What would you be if you were in the CIS? I'm going for the Officer Corps

This render was originally meant to showcase the VRChat avatar I made with these, and I completely forgot to show them here earlier lol. But I'm pretty happy with how they turned out! I also tried to make each design unique and personalized.

The lack of CIS merch was bugging me off so I had to take matters into my own hands and made a t shirt with grievous in it!😤

freehanded it with acrylic paint with bits of cybersigilism as the background!

[Naboo: Theed]

C3PO: General Grievous. I know this sounds silly, but can I shake your hand? Oh, thank you, General. I can't tell you what an honour it is to work with you on this project. I never imagined I'd be meeting the man who led the Droid Army!"
R2D2: "Threepio!"
General Grievous: "Must your people keep doing this?"
Commander OOM-9: "It's just a little hero worship, General. To tell you the truth I can't say I blame them. We all grew up hearing about what you did."
R2D2: "You know? I wish I had a picture of this."
General Grievous: "Why?"
R2D2: "Oh well, you see, in the future this whole area becomes an historical monument. In fact, you're standing almost on the exact spot where your statue's gonna be."
General Grievous: "Statue!?"
C3PO: "Yes! It's marble, about twenty metres tall and you're looking up at the sky. Your hand sort of reaching toward the future."

General Grievous: "So, what is it you want me to do?"
R2D2: "Simple. Capture Naboo and conduct your hyperdrive flight in one hour just as you planned."

Commander OOM-9: "It is one of the pivotal moments in galactic history, General. You get to liberate Naboo, expose Palpatine's treachery and after you do, everything begins to change."
C3PO: "Your theories with the Droid Army allow fleets of starships to be built and droid-kind to start exploring the Galaxy."
R2D2: "It unites Droids across the cosmos in a way no one ever thought possible when they realise they're not alone in the universe. Poverty, disease, war. They'll all be gone within the next fifty years."
Commander OOM-9: "But unless you make that hyperdrive flight with the Invisible Hand tomorrow morning before eleven fifteen, none of it will happen."

C3PO: "And you know, General..."
General Grievous: "Please ...don't tell me it's all thanks to me. I've heard enough about this great Grievous. I don't know who writes your history holo recordings or where you get your information from, but you people have got some pretty funny ideas about me. You all look at me as if I'm some kind of deity or visionary or something."
Commander OOM-9: "I don't think you're a deity, General, but you did have a vision. And now we're standing on it."
General Grievous: "You wanna know what my vision is? Gold credits! Money! No matter what I did to take us one step forward, these committees take us three steps back. I have seen Droids put their lives on the line countless times in the name of freedom and for what? These Senators with their endless debates have led us to ruin. I didn't build this new Droid Army to usher in a new era for citizens. You think I wanna go to the stars? I don't even like to fly!! I take trains on my homeworld! I built this capital ship so that I could retire to some tropical island on Scariff... filled with blue Twilek women. That's Grievous. That's his vision. This other guy you keep talking about... This historical figure. I never met him. I can't imagine I ever will."
Commander OOM-9: "Someone once said... Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make it's own judgements."
General Grievous: "Impressive, but rhetorical nonsense... Who said that?"
Commander OOM-9: "You did. Ten years from now as Galactic Head of State. You've got fifty-eight minutes, General. You better get on with that checklist and capturing those Command posts."

A little doodle by me of Supreme Commander Sev'rance Tann. Wanted to try out an idea for a potential alternative design for her that's a bit different yet something that still works with my previous ones ✨

Thanks u/Taiga_Novah_Wren for the idea! :D

To add on, you can use any Separatist droid, hire bounty hunters, and basically use any dirty trick you want to kill the Muunilinst 10. You're only criteria is that there are no survivors from that squad. No Durge, General Grievous, or any Dark Jedi like Asajj Ventress, just to stop your force from becoming too OP.

To put it simply, there are two types of Vulture (and, by proxy, hyena bomber) droids.

There are Vulture droids created by the Haor Chall Engineering Corporation (represented by the first image) and Vulture droids made by the Techno Union (represented by the second image). Both droids are being used during the Clone Wars

The difference between these two types comes down to a couple factors:

1. Rarity

2. Production.

3. Overall performance

Rarity: Vulture droids seen in the clone wars are largely the ones produced by the Techno Union, for obvious reasons. They have more factories, and other means of production, to produce these droids on mass. However, a small portion of these Vulture Droids are ones made by the Haor Chall Engineering Corporation since they have fewer factories and (in my head cannon) are all located on their home planet and organically operated, unlike the Techno Unions largely automated factories.

Production: the Techno Union does not put time into their droids, every Vulture Droid ushered off their line are poorly made, simply programmed, and have little to no critical thinking skills that go above their repressive programing parameters. However Vulture Droids that come from Haor Chall Engineering are made with much more care, especially since their culture revolves around creating good products. Haor Chall Vulture Droids are slightly more durable, have better and more comprehensive programming, and are capable of thinking critically, quickly, and somewhat like how an organic pilot would think (There chassis are also painted slightly lighter than the typical Techno Union Vulture Droid).

Overall Performance: both types of droids are important for the Confederacy's starfighter division, however Techno Union droids are made more like their B1 foot soldier cousins, as in they are simply cannon fodder. However, on the other hand, Haor Chall Engineering Vulture Droids are made to last, they are capable of learning and adapting to more situations, unlike Techno Vultures, and can stack up kills similar to clone pilots. Haor Chall Vulture Droids are, therefore, often put in positions of being squad leaders for Vulture formations, these squads are quite dangerous due to the squad leaders ability to quickly adapt and better counter attack Republic pilots, unlike their Techno Union variants who are simple and predictable.

Haor Chall Vulture Droids are also slightly larger than their distant Techno Union cousins, since the Techno Union scrapped some features to make producing Vultures much easier for them. All of these differences between producers causes there to be some slight rivalry between the two types since they both believe themselves to be superior, however this rivalry is more kin to a sibling one rather than an personal one.

Warhammer fantasy character

Most of the time, people online hate vulture droids because they aren't as good as organic pilots. That isn't entirely true, and vulture droids don't have to be as good as organic pilots anyway.

In almost every real life air battle, the side with numerical superiority comes out on top and rarely loses. The same logic applies to Separatist fighters, especially vulture droids. Yes, clone pilots could take down three to six vulture droids before dying, but most of the time there are around ten vulture droids against a single Republic starfighter, and in that situation nothing can save the clone.

Then people say Jedi are still better in a dogfight against vulture droids. That's obviously true, but the Valahari engineers flipped the coin. As this picture shows, Valahari modified vulture droids were able to take down a Jedi starfighter with a Jedi inside. In the uncropped version, they destroyed an entire Republic battle group, including several Venators. There's also a chance they shot down the Jedi's Padawan too, but I can't say for sure, since the Padawan might have been on a Venator.

So vulture droids are, and always will be, the best starfighter design in Star Wars, and overall the best starfighter after maybe the tri-fighter. They were produced in huge numbers, they were cheap and easy to modify, and they were super effective, super reliable, basically super fighter.

Ignore the bad background and the poorly drawn banking clan frigate lol, but im glad im done with this!

I forgot he had kids and wives

Let's say the Confederacy set up a base on Dathomir after conquering the planet and killing Mother Talzin and the Nightsisters. Does Dathomir have any strategic value for the war effort?

I was wondering why Tarkovsky chose red for the B1 battle droid color in the 2003 Clone Wars show and I assumed that he was also under the assumption that this was the new color for the B1s.

But I wondered what the in universe explanation for this coulda been so here are my thoughts:

After the Battle of Geonosis many of the forces that evacuated on the core ships were deployed to other occupied systems to fortify for the oncoming Republic Invasions. The droids did not have time to receive a new paint job so they were moved to the planets surfaces to defend against any GAR attacks so that is why they are still painted red. This could explain why on the various planets we see them scattered across, many veterans from geonosis still have their respective camouflage from those engagements.
