Geonosis was the closest inhabited neighbour to Tatooine being located less than one parsec away. It is the second of five rocky worlds orbiting a yellow sun in the outer rim. The planet had four large outer moons and also eleven smaller. and closer, inner moons. It has a dense asteroid rings in equatorial orbit to which the smaller moons acted as tidal sheperds, and the planet regularly suffered from asteroid showers eminating from the rings. It is thought the rings were created by the destruction of a small inner moon in a collision with a two-kilometer wide comet. The rings were rich with mineral resources which were mined by the natives for use in local factories.
