Legend

this planet, covered with rock-strewn landmasses broken by small oceans, was located near Geonosis. It was a world that was found to be rich in natural minerals and ores, which appealed to the Baktoid Armor Workshop as a source of raw material. The fact that Hypori supported no intelligent life made it easier for Baktoid to simply take ownership of the planet. In a bold move, Baktoid managed to ship an entire Geonosian hive to Hypori, allowing them to establish a colony on the planet for eventual use as a manufacturing facility. The foundries of Hypori augmented those of Geonosis after the onset of the Clone Wars, until the planet was discovered nearly three years later by Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi. A task force was dispatched to Hypori by the Jedi Council and the Army of the Republic, but it was smashed by General Grievous before it could reach the surface.
