The Galactic Republic's occupation of Geonosis was brought to a close by the Geonosians during the Clone Wars, leading to the defeat of a clone trooper garrison belonging to the Grand Army of the Republic. This defeat prompted the Republic to initiate a subsequent invasion of Geonosis, which then led to the Second Battle of Geonosis.
