The Planet Killer was a large, spherical superweapon designed to destroy the planet it was detonated upon. In the year 22 BBY, during the Clone Wars, the Planet Killer's designer attempted to sell the superweapon to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Count Dooku, the leader of the Separatist movement, arranged for the Planet Killer to be tested on a planet home to a number of living organisms. However, unbeknownst to the Separatists, Jedi Master Mace Windu disabled the Planet Killer before it could be activated, and Dooku, considering the Planet Killer to have failed its test, had the superweapon's designer taken prisoner.
