Geonosians

Geonosians are a sentient insectoid species native to the planet Geonosis. They are characterized by their chitinous exoskeletons, antennae, and multifaceted eyes. Geonosians live in hive-like colonies, with a rigid social structure dominated by a Queen. Individual Geonosians are typically workers or warriors, dedicated to serving the colony and their Queen.

The Geonosians possess a distinct language and culture, deeply rooted in their communal lifestyle. They are known for their engineering and architectural prowess, constructing vast underground hives and elaborate fortress complexes. Their technology is often organic in nature, integrating with their biological capabilities.

Geonosian society is highly militaristic. Warriors are equipped with specialized weapons and armor, and their hives are heavily fortified. This aggressive nature led them to become a significant force during the Clone Wars. They were the first species to align with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, providing crucial manufacturing and military support for the Separatist war machine. Their homeworld, Geonosis, became a pivotal battleground in the early stages of the conflict. The species played a key role in the construction of the original Death Star, showcasing their advanced engineering skills.
