GEONOSIS

Here are some of the creatures that call Geonosis home…


Geonosian’s

Geonosian’s are an insectoid species native to the harsh world of Geonosis. They have a hard exoskeleton, elongated faces, and multi-jointed limbs. They speak in language made up of multiple clicks.

There are two distinct species: the wingless drones that serve as general laborers; and the winged aristocrats, which include the royal warriors.

Geonosian’s use their droid foundries to build immense armies for beings wealthy enough to afford them. They have done business with both the Trade Federation and the Techno Union.

For entertainment, the Geonosian’s congregate in a massive executive arena to watch victims face off with savage creatures.

In the execution arena, the gigantic Acklay used powerful strikes from its claws to attack Obi-Wan Kenobi. The creature left large holes in the ground in its pursuit of the Jedi.

Massiff

Massiffs are carnivorous creatures standing approximately one meter in height. They have course skin, large toothy jaws, and dark eyes.

Massiffs are found on both Geonosis and on Tatooine, and both the Geonosian’s and the Tusken Raider’s have been able to domesticate these creatures.
