"The Republic Senate is holding a critical vote on whether or not to escalate the war effort. However, many of the delegates are undecided as to what to do."
"How interesting. You would find the Separatist Parliament in a similar dilemma."

―Padmé Amidala and Mina Bonteri^[src]

The Separatist Congress, also known as the Separatist Parliament or the Separatist Senate, was the civilian-based governing body of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Headquartered on the planet Raxus, it opposed the Senate of the Galactic Republic for the majority of the Clone Wars.

Description

Organization

"In accordance with the By-Laws of Independent Systems, a voice vote is required."

―Count Dooku^[src]

The Separatist hierarchy

"No! Dooku is deceiving you. You'll all be betrayed, just like my mother!"

―Lux Bonteri, to several senators of the Separatist Congress^[src]

History

Formation

"'He' is a 'she,' a senator in the Confederacy of Independent Systems."
"Your friend is a Separatist? One of Dooku's pawns?"
"The Separatists used to be a part of the Republic. I was close with many of the senators who left. I may not agree with them, but they're more than pawns."

―Padmé Amidala and Ahsoka Tano, on Mina Bonteri^[src]

A failed peace

"Your Republic forces have carried out a barbaric attack on our people! And among the deaths was the very sponsor of the peace accord, Senator Mina Bonteri. With her needless death, I must formally withdraw the proposal for peace offered by our Senate."

―Coutn Dooku, in a transmission to the Republic Senate^[src]

Conference on Mandalore

"The Republic recognizes the tragedy of war, but there is nothing we can change that has already occurred."
"Say it aloud before this gathering—as representative for Chancellor Palpatine that you declare, without reservation, the Separatist state legitimate."

―Padmé Amidala and Voe Atell^[src]

Notable members

Count Dooku

"He's just the leader of the Senate; he's not the leader of the entire universe."

―Mina Bonteri^[src]

Behind the scenes

"Lott Dod makes mention of the Separatist Senate. This civilian political arm of the Confederacy, not yet seen in the series, will play an important rule in future episodes."
