Separatist Alliance

The Separatist Alliance (also simply known as the Separatists) was an alliance of star systems that wanted to secede from the Galactic Republic from 22 BBY to 19 BBY.
The Separatist Alliance was formed on Geonosis by several senators and political leaders hoping to secede from the Galactic Republic and gain independence. The Separatists were governed by a Head of State, who oversaw the Separatist Council, which was made up of the coporate leaders who sold weapons to the Separatists.
From 22 BBY to 19 BBY, the Separatists fought in the Clone Wars against the Republic. However, both states had failed to realize that the Republic Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine, was secretly a Sith Lord, who was orchestrating both sides of the war in order to gain galactic domination. The Separatists was dissolved at the end of the war after the assassination of the Separatist Council on Mustafar. 
The former territories of the Alliance were merged with the Republic and absorbed into the Galactic Empire.
