Poggle the Lesser

Poggle the Lesser was a Geonosian Leader who established the Confederacy of Independent Systems along with Count Dooku, Nute Gunray, Wat Tambor, Shu Mai and San Hill. Poggle was a central part of the council as the leader of the Geonosians as he allowed Tambor's Techno Union to establish massive droid factories on Geonosis that would mass-produce cheap droids.

Poggle led his race and his particular fleet in the CIS throughout the Clone War, and was moved to Mustafar along with many of the other Seperatist leaders by General Grievous, after Darth Sidious suggested that the Republic would soon find them. After the death of Grievous, Poggle saw Nute Gunray ascend to become the leader of the Seperatist Movement but, not long after, the newly-appointed sith apprentice Darth Vader arrived on Mustafar.

The Council had been told that Vader had been sent there to protect them but little did they know that Vader was in fact there to tie up loose ends - i.e. kill all the remaining Seperatist Leaders and end the war. During Vader's massacre of the Seperatists, Poggle attempted to defend himself with his staff whilst pleading with the Sith for mercy, but Vader simply sliced through the staff and bisected the old Geonosian.
