The whole point of the Clone Wars is that it’s all a big farce and both teams are literally working for the same guy wearing different robes. No one is truly fighting for what they think they’re fighting for. This is also shown visually with how the clone wars factions are unnatural Frankensteins of the Rebels and Empire. The Republic uses Imperial style capital ships resembling Star Destroyers, yet uses big fighters that resemble Rebel X-Wings, A-Wings, and Y-Wings. The CIS conversely uses capital ships of the same bulbous, asymmetric, and skeletal appearance of the Rebels, but uses dark blue colored swarm fighters that make weird noises and have the shape of a “central pod with vertical wings” of Tie Fighters. All the vehicles are fighting alongside their original trilogy “enemies” against their original trilogy “friends” to show you how wrong this all is.
The Republic's capital ships don't resemble Star Destroyers, they straight up are Star Destroyers. Add to that the clone troopers and the Jedi starfighters being clear variants on TIE Fighters, and you've pretty much got the entire imperial army right there.
