―Orson Krennic and Archduke Poggle the Lesser^[src]

In 19 BBY, Archduke Poggle the Lesser instigated a riot of Geonosian drones in order to escape the custody of the Galactic Republic and flee to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The riot, which allowed the Geonosian Archduke to escape successfully, also sabotaged the top-secret construction project in orbit of Geonosis.^[1]
