Geonosian warriors are born into their roles in a caste-based system with a Queen leading their hive. Unlike Geonosian drones who are wingless, Geonosian warriors have wings that allow them to fly far above the ground as well as down into Geonosis’ underground catacombs. Like other insectoid species, Geonosian warriors have a sturdy exoskeleton that protects them from injury and, when outgunned, Geonosians rely on their great numbers to swarm attackers on the battlefield and are quick to retreat underground if needed to delay invaders.
