''We have written this book to preserve and chronicle the war that brought about the Republic's downfall. Lawen Austin and myself, Hevor Jorkins, decided to write the true accounts that occurred. Let not these lead you astray, but rather, learn from them.''

Origins of the Clone Wars by Hevor Jorkins
Though the Clone Wars officially began in 22 BBY, its origins can be traced back to around ten years, roughly the time around the Blockade of Naboo. Eight years later, dozens of planets seceded from the Galactic Republic because of its continual decline. Despite Chancellor Palpatine's best attempt as negotiations, hundreds of worlds despised his charismatic leadership, and so therefore formed the separatists movement.

Two years later, the movement was at its peak. The Galactic Senate voted for resurrecting the Republic Army since the Ruusan Reformations, though this was never carried out due to an attempted assassination on a senator named Padme Amidala. The Republic and Jedi Order learned later that a Jedi Master named Sifo-Dyas placed an order for three million clones to be prepared, ready to serve the Republic. A bounty hunter named Jango Fett, a Mandalorian, served as a template for this massive clone army. Little did the sleepy Republic know that a growing threat was about to awaken that would bring about their destruction three years later...

On Geonosis, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that former Jedi Master Count Dooku had made several alliances with the Corporate Alliance, Techno Union, Inter-Galactic Banking Clan, the Commerce Guild and the Trade Federation.
