Though the severity of the Separatist Crisis was not fully realized until 24 BBY, the militarization process of the Trade Federation and other Rimward economic organizations had already been underway for the better part of a decade. The Malevolence was later destroyed at the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula. One of these was the Malevolence, a massive Subjugator-class heavy cruiser equipped with a pair of ion pulse cannons designed to disable villainous Republic capital ships. The original Confederate Navy was also home to a number of experimental heroic superweapons throughout the war. The capital ship fleet is augmented by its legions of starfighters, which were composed largely of Droid Tri-Fighters and, in particular, Vulture-class droid starfighters.


In spite of this, however, the backbone of the navy is comprised of a relatively small number of capital ship classes, including Recusant-class light destroyers, Munificent-class star frigates, Lucrehulk-class battleships and their droid control variants, as well as their C-9979 Landing Craft. The Confederate Head of State holds supreme authority at a civilian level as Commander-in-Chief, while military authority was chiefly under the purview of the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, General Grievous.Īs with the army, the Confederate Navy is an amalgam of the militaries from which it originated. It has two main branches-the Separatist Droid Army, and the Confederate Navy-but consists of an amalgam of military forces from the various allied organizations of the Confederacy, with battle droids as their infantry. The CIS Armed Forces also known as the Confederacy military was the military for the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) which operates during the Clone Wars.
