Saw brings them up along with a bunch of other rebel-sympathizing factions, but in a derogatory fashion. CIS worlds were the first ones to get beaten down by the Empire in the aftermath of the Clone War, and those systems were definitely a hotbed of pro-rebellion sentiment.

Severe asset underutilization on the rebel’s part tbh, they could have an entire legion of box-stackers if they wanted
Wilmon’s dad was a Separatist sympathizer, that’s how he met with luthen and got his radio equipment. Cassian was also a CIS partisan in the old lore too
