Hypori/Legends

Hypori was a planet located in the Arkanis Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Hypori was a temperate world of small oceans and rocky landscapes.

Geology
The planet had no native population, but following the Battle of Naboo, Hypori was transformed into a foundry world for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The planet was located near Geonosis, another world hosting Techno Union droid factories, and an entire hive of Geonosian workers was relocated to Hypori in a sponsored effort by Baktoid Armor Workshop to construct and maintain the new Separatist facilities. The tough bedrock and soil proved difficult to assimilate into a true and proper hive-mound, though the Geonosian workers eventually created huge underground factories. The existence of these droid factories was kept secret from the Republic during the leadup to the Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars
Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi, uncovered the Separatist operations on Hypori during an intelligence-gathering mission in the sector. They reported back to the Jedi Council on Coruscant, which dispatched a Jedi and clone trooper strike team to investigate further.

Unfortunately for the Republic forces, the Separatists had not left Hypori undefended. Disguised orbital mines seeded in orbit crippled much of the task force, and the surviving Jedi&mdash;among them Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti, K'Kruhk, and Aayla Secura&mdash;were ambushed by legions of B2 super battle droids and OG-9 homing spider droids led by General Grievous. The ruined hulk of an Acclamator-class assault ship that had crashed into Hypori's surface became the site of an epic battle between Grievous and the Jedi, from which only four Jedi emerged alive, with the help of ARC Captain Fordo and the Muunilinst 10. Though some of the battle droids were destroyed during the rescue attempt, the droid factories on Hypori remained in operation, and at least one survived after Darth Vader ordered the deactivation of the Separatist droid armies from Mustafar.

Galactic Civil War
The planet was abandoned until the Hutt Cartel learned of a droid factory that had survived the ages. They lured the Zann Consortium to the planet's surface, hoping to deactivate the hostile droideka Mark IIs for them so that Jabba's forces could land and gain control of the planet, in the process killing Tyber Zann. However, the plan backfired, and cost Jabba much. The Consortium then used the technology on this planet to produce droideka Mark IIs.
