After the Clone Wars ended and Darth Sidious took Anakin Skywalker as his new apprentice,
Darth Vader, he sent Vader to kill the remaining separatist leaders on Mustafar.
During the slaughter, there was one Separatist leader who managed to escape the area and
hide on mustafar, evading Darth Vader.
So who was this separatist leader and how did he survive the killing of the separatist
council?
I’m going to break down the full story of Gizor Dellso and how he almost reactivated
the separatist droid army.

Gizor Dellso was a Geonosian separatist who served as the highest ranking engineer of
the droid army.
Dellso was the one who designed and constructed a master signal system for the droid army,
which would allow every single separatist droid to be shut down with a single switch.
The reason Darth Sidious gave to him for the construction of this switch was so that the
droid army could be shut down, in case the Republic managed to hack into the separatist
systems and turn the droids against the separatists.
When the news reached Gizor Dellso that Darth Vader was travelling to Mustafar to shut down
the droid army and to force them surrender to the Republic, he was not happy whatsoever.
He was extremely angry that his creation was being used to surrender and ultimately lose
the war.
When Darth Vader arrived at the separatist mining fortress where he slaughtered the separatist
leaders on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith, Dellso swiftly made his way into a small compartment
below the building.
When he escaped into this hiding place, he took stolen data plans for an experimental
imperial starfighter.
Dellso knew that to escape the facility without being instantly decimated by an enraged Darth
Vader, he would need some protection.
Because of this, he reactivated a hidden droid factory near the mining facility that he was
hiding out in, and started to produce thousands of new battle droids.
After beginning production, he realised that with this hidden facility, he could create
his own private army of droids, to take his revenge on Darth Vader and Darth Sidious.
Because he was the one who created the shutdown signal system, he was able to alter it so
that it did not affect the new droids that he was creating for his own army.
During the creation process of these new droids, he even started to experiment with new prototype
droid designs, in hopes of one day bringing the separatist army back.
This guy was completely crazy and I love it.
After some years had passed, the Empire and Vader finally became aware of the hidden separatist
and his exact location on the planet Mustafar.
Vader quickly dispatched his 501st legion to eliminate Dellso and destroy his droids.
When the 501st arrived at the orbit of Mustafar, they were confronted by a fleet of Dellso’s
droids which were designed to board Star Destroyers.
Some of the droids then began drilling their way into the 501st ship, but the clones managed
to stop and destroy many of them.
After defeating these space droids, the 501st moved down onto the surface of Mustafar, where
they again came face to face with Dellso’s rogue droids.
The 501st then received Orders directly from Vader to destroy every single droid they come
across, or they would risk restarting the Clone Wars once again.
Dellso began to return fire at the 501st Clone Troopers, but was unfortunately overwhelmed
by their firepower and killed.
After the 501st collected the body of the separatist leader, they returned to their
Star Destroy and performed an orbital bombardment on Mustafar, destroying the mining facility
and droid factory that was producing these new droids.
And probably along with many of the natives on the planet.
After the mission, one of the members of the 501st leaked his audio journal, where he recorded
his thoughts on the event.
This journal tells us that the Clones of the 501st were expecting a very easy fight against
the Seperatist leader, but they were shocked to learn just how dangerous it actually was.
The journal can be heard in the old Battlefront II game, but I’ll play it for you now: Lord
Vader tracked him to Mustafar, and brought us in to finish the job.
It seemed like a simple enough mission, but when we saw the fleet of droid ships hovering
over the planet, we suddenly realized that Delso's denial mechanisms were a little more
dangerous than we'd imagined
It’s always chilling to hear the experiences of the Clones after the War and the personal
missions that the 501st were sent on by Darth Vader.
So that is the story of the Separatist leader who managed to escape Darth Vader when he
killed the separatists on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith
