A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

 

Under the Republic’s nose and funded by Separatist politicians, Archduke Poggle the Lesser has begun constructing a new droid factory on Geonosis. Once completed, this factory will have the capability to build battle droids at an unstoppable rate. No matter how skilled the Army of the Republic is, the Clones and Jedi will be no match for the millions of battle droids coming off the production lines.

 

Thanks to the work of Senator Amidala and General Skywalker, Poggle’s plan was uncovered by the Republic. But, before they could react, the small occupation force on Geonosis has been almost entirely wiped out by the resurgent Separatists. To answer this new threat an invasion force has been quickly assembled. In command are three Jedi generals: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ki-Adi-Mundi. 

 

Unbeknownst to the Republic, Count Dooku and his cyborg assassin, General Grievous have slipped through the Republic’s blockade and are commanding their forces from the planet. Thus begins the Second Battle of Geonosis.

 

Here, on the red sands that set the stage for the opening act of the Clone Wars, two titanic armies will do battle once more...
