Confederacy of Independent Systems

The Confederacy of Independent Systems (also known as the Seperatists) were a collection of mostly alien species Dooku who belong to many corporate organizations like The Trade Federation, the Corporate Alliance, The Commerce Guild and the Intergalactic banking Clan. All factions, especially when working together, made use of autonomous battle droids. The Political body was created and led by former-jedi, Count Dooku. They created the Battle Droids and fought against the Jedi. And General Grievous was trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku.
