War of the Week - Clone Wars

CLONE WARS
A galaxy wide war matched between the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) and the CIS (Confederacy of Independent Systems). http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clone_Wars
For us though, there is a change. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine has fallen. In the Battle of Coruscant, the Jedi rescue plans failed. Droid forces held back the Jedi for several minutes while the Invisible Hand attempted to make its escape. During this time a pair of Venator class warships attacked the Invisible Hand. Sending it crashing down onto the planet below. As before, the ship was split in two as its crew tried to save it. Count Dooku and Palpatine were left stranded on the aft half of the ship. Both were killed in the landing along with tens of thousands of people who were at the point of impact. Grievous survived, ordering his crew to abandon ship shortly before the crash.
Changes to the Timeline.
1.) Order 66 is no longer a factor. This is due to Palpatine's death and no one else having the ability to use the command. A second effect is that the Clone Troops are now loyal only to the Jedi Order as the last they had been told was to serve under the Jedi.
2.) The Jedi are in control of the Republic's war effort. Palpatine's efforts for power have left few departments able to operate without him. The Jedi were forced to take total control of the GAR for sake of the Republic. This was supported and even asked for by the Senate who was left in a state of panic by the recent battle and loss of its figure head.
3.) Jedi Master Yoda is now by effect the leader of the Republic.
Terms of victory
Massive GAR victory - The Republic sweeps away the CIS with little trouble.
Impressive GAR victory - The Republic fights well enough that victory was without doubt but still hard fought.
Moderate GAR victory - The Republic slowly but surely beats back the CIS but with heavy losses.
Minimal GAR victory - The Republic has suffered harshly to this war. Though victorious, it will take a long time to heal.
Pyrrhic GAR victory - Though victory is theirs, the Republic is on the verge of falling apart from the cost of the war.
Stalemate - Neither side is able to gain a stance over the other. (choose your own outcome & strength of each power)
Pyrrhic CIS victory - The CIS defeats the Republic only to find its own members bandrupt and fighting over whats left.
Minimal CIS vitory - The CIS defeats the Republic and forces its Independence though is unable to destroy the GAR in whole.
Moderate CIS victory - The CIS continue pressing the GAR forces. Droid armies slowly crush the GAR, but at heavy price.
Impressive CIS victory - The CIS fights well enough that victory is without doubt but still hard fought.
Massive CIS victory - The endless droid armies stamp out the Republic in a crushing victory.
Both sides are now fighting without the Sith pushing its influence. This will be a total war where either side would take whatever advantages it can get.
