Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
The Bombardment of Xorrn took place at the end of Clone Wars. In the years leading up the the Clone Wars, Geonosians constructed Geonosian hive factories in the planet's crust. The factories illegally produced millions of battle droids in secret. Shortly after the Clone Wars erupted, the Galactic Republic discovered the foundries on Xorrn. This led to numerous assaults on the planet, though all failed. At the end of the Clone Wars, the Republic decided Xorrn wasn't worth further losses and ordered an orbital bombardment of the droid foundries. This resulted in the loss of dozens of Core ships, picking up droid shipments. At least one factory, Foundry Four, survived the bombardment relatively intact.
