A droid factory, which was under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, existed within the Trippa hive situated on the planet Geonosis. During the First Battle of Geonosis, which marked the start of the Clone Wars between the Confederacy and the Galactic Republic, a demolition unit from the Republic took possession of this factory.
Consequently, the Confederacy's military forces initiated a siege targeting the factory, leading to the assignment of the remaining clone trooper strike team to the critical task of repelling the droid forces. Their objective was to stop the Confederacy from regaining authority over the factory.
