Geonosis

Geonosis is a desert planet in the fictional universe of Star Wars. Located in the Outer Rim, it orbits the star Ea. The Clone Wars, a major feature of the Star Wars universe, began when the Galactic Republic invaded Geonosis, then in the hands of the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although entirely covered by a red desert, Geonosis is the home planet of the Geonosians. They are renowned for the quality of the combat droids they produce and supply to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, of which they are a founding member. It appears in just one Star Wars film, Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Scenes set on the planet are created using inlays and digital special effects. The planet's landscapes are inspired by the American West. In addition to the films, Geonosis is featured in the TV series The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Book of Boba Fett, in the novelizations of the film in which it appears, as well as in several novels, video games, and comic books.
