Sometime into the Clone Wars,[1] fought from 22 BBY until 19 BBY,[2] the Confederacy of Independent Systems' naval force had devised plans for a flotilla of Bulwark-class battle cruisers. The warships were secretly constructed under the supervision of Admiral Dua Ningo, a stalwart Separatist from the Commerce Guild's Sullustan Home Guard. Hoping to use them in battle against[1] the planet[3] Coruscant, Ningo had expected the flotilla's completion and functionality[1] by 20 BBY,[2] two years after the Battle of Geonosis kickstarted the conflict.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Bulwark flotilla was introduced in the current Star Wars canon in Rise of the Separatists, a 2019 supplement to Fantasy Flight Games' series of Star Wars Roleplaying products.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Bulwark Fleet was introduced in The New Essential Chronology, a 2005 reference book authored by Daniel Wallace and Kevin J. Anderson.[4]
