Droid Army

The Droid Armies (also known as the Separatist Droid Army) was the military force of the Separatist Alliance that was made from the combined droid armies of multiple factions. It was created by multiple corporations and weapons manufacturers combining their security forces into one army to serve the Separatists. 
== History ==
The Droid Armies were made on Geonosis in the Stalgasin Hive Spires and other Geonosian Droid Factories. Many corporations such as the Trade Federation, Commerce Guild and the Corporate Alliance bought battle droids from the Geonosians and the Techno Union in order to act as their security forces. 
=== Naboo Crisis ===
During the Invasion of Naboo, the Trade Federation used their army of battle droids as their enforcers. The droids were able to capture the entire planet in a matter of days. During the occupation, the droids were able to locate the hidden Gungan city of Otoh Gunga, driving its residents out. Despite this, the Federation was defeated during the Battle of Naboo when the Vuutun Palaa, the droid control ship, was destroyed.
=== Clone Wars ===
Ten years later, in 22 BBY, there was a summit on Geonosis during which the Trade Federation, Commerce Guild and the Corporate Alliance all combined their droid security forces into one army. As well as this, the Techno Union and the Geonosians manufactured a new set of battle droids for the Separatists to use in the army. 
Throughout the Clone Wars, the Droid Armies fought against the Grand Army of the Republic. The Droid Armies invaded many planets such as Kashyyyk in an attempt to capture Republic worlds. Being the largest faction controlled by the Separatists, the Trade Federation retained much control over the army.
In the third year of the war, the Separatists made an attempt to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. However, the plan failed and resulted in the death of Separatist leader Count Dooku. Following this, the Separatists made a retreat to the Outer Rim. Following the death of General Grievous and the assassination of the Separatist Council, the Separatists lost the war and were taken over by the Galactic Empire. During this time, the Trade Federation was commanded to shut down the Droid Armies.
