Are the Empire’s Rebels just yesterday’s Separatists in new clothes? The Confederacy of Independent Systems wasn’t driven by ideology so much as by corporate interests, trade unions, and Outer Rim frustrations with a bloated Republic. But what really pushed entire systems to break away? Why fight so fiercely for independence while simultaneously aligning with a new power rising in the shadows? And what was the Separatists’ true endgame?

In this episode, Mark, Brian, and Garrett dig into the political, philosophical, and moral tensions behind the Separatist movement—its motivations, its contradictions, and its lasting impact on the galaxy.
