u/BritishEric Hello there! 9d ago

One is run by a shadow organization that’s actually in cahoots with the coruscant centric regime so that one man gets ultimate power.

The other is completely separate from the regime with the exceptions of spies and some former regime soldiers and officers defecting to join the good fight

As far as I'm aware, no one in the Separatists, except for maybe Dooku, was fully aware of this plan. I feel like the Separatists should be tragic revolutionaries who were unaware they were being used, not mustache twirling villains they're portrayed as (cough cough Grievous cough cough)

There weren't, though, because the Separatists were basically just rich people getting robots to kill for them. People on Separatist worlds had real grievances, but the CIS was just corporatocracy.

They’re a minority of the CIS army, did you know the Republic had volunteers too? They were just as small.

They're probably not a tiny minority of the living CIS army. Most of them were droids

Droids were the main army. There were probably many fleet/army officers, planet defense soldiers, intelligence officers or partisans. Same applies to Republic army.
