Confederacy navy

The Separatist navy, known more commonly as the Separatist fleet, was the naval division of the Confederacy of Independent Systems military during the Clone Wars. It was created during the height of the Separatist Crisis to bring a means of defense against the Galactic Republic.

Origins
In 22 BBY, growing dissatisfaction with the Galactic Republic created unrest in the Galactic Senate and led thousands of systems to secede from the Republic. The Separatist movement rallied under the leadership of Count Dooku, a former Jedi Master. Following a failed assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala, the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that the Republic was secretly building a clone Grand Army of the Republic on Kamino. While pursuing the clones' template Jango Fett to Geonosis, Kenobi discovered that the Separatists were secretly building a Droid Army. Shortly later, the Republic launched an attack on Geonosis, sparking the Clone Wars.

22 BBY
During the early stages of the Clone Wars, a Separatist fleet under Admiral Trench, a veteran of the Battle of Malastare Narrows, lay siege to the planet Christophsis. The Republic and Jedi Order dispatched reinforcements including Jedi Generals Kenobi and Skywalker, Admiral Wullf Yularen, and Clone Commander Cody to liberate Christophsis. Admiral Yularen and General Skywalker used a stealth ship to cripple Trench's Providence-class dreadnought Invincible, allowing Kenobi and Cody's fleet to attack the now leaderless Separatist fleet. Despite this, fighting on the ground continued on Christophis. Later, a Separatist fleet blockaded and invaded the Twi'lek homeworld of Ryloth. This blockade cut off any support for the dwindling Republic defenses and starving population. Republic Senator Bail Organa and Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks managed to convince King Katuunko of Toydaria to secretly ship supplies to Ryloth.

The Separatists then deployed the Malevolence, a powerful Subjugator-class heavy cruiser equipped with deadly Mega-ion cannons that could disable the power systems of entire Republic Navy fleets. The Malevolence used its powerful ion cannons to destroy dozens of Republic ships, leaving no survivors. The Jedi Council dispatched Jedi Master Plo Koon and the Venator-class Star Destroyer Triumphant to hunt down the mysterious Separatist ship. However, the Malevolence ambushed the Triumphant, killing most of the crew. Plo Koon and several Clone troopers including Clone Commander Wolffe managed to escape due to the intervention of Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano.

The Malevolence continued its attacks on Republic military ships. Count Dooku then tasked General Grievous with attacking the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, which was housing 60,000 wounded Republic Clone troopers. In response, General Skywalker and Commander Tano attacked the Malevolence with the Y-wing Shadow Squadron. Despite taking casualties, Shadow Squadron managed to damage the Malevolence mega-ion cannon. With Republic ships in pursuit and the ship's hyperdrive damaged, Grievous retreated with the Malevolence back to Separatist Space.

With Republic ships in pursuit, Darth Sidious and Count Dooku arranged for Senator Amidala's ship to rendezvous with the Malevolence. Grievous tried to take Amidala and C-3PO hostage but they managed to escape into the Malevolence. Anakin, Kenobi, and R2-D2 mounted a rescue mission and infiltrated the Malevolence. While aboard the Malevolent, Anakin rigged the Malevolence to crash into the Dead Moon of Antar. The destruction of the Malevolence dealt a blow to Grievous' credibility. In addition, Jedi General Luminara Unduli's forces intercepted a Separatist fleet being sent to reinforce Grievous.

Later, Separatist droid forces attempted to capture Rishi Station so that a Separatist fleet could attack the Republic cloning factories on Kamino but were repelled by Clone troopers, who managed to warn the Republic. As a result, the Separatists were forced to withdraw their fleet from the orbit of Rishi moon. Republic forces under General Skywalker and Admiral Yularen later destroyed a Separatist fleet commanded by Grievous during the Battle of Bothawui. Grievous escaped on his personal starfighter Soulless One. Skywalker and R2-D2 gave chase but their Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor was damaged in a meteor storm.

A fleet of Separatist Munificent-class star frigates under the T-series tactical droid TF-1726 later Battle of Quell clashed with three Venator-class Star Destroyers under Jedi General Aayla Secura on the planet Quell. Republic reinforcements under General Skywalker came to General Secura's rescue and rescued Secura from her stricken Star Destroyer. They escaped to the planet Maridun where they encountered a Lurmen village.
