History Characters / StarWarsSeparatistAlliance

* KickTheSonOfABitch: On the receiving end of this by the end of the Ryloth arc. His Tactical Droid, TA-175, takes the last Sheathipede-class transport shuttle and leaves Tambor to die in the bombing campaigns he ordered, but considering that Tambor attempted to commit genocide on Ryloth, not much sympathy can be mustered for him.

* CrazyPrepared: To prepare for a hostile conflict with Imperial forces, she had her remaining B1 battle droid battalion armed with anti-air weapons to shoot down Imperial shuttles, acquired several destroyer droids and commando droids to bolster her forces, and even managed to reactivate a tactical droid to coordinate her capital's defense. While these preparations did severely hamper the Empire's attack, they proved to not be enough in defending Desix's independence.
* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Her ultimate fate by the order of Governor Grotton, following the defeat of her forces and the resolution of the hostage crisis.
* DisproportionateRetribution: On the receiving end. After capturing Governor Grotton, she did not have him tortured in any way and promised to free him and his men as soon as the Galactic Empire recognized Desix's independence. When her rebellion is crushed by Imperial forces and Cody convinces her to voluntarily release Grotton so as to protect her remaining citizens, then imperial governor has her summarily executed and her body displayed on the streets as a warning to others who would try to rebel.

** Especially when compared to [[DirtyCoward Nute Gunray]]. When he was abandoned by his tactical droid and at Mace Windu's mercy, he was prepared to die in the impending Separatist bombing of Lessu, taking the Republic forces with him. Ultimately subverted in that Anakin and Ahsoka were able to take out the Hyena bombers in time, saving Ryloth and setting Tambor to be taken prisoner.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: On the receiving end of this by the end of the Ryloth arc. His Tactical Droid takes the last transport ship and leaves Tambor to die in the bombing campaigns he ordered, but considering that Tambor attempted to commit genocide on Ryloth, not much sympathy can be mustered for him.

The senator of Raxus Secundus. When the Empire began its occupation on Raxus, rather than cooperate, Senator Singh instead opted to voice his opposition against their newest tyrants.

* EnemyMine: When he's held captive after a defiant speech, Republic clone troopers (albeit a rogue group) are the ones who rescue him from house arrest, and later on he's seen meeting Riyo Chuchi in a secret gathering to talk about the growing dissent beneath the empire over tea. The two of them lament on how such circumstances have brought them together, despite them being on opposite sides prior during the Clone Wars.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite being the senator of the Separatist capital world, he was absent in "Heroes on Both Sides" and "Pursuit of Peace", the two ''The Clone Wars'' episodes that focused on the Separatist Parliament. It's possible he replaced Senator Lawise, who was the leading senator of the Parliament until Dooku killed him.

* YouAreInCommandNow: With the end of the Clone Wars, just about every other Separatist leader is dead due to the events of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', which leaves Senator Singh due to his position as the political representative of the Separatist capital world.

* CrazyPrepared: To prepare for a hostile conflict with Imperial forces, she had her remaining battle droid battalion armed with anti-air weapons to shoot down Imperial shuttles, acquired many destroyer droids and commando droids to be deployed during critical moments, and even managed to reactivate a tactical droid to coordinate her capital's defense. While these preparations did severely hamper the Empire's attack, they proved to not be enough in defending Desix's independence.
* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Her ultimate fate, following the defeat of her forces and the resolution of the hostage crisis.
* DisproportionateRetribution: On the receiving end. After capturing Governor Grotton, she did not have him tortured in any way and promised to free him and his men as soon as the Galactic Empire recognized Desix's independence. When her rebellion is crushed by Imperial forces and after Ames voluntarily releases Grotton for peace, Grotton has her summarily executed and her body displayed on the streets as a warning to others who would try to rebel.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: She only appears in one episode leading a small Separatist holdout before she is executed, but her death and outlook acts as the final catalyst that causes Commander Cody to defect from the Empire, something that NEVER happened in the old canon.

* AesopAmnesia: ''Queen's Shadow'' shows exactly why Padmé ended any kind of romantic relationship with him: He forced a kiss on her even though she clearly said "no" multiple times. By "[[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS6E6TheRiseOfClovis The Rise of Clovis]]", he still hasn't learned his lesson, as he attempts to kiss her again... when [[CrazyJealousGuy Anakin]] walks in, and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown makes him learn his lesson the hard way]].

-->'''Clovis:''' I was accepted as their child, everywhere we went. I almost forgot where I was from...until I looked in the mirror.

* {{Slimeball}}: Although quite charming and handsome, Clovis's underlying personality is rather sleazy at times. He takes advantage of people's trust and goodwill, especially [[WideEyedIdealist Padmé's]], to further his own ends and is primarily interested in making himself rich and powerful; he is also reluctant to take no for an answer from Padmé when she rejects his romantic advances, even attempting to force a kiss on her in her own home. That being said, he does [[TookALevelInKindness become a better person]] and tries to [[MustMakeAmends make amends]] for his actions, but he finds himself being used and outwitted by more sinister and competent people like Count Dooku, and ultimately his plans fall apart completely.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Anakin whenever they're forced to work together. Just about the only thing that will compell them to grudgingly cooperate is helping Padmé, the woman they both love.

The Governor of Desix, Ames was a fellow senator of Mina Bonteri and one of the supporters for her proposed peace treaty with the Republic. Once the peace treaty was rejected, she believed that peace with the Republic was impossible, and later initiated a rebellion against the Galactic Empire with Desix's droid garrison, which resulted in her death.

* CrazyPrepared: To prepare for a hostile conflict with Imperial forces, she had her remaining Battle Droid battalion armed with anti-air weapons to shoot down Imperial shuttles, include elite units such as Destroyer Droids and Commando Droids to be deployed during critical moments, and even managed to acquire a Tactical Droid to coordinate her capital’s defense.

* TheRemnant: She is a former Separatist governor and commands a fairly sizable droid garrison, though she is now fighting for her world's independence rather than the CIS.

* InformedAttribute: ''Revenge of the Sith'''s OpeningScroll says that "there are heroes on both sides", but the Separatists rarely show this off. The closest thing to a heroic character who stayed with the Separatists would probably be Mina Bonteri, who is pretty deep into TokenGoodTeammate territory (to the point of being assassinated by other Separatists). The Separatist leaders we see are corporate directors, war profiteers, and [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores any criminals they could convince to side with them]], and their armies are almost entirely comprised of {{Killer Robot}}s. ''The Bad Batch'' later shows another heroic senator, Avi Singh, during ''Common Ground'' and Tawni Ames the Governor of Desix, so it looks like it's not all talk.

* StandardSciFiArmy: The vast majority of Separatist forces are droids, complemented by small numbers of organic troops (usually in support roles) like Neimoidians, Geonosians, Zygerrians, and Umbarans. The battle droids serve as the backbone of ground formations, with droidekas being heavy infantry. The Confederacy depends heavily on mechanized or armored formations, using tanks, artillery, and other heavy weapons to overwhelm clone positions.

* TheScapegoat: Sidious and Dooku's scheme to take over the banks sets him up as a ''perfect'' one. Dooku provides him with the information needed to overthrow the corrupt leaders of the [=InterGalactic=] Banking Clan, later using the knowledge of this deal to {{Blackmail}} Clovis into aiding the Separatists, abandoning the banks' long-held policy of neutrality and angering the Republic. Sidious then makes him look even ''more'' like a traitor by launching a Separatist attack on Scipio, before running away as soon as the Republic arrive. Thus Sidious, as [[BitchInSheepsClothing Supreme Chancellor Palpatine]], now controls all banking in the galaxy, and the now-dead Clovis is remembered as nothing more than a power-hungry traitor.

A powerful trade guild that owned numerous planets and subsidiary corporations. The Skakoan's, through a number of shrewd investments and deals, came to dominate the Techno Union. During the Clone Wars it was one of the primary backers of the Separatist Alliance, utilizing its factories to create the droid armies. However, due to many of its subsidiaries also providing weapons to the Republic, the Techno Union was able to claim neutrality during the war. After the end of the conflict, the Empire absorbed most of what remained of the guilds assets and dissolved it, with most of its surviving contracts going to the Mining Guild.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: He's arugably the only good part of the Techno Union (Since he advocates that the Republic needs more Clones), given what we later see the full atrocities of the Union in the Bad Batch arc, including using Echo as a computer interface and testing new weapons on the navite Poletecs.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Even though he is a mole for the Separatists and wants more profits for the Techno Union, he's not enitrely wrong on the fact that the Republic needs more clones, otherwise the Separatists would gain more ground.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being rude and aggressive towards the Republic and refusing peace negotiations, when Lux Bonteri barges in and calls Count Dooku out for murdering his mother Mina, she tells Dutchess Satine that they can handle him themselves by having 2 Commando Droids escort him out.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Like Mina and Lawise, he was Separatist because he believed the Republic was corrupt, and with the rise of the Empire, it proves his point.

* BadBoss: He's been known to shoot Separatist droids just for mentioning the word "escape". Not even Commando Droids are safe from him, nor is his Tactical Droid!
* BoomHeadshot: When Piell refuses to yield the Nexus Route's coordinates to him, Sobek retorts by shooting one of Piell's clone troopers in the head at point-blank range.

* DirtyCoward: During the first two thirds of the Arc, he lets his Mooks do all the dirty work, electrocutes Anakin only from the Safe Distance of his Command Post and only confronted Obi-Wan, Piell and their Clones in person when they had already been arrested and handcuffed, thus didn't pose as any direct danger to him. When he finally ''does'' go into the battle himself, he only does so after being repeatedly chastised by Count Dooku, likely fearing Dooku might kill him if he wouldn't do it.
