Uprising on Geonosis

Archduke Poggle the Lesser covertly instigated an uprising on Geonosis that saw Geonosian drones riot. In doing so, Poggle would be able 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.
