The New Confederacy military also known as the New CIS Armed Forces is the military for the New Confederacy of Independent Systems (New CIS) which operates during The Last of the Droids It has two main branches—the New Separatist Droid Army, and the New Confederate Navy—but consists of an amalgam of military forces from the various allied organizations of the New Confederacy, with battle droids as their infantry. The New Confederate Head of State holds supreme authority at a civilian level as Commander-in-Chief, while military authority was chiefly under the purview of the Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies, OOM-85.

Army[]
Perhaps the largest droid army ever assembled, the army of the New CIS outnumber the clone soldiers of the Galactic Empire 100 to 1. The army is cobbled together from the droid soldiers of the Commerce Guild, the Corporate Alliance, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, the Techno Union, and the Trade Federation.
Though the New Confederacy makes use of a wide variety of droid soldiers, chief amongst these are the B2 Super Battle Droids and the ubiquitous B1 Battle Droids, which see combat in countless battles of the war.

As with the army, the New Confederate Navy is an amalgam of the militaries from which it originated. In spite of this, however, the backbone of the navy is comprised of a relatively small number of capital ship classes, including Recusant-class light destroyers, Munificent-class star frigates, Lucrehulk-class battleships and their droid control variants, as well as their C-9979 Landing Craft. The fleet is led by the Malevolence II and the Challenger
The capital ship fleet is augmented by its legions of starfighters, which were composed largely of Droid Tri-Fighters and, in particular, Vulture-class droid starfighters.
The original Confederate Navy was also home to a number of experimental heroic superweapons throughout the war. One of these was the Malevolence, a massive Subjugator-class heavy cruiser equipped with a pair of ion pulse cannons designed to disable villainous Republic capital ships. The Malevolence was later destroyed at the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula. Grievous made a twin sister flagship, the Malevolence II in memory of his fallen Malevolence.
