Geonosis primary droid foundry/Legends

"This investment by the Banking Clan will create unimaginable new war profits. The largest droid factory ever built.''" "''As long as the Republic doesn't find out."

- Senators Rush Clovis and Lott Dod discuss about Poggle the Lesser's newly-rebuilt primary droid foundry.

The Geonosis primary droid foundry was a droid foundry located on the planet of Geonosis. Funded by the InterGalactic Banking Clan and Trade Federation, Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser oversaw the construction of this ray shielded droid foundry, and saw it as his redemption. Around 22 BBY, the Galactic Republic orchestrated an attack to dispose the droid foundry. After the foundry's primary shield was deactivated by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his force, the Republic then planed to attack the foundry. Poggle and his tactical droid, TX-21, remained within the foundry, while the Republic fought Confederate battle droids and Geonosian fighters outside. However, Jedi Padawans Barriss Offee and Ahsoka Tano were completing a mission within the catacombs beneath the foundry, given to them by Skywalker and Jedi General Luminara Unduli. The mission was to destroy the main generator of the foundry, which, if destroyed, would cause the entire foundry to fall to its destruction. The two Padawans were successfully, although they had to use a super tank to destroy the main generator. While TX-21 was destroyed, Poggle escaped the destruction. The eradication of the Poggle's primary droid foundry crippled the Confederacy's advance on the planet, and soon many more droid foundries fell.
