The Confederacy of Independent Systems

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

	General Grievous General Grievous was one of the fiercest Kaleesh warlords. After being mangled in a shuttle crash, Grievous was put back together by Geonosian scientists and joined the CIS. Despite his prowess in combat with four lightsabers and his keen tactical mind, Grievous was ultimately killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi at the Battle of Utapau.
			Count Dooku Once an eminent Jedi Master, Dooku eventually became estranged from the order and left for the Outer Rim. Years later, he resurfaced, at the head of the CIS movement and a Dark Lord of the Sith. With his formidable dueling skills and near-mastery of the force, Dooku, now known as Darth Tyrannous, was a formidable adversary. However, he was ultimately slain by Anakin Skywalker at the Battle of Coruscant.
	CIS Merchant Leaders The technical leaders of the Separatists, with only a few being shown to the right, are a conglomeration of several large trading and banking firms. Monstrously rich, the leaders are often on the run from their home planets. Near the end of the war, all of them were assassinated on the planet Mustafar by Anakin Skywalker.
			Darth Sidious Though not technically a member of the CIS, Lord Sidious, secretly the Chancellor of the Republic, was the mastermind behind the entire Clone War. Though he gave advice to the leaders of the Separatists, he also gave the order to Anakin Skywalker that ensured their doom.
	IG-100 Droids The IG-100 MagnaGuard Droid was an extremely advanced model of duelist droid assigned to General Grievous as his personal escort. Wielding their lightsaber-resistant electro-staffs, the droids must be completely destroyed before they will stop fighting.
			Destroyer Droids The Destroyer Droid, or Droideka, is the terror of the CIS forces. Armed with dual heavy repeating blasters and a personal shield generator, it often takes an entire company of soldiers, or even light artillery, to take down a Droideka.
	B-1 Battle Droid The battle droid, armed with a simple blaster carbine, is the shock trooper of the Confederacy forces. The fact that on their own the droids are useless is of little concern, due to the fact that the Separatists forces number in the quadrillions.
			B-2 Super Battle Droid The super battle droid is an improvement on the original B-1 model. Unlike the spindly, poorly armed B-1, the B-2 contains a repeating blaster and a reinforced armor torso.
	Buzz Droid The Buzz Droid is one of the deadliest of the Separatist machinations. Released from the discord missile, the buzz droids are used to capture an enemy craft and disable it. This is most useful on enemy squadron leaders and high-ranking commanders.
