"Kay, tell him you're with CIS Special Operations."
"Uh, I'm CIS. Special ops. I'm here to help."

―ND-5 advises Kay Vess on gaining MT-7's trust

CIS Special Operations was a special forces branch active as part of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' military during the Clone Wars, a galactic conflict between the CIS and Galactic Republic.

Description

As part of the Confederacy military, CIS Special Operations supported the Confederacy of Independent Systems government and greater military apparatus. While the Separatist military was overwhelming composed of droids, it did employ a limited number of organic personnel. Indeed, organic operatives, who could answer to ranks such as lieutenant, existed amongst the special operations personnel.

History

BX-series droid commandos were special forces units active during the Clone Wars.

CIS Special Operations was active during the Clone Wars, a galaxy-wide war between the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Republic that raged from 22 BBY to 19 BBY. Special forces units deployed by the Confederacy included the BX-series droid commando, which was deployed both into large-scale battle alongside other Separatist Droid Army units and into smaller-scale commando missions, and organic operatives. For example, elite Skakoan commandos from the Techno Union served the Separatist war machine despite the Union's alleged neutrality in the Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars would end in 19 BBY with the collapse of the CIS and transformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire. The Confederacy military was defeated with the state, resulting in the dissolution of CIS Special Operations. Decades after the war in 3 ABY on the planet Akiva, the human criminal Kay Vess discovered the still-functioning but heavily damaged BX unit MT-7, who failed to realize the war was over and remained steadfast in completing his mission. At the suggestion of her partner-in-crime and fellow BX unit ND-5, Vess claimed she was part of CIS Special Operations to gain MT-7's trust. Afterward, Vess—whose alleged rank in the special operations branch was lieutenant—and ND-5 completed MT-7's final mission to give the damaged BX droid peace, with ND-5 then introducing himself to the fallen commando as a commander and allowing MT-7 to stand down at long last. Afterward, ND-5 and Vess talked about what it would have been like for Vess to have served under ND-5's command during the war.
