holds ultimate command authority over the "unified" droid armies.

OOC Note: Please note that SW:G is not a game of numbers, this is here to provide an overview for writers to gain an idea of relative strengths and ideas.

Writers interested in the Confederacy can belong to a number of different sub-factions within the CIS.

• Trade Federation Droid Army
• Techno Union Droid Army
• Commerce Guild Punitive Security Forces
• IGBC Collections and Security Division
• Corporate Alliance Policy Administration Division

Writers interested in playing a sentient member, can use one of the various sentient units within the CIS. Please note that these units and formations are few and far between, they are rare and should used as a sort of "special forces" compared to droid units.

• Morgukai Shadow Army - Despite the Siege of Saleucami, some Nikto continued to serve the Confederacy within the Morgukai secret society and were deadly Jedi hunters. Morgukai were known to mirror the Jedi in some respects. They were notably equipped with Cortosis staves.
• Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion - Used exclusively as guards for high-ranking Neimoidian officials (and the Trade Federation) some units of the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion were deployed for their skills related to protection of important sites and VIPs.
• Nimbus Commandos - Based out of their homeworld of Jabiim, the Nimbus Commandos are feared and elite mercenaries (and defenders of Jabiim) that aligned with the Confederacy and continue to operate as a special forces unit for the CIS.
• Koorivar Fusiliers - The Koorivar Fusiliers were experts in siege warfare, maintained their own distinct order of battle and were known for being advisors and present during important sieges of neutral or Galactic Republic worlds.
• Neimoidian Home Defense Legion - Based primarily on the Neimoidian worlds, the NHDL was known to operate where notable Neimoidian commanders or officials were present as a sort of "home guard".
• Umbaran Militia - The planetary defense force of Umbara provided a number of highly skilled, sentinent units to the Confederacy. The Umbaran's have proved to be a formidable force bolstering the Confederacy's strength.
• Iotran Guard - Serving as the protectors and enforcers of the InterGalactic Banking Clan, the Iotran Guard was located primarily on Muunilist but was seen elsewhere on the fields of battle of the Clone Wars.
• Gossam Commandos - Elite, special forces body guards of the Commerce Guild and skilled combatants on the field of battle.
