Confederacy of Independent Systems

The Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) was a short-lived government in the Triangulum Galaxy that formed 35 years ago by private corporation and planetary governments that wanted to breakaway from the Galactic Republic.

It was the Republic's main foe in the Clone Wars, and was ultimately defeated by the Republic. Most CIS territory along with the Republic merged with the Shi'ar Empire into the present-day Intergalactic Empire.

However, remnants of the CIS continued to fight the new Intergalactic Empire for many years, eventually merging into the Alliance to Restore the Republic, itself part of the larger Rebel Alliance.
