Poggle the Lesser

Poggle the Lesser was a Geonosian who served as the Archduke of Geonosis and a member of the Separatist Council.

Separatist Crisis
During the Separatist Crisis in 22 BBY, Poggle the Lesser made the decision for Geonosis to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Archduke hosted a meeting between Dooku and several politicians and businessmen in the Stalgasin Hive Spires. During the meeting, major organisations and planets agreed to join the Confederacy.

Clone Wars
The Battle of Geonosis took place soon after. During the battle, the Separatist Council hid in a bunker. Inside the bunker, Poggle gave Dooku the plans for a superweapon that the Geonosians were hoping to develop.

Towards the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY, the Separatist Council fled to Mustafar. However, they were betrayed by Darth Sidious and were assassinated by Darth Vader.
