Storm Fleet
this was the name used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems to describe the secretly- developed fleet of heavily-armored warships they brought to bear against the Old Republic, just months after the Battle of Geonosis. The appearance of the Storm Fleet - its ships were disguised as common freighters to allow them to travel easily across the galaxy - was developed by Kuat Drive Yards and served to reinforce the theory that the Separatists had been building up for war long before the Battle of Geonosis. The Storm Fleet was used to subjugate neutral worlds through sheer destructive capability, allowing the Separatists to take whatever resources or facilities they needed to continue the Clone Wars. The Storm Fleet was ultimately destroyed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with the help from their clone trooper pilots.
