Clone Wars

The Clone Wars were a conflict fought by the Republic and the Separatist Alliance.

Prelude
The Republic Senate existed in the days before the Clone Wars, when Senator Leto Borian represented Atzerri. The Secessionist Movement led to the war.

Black Sun was at its peak on the eve of the war, at a point when Leto Borian paid a visit to the Outlander Club and left graffiti referring to Padmé Amidala on a durasteel glow lamp pole outside.

The war
The Separatist Alliance was led by a former Jedi, and Jedi including Pong Krell and Barriss Offee committed some of the war's largest atrocities, leading the Emperor to make claims concerning a planned Jedi rebellion. He spoke for the common good, and in favor of diplomatic resolutions, though the war drove some senator to drink.

Senator Leto Borian was assigned to the Senate Military Oversight Committee where he met Pym Dameron and Selwyn Phasma. The three men testified before the committee following the Battle of Kamino. The Clone Intelligence division was utilized during wartime.

The Zygerrian Slave Empire was decimated in the war, leading to the Hutt Clan becoming the preeminent slave merchants of the galaxy.

Outer Rim Sieges
A year before the end of the war, the Republic and Separatist Alliance committed their forces to the Outer Rim Sieges, although were challenged when the Sith Lord Darth Maul formed the Shadow Collective as a viable third force in the conflict. He united Black Sun, the Pyke Syndicate, and the Hutt Clan, and used the Nightbrothers of Dathomir and Mandalorian Death Watch as soldiers to organize opposition and distract the warring factions.

Ultimately, the Jedi rebellion came to pass, and the Separatist Council was lost on Mustafar.

Aftermath
When the war ended, the Emperor proclaimed the birth of a new Galactic Empire, which some saw as a new dawn to reform the corrupt remnants of the Republic. An Imperial machtergreifung followed the Jedi rebellion, and the Military Intelligence service succeeded Clone Intelligence.

Certain Separatist units refused to surrender after the loss of their Council, and remnants threatened to storm the Imperial perimeter.

Worlds such as Atzerri prospered after the war, and it became a powerhouse following the Antar Atrocity.
