While skimming the star wars databank I found this:

 

The design of the capital ships in Episode III take the visual iconography of the classic trilogy and spins it around. The triangular ships now denote the "good guys" and smoother, organic shapes belong to the "bad guys." To that end, concept artists looked to unused Joe Johnston designs of Rebel starships from Return of the Jedi. While such a visual directive suggests a link between the Separatists and the Alliance, it is not yet known if there is meant to be a literal connection between the starships of the Confederacy and those used years later by the Rebellion.

Doubt, this will have any implications to this game, but now maybe it could make some sense to mod some of the seperatist ships to the alliance side.

The Seperatists were absorbed into the Empire and the Alliance ships were old ships which they captured from the empire so the rubbish ones would be in the alliance and anyway the Mon Cal Cruisers are passenger liners refitted with weapons.

assuming or is it said somewhere?

 

I'm not sure, I could see either argument. The Imps would need powerful ships quick. But then again as the empire grew it would more than likely trash the old CIS ships as it upgraded and they would fall into Rebel hands.

The seperatists actually turn into the rebellion as you see in Episode III. Because Padme herself realizes that she is on the wrong side and thats why she asks anakin if they are really on the right side. The republic turns into the empire because Palpatine declares it as the Galatic Empire, and therfore they get the triangular ships and the rebels get the organic vessels.

 

So even though the seperatists looked like bad guys in the prequel, they may have been the ones who saw through the corruption in the senate. The corruption Palpatine spearheaded.

Well, in Episode III all the more sinister leaders of the Seperatists are dead. Grievous, Dooku, and the Viceroy of the Trade Federation. It makes sense that as the Rebellion got started they assimilated the remnants of the seperatists, after all they're both fighting the corruption that the Republic has become. They're war aims may be different but much of their political thinking remains the same.

I disagree on that point. The sepertists were only in it for 1 thing, and that was the rewards that they were going to get, once the Republic surrendered. That's all they cared about in Ep 3 when they were talking to Sidius, b4 Vader came in and chopped them all to bits. Because they were the Dark Lords pawns, he would have easily absorbed them back into the empire. I think the Rebellion started pretty much from scratch. Perhaps they accuired some old Clone wars ships and equitment, but i think that's as far as it goes.

The point between Ep III and IV was over 30 years (correct me if I'm wrong). The rebellion was VERY small at the time of Yavin. It wasn't untill AFTER Ep III that Mon Motha, Organa, and Bel Ibis formed the Rebellion. When they did do that, the Empire had total control of the galaxy, including the old CIS planets.

*shrugs* Modding?

 

Anyway, I doubt that the Separatists were truly absorbed into the Rebellion, or the Empire. Just as they did with the Jedi Knights, the Empire was furiously determined to utterly exterminate any enemy, or potential enemy to the state, that might develop. The existence of Anakin's twins was the only undiscovered threat left that actually worried Palpatine as a threat to his power, if you recall. The Seperatists (due to their mainly automated military force) were annihilated by the Republic's armies, and their leadership was executed by Darth Vader; and truly, their only real goal was - in the words of Dooku - "unrestricted capitalism," or essentially, plunder. The Rebellion was started from scratch by dissident Republican Senators who still believed in liberal democracy, in the wake of Palpatine's fascist ambitions.

I think when it comes to the seperatist leftovers I can't see any problem in artistic license. I want to see (but will not get):

-Trade federation cruiser

-commerance guild frigate

-Banking clan frigate

as rebel units.

It believe it was Mon Mothma who spearheaded the true rebellion. The orginal seperatists were pawned, as was said earlier, by the emporer so that he could have reason to establish an Empire.

Mon Mothma was nothing more than a figurehead who had the diplomatic ability to ensure that different species worked together. The Real Person who made the rebellion was in fact the Corellian Senator Garm Bel-Iblis who made 3 large pirate groups into the initial rebellion force and coordinated them with the help of Advisors and members of Corsec who fought in the Clone Wars.
