The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2472: Geonosian Uprising (Part )

2473: Geonosian Uprising (Part )

Bogle - The Lowborn, current Grand Commander of the Geonosians.

Just like his name, he is a 'lowlife'.

Although the Geonosians are a swarm race, they possess a certain hive consciousness or Gestalt consciousness, but each individual retains a very full degree of independence, so they are both the same and different from other intelligent races.

To be precise, Geonosians are a "half-insect race" or a "sub-insect race". Their basic structure is the caste structure, which is roughly divided into supervisory caste, noble caste, warrior caste, engineer caste, service caste, labor caste, peasant caste, and the lowest slave caste, as well as a special undead caste.

Among them, the supervisory and noble castes are the "upper class", the engineer and warrior castes are the "middle class", and the labor caste, service caste and peasant caste are the "lower class".

And these castes are basically determined at birth.

All Geonosian reproduction is carried out by the Queen. When in reproductive mode, the Queen can lay an egg every 8 seconds. Depending on the needs of the race, the Queen produces different eggs. For example, in a state of war, she will produce a large number of warrior caste eggs, and in the production and construction stage, she will produce labor caste eggs.

The Queen of the Underworld manages the various castes and tribes through the queens of the next level. The queens have a certain degree of hive consciousness connection with their respective tribes, allowing these queens to establish their own authority. The coercive nature of this hive consciousness connection is not very strong, so the individuals also maintain a high degree of independence. Some strong-willed individuals are basically not bound by this hive consciousness. In addition, under special circumstances, the Geonosian queen can use the hive consciousness to revive the Geonosians who have just died to fight.

The higher the caste, the lower the constraint of the hive consciousness. For example, the noble caste and the supervisor caste, the higher independence gives them more independent thinking ability, thus promoting the continuous development of the race.

At the same time, when Geonosians of different castes are conceived, they will also receive some basic knowledge of their caste from the queen through the hive consciousness. This is also the most important means of inheritance for Geonosians.

Therefore, although they are an insect-like race, the Geonosians have developed a very brilliant civilization. In the Outer Rim star regions where the development of civilization is generally backward, the Geonosians can be said to be one of the races with the most advanced technology and industry!

This point is easily overlooked by others, because they really look like a group of mindless Zerg.

At the same time, Geonosians are also a violent race who love fighting. In their spare time, Geonosians like to order lower castes to fight brutally in the arena to please upper castes.

A small number of people who perform well in combat can even cross castes and upgrade from the labor caste to the warrior caste.

But in general, Geonosians are basically content with their own class status quo. For example, the labor caste, they are born into extremely heavy labor, and their genes and body structure also allow them to meet the labor needs to the maximum extent. In fact, if there is not enough work for them to do, Geonosians of the labor caste will die in large numbers, thus freeing up population and saving resources.

However, there are always some outliers. They are strong-willed and not bound by the Queen's hive consciousness. As a result, they will be more independent and often think independently. Most of the time, such people are the elite of the Geonosians and can make great contributions to the development of the tribe.

However, Poggle the Lesser is a completely different person. As his name suggests, he is a lower caste, whether he is a laborer or a farmer, it is unknown. But he has a strong will, independent thinking, and more importantly, he has outstanding leadership skills.

Under his leadership, the Geonosians launched an unprecedented revolution - the Bogle, a lower caste, actually led the laborers, peasants and slaves to overthrow the rule of the upper caste, and then turned the tables to become the master and the commander-in-chief of the Geonosians!

This revolution was indeed supported by Count Dooku, but it is a miracle among miracles that a race with a certain hive consciousness could actually achieve a revolution from the lower to the upper.

After this, Porgel-Less led the Geonosians to join Count Dooku's separatist movement and became one of the core races of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Porgel-Less has huge ambitions. He hopes to lead the Geonosians to become the overlords of the Outer Rim, and he joins Count Dooku for this purpose.

Under his leadership, the technological and industrial power of the Geonosians fully exploded, and more than half of the B-1 battle robots and B-2 super battle robots of the Confederacy of Independent Systems were all made by Geonosians.

Not only that, the Geonosians have also completed the research and development of the main structure of the DS-1 battle station, and have also cooperated with the Tech Alliance to develop advanced weapons such as super tanks and B-3 combat robots. They also have the ability to build capital ships and interstellar fighters, but the output is very low compared to robots.

However, as the Clone Wars continued to advance, the scientific research and industrial core of the Confederacy of Independent Systems gradually moved towards Dawn, which made Porgel-Lower feel a great threat. The most important action was Dawn's occupation of Christophsis and maintaining a strong influence on Tatooine.

Both planets are close to Geonosis, which makes Pogel-Lower uneasy.

As Count Dooku and Darth Sidious drifted apart, Porgel Lesser believed that the war was doomed to fail, so he secretly colluded with Walter Tambor, the chief foreman of the Techno Union who held the same view, and quietly sided with Darth Sidious.

The Geonosians are actually important members of the Techno Union, so the relationship between Porgel-Lowlife and Vought-Temper has always been good.

At this time, the Galactic Republic's fleet had attacked the planet Geonosis for the second time, and under the leadership of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, they broke into the planet's robot factory and destroyed their super tank research and development center.

The overwhelming force of the Republic fleet led by the Jedi Knights finally made Porgel the Lesser and Walter Tambor determined to surrender secretly to Palpatine, the Speaker of the Galactic Republic.

Palpatine also saw the fear in their hearts through the Force and threatened them to plow the Techno Union's planets of Skako and Geonosis into the ground. In extreme fear, the two accepted all the conditions proposed by Palpatine. The condition was to help him complete the construction of the DS-1 battle station.

At this time, problems also arose within the Geonosians. The upper castes that had been defeated by the Bogle-lower began to stir, preparing to overthrow the rule of the Bogle-lower and reshape the caste system of the Geonosians.

Weakened by the war, the Porgel-Lowers feared that they would be unable to cope with the counterattack of the Upper Castes, so, under the instigation of Darth Sidious, they made a very cruel decision - he planned to kidnap Queen Karina the Great, and then have the Galactic Republic's fleet bombard the planet Geonosis, completely destroying the planet and also eliminating most of the Geonosians.

After that, he will be able to control Emperor Kalina and rebuild Geonosian society with himself as the core. In this way, he will become the supreme ruler of the entire race, and no one will be able to shake his position.

Porgel-The Lowlife's operation was half successful. He successfully kidnapped Emperor Kalina and took her to the planet Talasiya, hatching a large number of Geonosians, a labor caste, to secretly build the DS-1 battle space station for Darth Sidious.

However, Darth Sidious did not fulfill his promise. Although the Confederation of Independent Systems quickly collapsed after the Dawn Planet withdrew from the war, the Geonosians who lost Emperor Carina could not get population replenishment and suffered heavy losses.

However, the Galactic Empire was wary of the Kingdom of Dawn's power in the southern part of the galaxy, especially the threat posed by Christophsis on its flank, so they did not destroy Geonosis, but instead focused their energy on Lynos and prepared to rebuild the 14th Army.

At the same time, the leaderless Geonosians had nowhere to go and could only turn to Tang Xiao for help. Tang Xiao immediately understood that this conspiracy was made by Darth Sidious to promote the construction of the Death Star. Although the method was different from the original plot, the purpose was exactly the same.

So Tang Xiao began to invest money to support these Geonosians, and they began to unite around a Geonosian engineer named Gizor Dellso, and began the long journey to find the queen of their race.

Ganzo-Dawso belongs to the Engineer caste and is a "middle man". However, since the Engineer caste requires a lot of innovative work, the hive consciousness of this caste is very weak. Ganzo-Dawso is a gifted and strong-willed person. He became one of the chief engineers of the Geonosians very early.

He designed and manufactured the central control system of the B-1 combat robot for the Trade Federation. The B-1 combat robot has an emergency shutdown command, which requires that all B-1 combat robots can be shut down with one command.

This was originally a countermeasure taken by the Trade Federation in response to concerns about robot rebellion, requiring all B-1 combat robots in the entire galaxy to be shut down instantly. So this system looks simple, but in fact it is extremely complex and huge, and Ganzo-Doso has done a good job. This system is called the Signal Override Apparatus.

In the original plot, under the order of Darth Sidious, Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray used the signal override system to shut down all the robot armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, bringing the war to an instant end. However, Ganzo Dawso was unwilling to accept defeat, and he restarted many combat robots and raised the banner of rebellion on Mustafar.

Ganzo-Doso also showed excellent command ability at this time. He commanded the robot army to cause great trouble to the Galactic Empire.

Finally, after several years of hard struggle, he was finally killed by Darth Vader on the planet Mustafar. He was also one of the generals who resisted to the end of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

In this universe, since Newt Gunray chose to resist to the end and did not shut down the combat robots, Ganzo Doso did not stand up against the Galactic Empire.

However, Tang Xiao, who knew this part of the story, understood that Ganzo Dauso was a very trustworthy person and worth investing in. Compared to the capricious and ambitious Bogel-Inferior, Ganzo Dauso was determined, kept his promises, and was tenacious. He was the best candidate to lead the Geonosians.

The fact that Bogel-the-Inferior betrayed his race and kidnapped Emperor Kalina became the best opportunity for Tang Xiao to interfere in the internal affairs of the Geonosians.

He asked the Military Intelligence Department to do everything it could to cooperate with Ganzo-Dawso's actions. This would kill two birds with one stone. It could support the revival of the Geonosians, thereby bringing this excellent engineering race into the scope of the Fourth Civilization, and at the same time find the construction location of the Death Star.

Ganzo Doso also told Tang Xiao that as long as he could get the brains of the Geonosians who had just been hatched by Emperor Kalina, he could place the brains on the altar of the Geonosian holy land and find the location of Emperor Kalina through the connection of the hive consciousness.

But in the past few years, despite the best efforts of the Dawn Kingdom's military intelligence department, no Geonosian has been found outside of the planet Geonosius.

However, as an old saying from the Dawn Planet goes: If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. There is nothing perfect in this universe, and naturally there are no secrets that cannot be explored at all.

On the planet of Talasia, Orson Krennic and Wilhuff Tarkin were vying for control of the DS-1 battle station project. At the behest of Orson Krennic, Porgel Lesser instigated Geonosian laborers to launch a riot against Wilhuff Tarkin.

The riot destroyed months of work, caused hundreds of casualties, and gave Orson Krennic an excuse to drive Wilhuff Tarkin off the planet of Talasia.

It was for this reason that Nova, an agent from the Military Intelligence Department of the Kingdom of Dawn, found the clue.

She found a Geonosian who wanted to sneak away in the corner of the cabin of an engineering ship that originally belonged to Wilhuff Tarkin!

Without any hesitation, Nova brought the Geonosian back to Geonosian and handed him over to Ganzo-Dawso.

And this Geonosian who was immediately executed also ignited the spark of an uprising with a huge impact!
