Separatist holdouts

"As Governor Tarkin can attest, our navy was still chasing Separatist holdouts as late as a year ago."

- Vice Admiral Rancit, five years after the Clone Wars

Separatist holdouts were elements of the Confederacy of Independent Systems that had not stopped fighting after the Separatist Alliance's defeat in the Clone Wars. These elements operated and remain active against the Galactic Empire, which replaced the Galactic Republic, the enemy of the Separatists, at the end of the war. Four years after the war, the Imperial Navy was still chasing after Separatist holdouts. Weapons and technology of the separatists continued to be utilized after the war which were studied by the Imperial researchers. As a young boy, Zare Leonis imagined serving the Empire, fighting against Separatist holdouts, pirates, and slavers, but ended up finding the reality of service as an Imperial cadet to be very different.
