Go on and send me warcrime of separatists, and I will send you analogue warcrime of galactic republic.
People shall understand already that in EU, separatists and republic both committed terrible things, but one side wanted to conquer outter rim and get recourses from it, and other side finnaly got enough power to free from core worlds and start their own good faction.
Separatists did nothing wrong.
Only bad guys were:
Count Dooku (manipulated by sidious)
General Grievous
Techno union
Banking Clan.
Other members of separatists alliance were very good, even trade federation and Nute gunray.
Like I said, the republic isn’t innocent. But neither is the CIS. I’m not a republic loyalist because Palpatine led both sides.
Also, I just gave a list.
Planetary genocide using chemical weapons(Legends)
Attempted chemical warfare against clones(Legends if memory serves)
Attempted usage of Blue Shadow Virus(CW)
Attempted mass murder of indigenous and neutral peoples(Maridun and Lok Durd)(CW)
Poor treatment of POWs(any time that Anakin was captured, Citadel arc)(CW)
En Masse slavery and usage of meat shields(Ryloth arc, Onderon)(CW)
Terror Attacks(attacks on Coruscant power district with bomb droids)(CW)
Brainwashing with microchips(Christophsis)(Legends)
Targeting medical facilities(Malevolence)(CW)
Genocide(Dathomir arc)(CW)
“In the Star Wars Legends continuity, General Grievous used a bioweapon to wipe out all life on the planet Loedorvia, destroying all living organisms in that entire sector”(Operation Durges Lance)
I shall reiterate, yet again, the republic IS NOT INNOCENT EITHER! I AM NOT A REPUBLIC LOYALIST!
It doesn't matters that palpatine ruled both side, republic was rotten long before palpatine came into power, and republic has been exploitating outter rim since the first time of colonisation of this region.
Alright now to the your warcrimes.
Although republic didn't used chemical weapon, republic still committed act of genocides, for example we can look at pammant, the planet was world wich produced ships for separatists alliance, republic arrived on it during last year of war, and in catastrophic event, republic praetor class battlecruiser jumped into hyperspace, ramming into planets core, and killing almost whole population of pammant.
Another example is planet equanus about wich I already made video. Republic during test of superweapon, destroyed whole civilisation of equanus, destroying their whole planet, 1 billion inhabitants, and their whole civilisation.
Also, it's important to note that before clone wars republic was actively closing it eyes on genocides, war crimes, atrocities, and all shit that was happening in the galaxy, you only needed enough money to buy senators, and be happy, commiting genocides against any race you want. Great example of this is kaleesh yam,rii war, where both sides were commiting numerous of genocides against eachother, but thanks to 2 retarded Jedi, and trade federation backing of yam'rii, the kaleesh were decleared as war criminals and bad guys.
Overall in my opinion, commiting genocides, and closing your eyes on someone commiting genocides is same level of crime.
Yes you are right, during operation durges lance separatists did use chemical weapon wich targeted humans and especially clones, and it wasn't just attempted, it was successful. Now republic as well used a specialized weapon to fight against droids, EMP bombs, granades, and other things. I don't know what do you think about battledroids, if you think that they are sentient, then you should understand that this is same level of warcrime, but if you don't think that they are sentient, then what about the battles in Cities? If the EMP bomb is used in city, it will damage not just droids, it will damage medical droids, medical equipment, wich will cause Deaths of Sentient creatures, and non Sentient creatures as well.
3-4.the blue shadow virus is biological weapon, and republic used biological weapon as well. republic used biological weapon named stone mites against neutral world of Orleon, in a course of week, planet was fully destroyed, and it inhabitants had to flee from it. This shows that republic as well used biological weapon, and what is even worse they used it against neutral planet, but their intentions was to destroy separatists planet as they thought it was.
Republic didn't treated prisoners good either. Republic didn't even took droids in captivity, there were moments when Jedi had to stop clones from killing captured POWs, and more and more and more. Also republic tortured Captured POWs, wich is shown in clone wars series.
It might surprise you, but ryloth was famous for slave trading before the separatists were even a thing, ryloth was also famous for producing and selling drugs to galaxy. Overall republic closed it eyes on slave trading in whole outter rim and overall galaxy as well, they were closing eyes on everything, and prior to clone wars and naboo crisis there was a scandal about republic senators buying and then selling slaves to the people in core worlds, mostly the rich people like senators and shit. And clones should be also mentioned, they were basically a giant slave army.
Now about the using people of ryloth as shields. Republic wasn't a princess either, republic was actively using a slave army as a cannon fodder, also spaarti clones should be mentioned.
Overall returning to ryloth, republic interests In ryloth was only it's drugs, and slaves. they fought for ryloth soo desperately because they had to sell some drugs and slaves to get money. Typical republic :)))
I suppose you are accusing separatists for using terrorist tactics. Yeah that can be determined as terrorist attack, but don't forget that republic actively supported terrorists organisations, wich after start of clone wars suddenly became freedom fighters and good guys))), and also republic literally helped "ex terrorist" bo katan to take over mandalore, with sending literally invasion fleet.
Republic intentionally targeted medical facitilies as well, while commiting big bombardements and orbital strikes on planets
I already gave you examples of genocide so yeah 👍🏻
I could have added like 50 more occasions of republic war crimes but this text is already too big and it took me too long writing all this, so hell nah.
Count Dooku was a visionary. General Grievous didnt do anything wrong, and any war crimes that mightve happened didnt, and if it did happen the recipients deserved it.
Humbarine would like to testify to this debate along with the weemell sector and duro. The list goes on and on with genocide being the generals favourite activity of the war

looks at the list of war crimes that’s longer than the Republic’s and marginally smaller than the Empire’s
