Golbah hive, a significant city situated on the planet of Geonosis, also functioned as an important hive for the Geonosian species. This hive, one of the ten leading hives, exerted considerable power over the planet's political system. Ultimately, it met its end through destruction. During the Galactic Empire's sterilization of Geonosis circa 9 BBY, the Geonosian population suffered near-total annihilation, with only one surviving the massacre.
Within established Star Wars canon, the initial reference to Golbah hive appeared in the 2015 publication Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know. The hive's origins trace back to the Star Wars Legends timeline, specifically in Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, a 2004 resource for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game by Wizards of the Coast.
