The Geonosian spy , a male individual , was a member of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars , and served under the command of Warlord Poggle the Lesser , the Archduke of Geonosis . During the Second Battle of Geonosis around 22 BBY , the Geonosian was located in a droid foundry , which manufactured battle droids to the Separatist Droid Army , when it was surrounded by Galactic Republic forces . The spy was sleeping in a small hall in the catacombs beneath the foundry , when the Jedi Padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee stumbled across the hall . The pair was tasked with destroying the main generator of the foundry , which would cause the whole factory to collapse . When the Padawans tried to sneak past the hall , the sleeping Geonosian spy unknowingly placed his hand on Offee ' s head , who quickly halted . The Jedi managed to escape and the pair continued their journey , but the Geonosian awoke only seconds after . Unsure about the situation , he armed himself with a Geonosian sonic blaster and started to follow the Jedi . He soon caught up with them , and , staying unseen , spied on the Padawans and heard them speaking about their mission to destroy the generator . The spy then quickly ran to report to Poggle the Lesser , who was conferring with his T - series tactical droid TX - 21 . After the Geonosian spy revealed the presence of the Jedi duo to the Warlord and the droid , TX - 21 questioned how the Jedi managed to get past the security of the foundry . Poggle the Lesser nonetheless ordered the Jedi to be stopped , and left to confront Offee and Tano with TX - 21 , couple of Geonosian warriors and a super tank . Despite this , the generator was eventually destroyed by the Jedi , and the factory was ruined by the following explosion . Personality and traits .
