Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Geonosis, called Geonosia by some natives, was a ringed, rocky desert planet in the Arkanis sector of the Outer Rim Territories. The home planet of the insectoid Geonosians, it was known for its droid factories and violent gladiatorial games. Geonosis was a major stronghold of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, due to it hosting major droid foundries. It was the site of the Battle of Geonosis, the opening conflict of the Clone Wars, in 22 BBY.
