Clone Wars

The Clone Wars were a large galaxy-wide conflict between the Confederacy of Independent Systems led by Count Dooku and the Galactic Republic led by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.

Prologue
Friction between the Galactic Republic and large, power-thirsty companies began around 33 BBY. Soon afterward,  Palpatine was appointed Supreme Chancellor. Led by Count Dooku, a Jedi turned Sith, they united secretly and began to build a large droid army. Meanwhile, the Republic had just created an army of clone troopers.
