A droid factory owned by the Confederacy of Independent Systems was located in the Trippa hive on the planet Geonosis. During the Battle of Geonosis, the opening battle between the Confederacy and the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars, a Republic demolitions crew occupied the factory. As a result, Confederacy forces laid siege to the factory, and the last remaining clone trooper strike team was charged with pushing back droid forces to prevent them from retaking control of the factory.
