Geonosis is a fictional planet from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
It is the home planet of the Geonosians, and the site of the Battle of Geonosis. Geonosis is ruled by Poggle the Lesser.
The planet was located less than one parsec from Tatooine. In many ways the planet was similar to Tatooine, as in that it was a rocky, desert world. One notable difference was that the planet had large and dense rings in orbit. When Jango Fett was being chased by Obi-Wan Kenobi he went into the rings in order to loose Kenobi amongst the rocks that made up the belt.
Much of the planet's architechure consists of domes and buildings built into caverns and rock spires, that look similar to termite mounds.
