The Geonosians

The Geonosians are an an insectoid species native to the planet of Geonosis. Geonosians resided in catacomb-like hive colonies beneath the organic-looking spires. The Geonosians use their manufactured armies and captured kaiju to invade the Earth, led by two unknown leaders.

Appearance
"What's a Geonosian?" "Overgrown insects with heavy weapons and bad attitudes."

Like many insectile species, Geonosians have a hard chitin exoskeleton that provides protection from physical impacts and bouts of radiation that occasionally showered their world, elongated faces and multi-jointed limbs. The physical attributes of a Geonosian tends to vary depending on the caste that they were born into. The head of a Geonosian is elongated and large with their skulls ridged on the top and by the side where they have bulbous, thick-lidded eyes. Normally, their skin is noted for being reddish in color and they have a slender frame.

In terms of movement, they are bipedal in nature and walk on two legs. The toe structure of their feet allows them to cling onto rock crags. However, most also possessleathery rapid fluttering wings that emerges from their bony shoulder blades. In some specimens, the wings are not used after their youth and service drones have vestigial wings. Geonosians stand between 1.6 to 1.8 meters in height.

Distribution
Geonosians live on the desert planet of Geonosis. Generally, Geonosians are reluctant to leave their hives which is one of the reasons why they are rarely encountered offworld. Despite this being the case, a few manage to purchase their way off their home planet. Some among their number include aristocrats and warriors.

Geonosians tend to live underground to escape the radiation that affects their world with this form of existence being also attributed to a hive's desire to hide from their rivals as well as the predators that live on their homeworld. Such underground Geonosian hives are traditionally concealed in the landscape and have natural forms to blend with the environment. Their dwellings are considered spectacular realms of architecture composed of soaring rocky spires that are carved from the landscape on the surface of their world. These hives make use of a rock paste that was cultivated from farms where the parasitic Phidna insects were found. This process allows the construction of soaring spires with an organic look that gives the appearance of melted bone. These newer spires hives are based on the mounds used by the aboriginal ancestors of the Geonosians. The hives are connected to one another by way of kilometer long populated tunnels that extended beneath the surface of the planet.

Intelligence
Geonosians varied in intelligence. Although some variations were low in intelligence, most were intelligent enough to make entire factories and produce armies of droids and machines. As well as this, some Geonosians were smart enough to be popular political leaders such as Poggle the Lesser.

History
Inside of the RPVerse, the Geonosians recently decided to invade Earth. After invasions of Chongqing China, Lima Peru, and Paris France, they approached The Viledrodes and made an alliance with them.
