    How did the separatists field such a huge fleet when their council is a fraction of the republic?

      Droids are cheaper than normal soldiers and the Seperatists had the backing of various banking Clans and other interested parties

          To an extent but this was primarily over trade and it’s on me for forgetting to mention the Trade Federation and stuff. I’m not actually sure who had more money because everything always seemed painted to be fairly even. So many parties on either side were backing that the finances got really muddy really fast.
