The Confederacy of Independent Systems, abbreviated to CIS, and otherwise known as the Separatist Alliance, the Separatist State, the Separatist Confederacy, the Separatist coalition, or simply referred to as the Separatists, was a confederation with limited recognition of outlying star systems in the galaxy that had declared independence from the Galactic Republic, a democratic union, and had its capital on the planet Raxus Secundus in the Outer Rim. Secession could be traced back to the Raxus Address by former Jedi Master Count Dooku of Serenno, from a belief of excessive taxation and corruption within the Galactic Senate, as well as a general feeling of dissatisfaction towards the neglect by the Republic-centric Core Worlds. Furthermore, the Confederacy was secretly supported by several major galactic corporations which formed the executive council, while a parliament of senators become its civilian legislature.

Thousands of disgruntled star systems seceded from the Republic and joined together in the newly-created Confederacy of Independent Systems, born from a galaxy-wide secessionist movement orchestrated by the Count of Serenno Dooku. By 24 BBY, it had become a political crisis which led to escalating tensions between the Republic and the rising Confederacy. Many within the Confederacy, including its senators, had no desire in fighting their adversaries, as they sought to be free of what they saw as the corruption and tyranny of the Republic. The Confederacy was supported by the Trade Federation, led by Viceroy Nute Gunray; the Stalgasin hive, led by Archduke Poggle the Lesser; the InterGalactic Banking Clan, headed by Chairman San Hill; the Techno Union, led by Foreman Wat Tambor; the Commerce Guild, led by Presidente Shu Mai; the Corporate Alliance, led by Magistrate Passel Argente; and the Retail Caucus. However, in 22 BBY, both governments and their respective military forces became enmeshed in the pan-galactic Clone Wars, the first major conflict in a millennium, after the conflict exploded into being on the Confederacy's first capital world, Geonosis.

By the third year of the war, the Confederacy had suffered several major defeats in the Outer Rim Sieges as the conflict began to approach its end, while losing many starships in the decisive Battle of Coruscant, which also resulted in the death of Dooku. In the days following their defeat at Coruscant, General Grievous was neutralized on the planet Utapau, leading to the collapse of the Separatist leadership, and the fighting effectively coming to an end.

Following both the Jedi's demise and rise of the Galactic Empire, Viceroy Nute Gunray and the other surviving leaders gathered on the planet Mustafar with hopes of securing peace with the newly rising Empire ruled by Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine. However he sent his new apprentice Darth Vader to wipe out them and deactivate the Separatist Droid Army as a threat to his Empire.

With the end of the Clone Wars, the newly-formed Galactic Empire as the successor to the Old Republic, reintergrated former Separatists worlds into the Empire, with only several holdouts daring to resist the Empire, which were suppressed. But an idealized view of the cause persisted during the Imperial Era, with some still holding secessionist tendencies, even into the New Republic Era.

Dr Who rant incoherent geopolitical metaphor edition

The Doctor and Belinda go to space Eurovision but uh oh, terrorists from the genocided helian people are about to spoil the show. On the bright side, I can appreciate Andor in a new, brighter light after seeing how badly Dr Who fails to say anything while tackling the concepts of imperialism and genocide.

But it's ok, an assimilationist liberal got to sing on stage at the end.

The good:

  • I'm really groping around for something positive to say but, some of the various background aliens were cool.

The bad:

  • the irritating fawning about the reality TV micro celebrities that cluster around Eurovision like pilot fish around a shark.

  • the marvel quippy ass "did he just shoot his self into an airlock with a glitter cannon?" scene.

  • the confused mess that is the core political statement.

  • the thread around the Doctor torturing Kid because he's angry being dropped way too abruptly. It's like they wanted to make the Doctor more complex and less heroic but couldn't be bothered to put any narrative work in.

Overall:

Fuck this episode. This one is joining Kerblam in my seething hatred. Fuck everyone involved with this, may they spend the rest of their career trapped in the BBC's gritty cop drama mine.

Remember kids, genocide is bad but trying to liberate your people via direct action is worse. The only way you can be liberated is by asking nicely after you've been assimilated into the imperial structure.

Mrs Flood turning out to be the Ranni may finally shut up the fan speculators who keep headcanoning every woman that shows up more than once as her.

First part of the series finale next week. For better or for worst this series is almost over.

Bit idea: innovation where, instead of making shit worse and more exploitative, you just make something better and it's awesome. That way people will come to you to purchase a good thing instead of spending billions marketing bullshit.

theory nerd shitive seen interesting debates on the internet here and there about whether it makes sense to do a cadre org vs mass org at this very-clearly-not-yet revolutionary period in amerika (i remember it coming up in a trueanon thread a while back about someone who drifted away from PSL in part b/c of this tactical disagreement). im in PSL so yall know where my biases are, but im curious to hear what the arguments for the latter organizing form are assuming the cadre org also does coalition work that goes way broader than cadre membership?
