# Geonosis ## Overview Located 43000 light years from the Galactic Core, the almost uninhabitable planet of Genonosis sits as one of the major CIS droid factory planets in the Clone Wars. With a population of nearly 100 billion, with 99% of that number being the resident Genonosians, the planet is a harsh, rocky desert, with a breathable atmosphere. The sky is tinted bright shades of red due to its 2 suns. Orbited by 15 moons, and an asteroid belt. Underneath the great spires and arid climate, lay a massive tunnel system stretching for thousands of miles. ## Society and Culture Genonosis, though controlled by a monarchy, are all connected through an ancient hive mind. Each Geonosian is connected to one another through the queen. They can apparently speak telepathically through one another. ## Government Led by the CIS backed leader Poggle the Lesser, the billions of Genonosians serve under him as a sort of spawn. Rumors are told of a hive queen who is the heart of all hive mind on the planet.
