Poggle the Lesser was a Geonosian who served as the Archduke of Geonosis and one of the leaders of the Separatist Alliance.
== Biography ==
=== Separatist Crisis ===
During the Separatist Crisis in 22 BBY, Poggle the Lesser made the decision for Geonosis to join the Separatist Alliance. The Archduke hosted a meeting between Dooku and several politicians and businessmen in the Stalgasin Hive Spires. During the meeting, major organisations and governments agreed to join the Separatists. 
Not longer after, Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala and Obi-Wan Kenobi were caught in the Spires and arrested before being sentenced to death in the Petranaki Arena. Poggle hosted the execution, but it was cut short when the Jedi and the Clone Army arrived and freed the prisoners before attacking the Separatist forces on the planet, starting the Clone Wars. 
During the battle, the Separatist Council hid in a bunker. Inside the bunker, Poggle gave Dooku the plans for a superweapon that the Geonosians were hoping to develop for the Separatists.
=== Death ===
Towards the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY, the Separatist Council fled to Mustafar. However, they were betrayed by their secret ally, Darth Sidious and were assassinated by Anakin Skywalker, who had recently been turned to the Dark Side of the Force. Sidious was also Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and had been secretly playing both sides of the war in order to achieve his goal and establish the Galactic Empire. 
=== Legacy ===
The weapon that the Geonosians were hoping to build for the Separatists would later be constructed by the Galactic Empire under the name of the Death Star.
