What Poggle didn't know, however, was the true identity of Lord Sidious or that the very clones used to attack him were commissioned by Sidious and Tyranus. Poggle the Lesser, like Nute Gunray, was aware of the existence of Darth Sidious, but like Jango Fett, he also knew that Count Dooku was Darth Tyranus. Weaponry was one of Geonosis's primary trades and its production increased dramatically during Poggle's reign.

He carried with him a command staff which was rumored to be made from the bones of a murdered political rival-possibly a grim trophy from the execution of Hadiss the Vaulted.Īmong the Separatist Council, Poggle was the only member to be an actual head of state and military, giving him some insight into military strategy. As a member of the worker caste, Poggle most likely looked like an average Geonosian when he was younger it was believed that his current physique was normal for a Geonosian of advanced age, and few outside the higher castes likely ever lived that long.

At full height, Poggle stood almost as tall as Count Dooku. Poggle the Lesser was Human-sized and insectoid like all Geonosians, but his frame was slightly larger than his servants and he had a set of fleshy, beard-like tendrils growing around his mouth as well as a prominent head-crest. He would later be killed by Darth Vader, along with the rest of the Council. Like the rest of his ilk, Tambor was killed by Darth Vader on Mustafar he was notably seen cowering at the sight of the Sith Lord, unprepared now that karma had finally caught up with him.Poggle the Lesser was the Archduke of Geonosis before and during the Clone Wars, and was a leading member of the Separatist Council. When Echo was rescued, Tambor explicitly referred to the captive Clone as "Techno Union property" and fretted not at the disadvantage dealt to the Separatist war effort, but his own profit margin. He experimented on the POW Echo, and transformed the clone into a living computer who could project Republic strategies at the Separatists' behest.

His next major contribution to the war effort was just as vile. Captured only because he overstayed his allotted time in plundering the planet of its resources and valuables, Tambor soon escaped and resumed leadership of his company. Leading a savage occupation of Twi'lek homeworld Ryloth during the first year of the Clone Wars, Tambor ordered the planet's inhabitants to be used as human shields against Republic forces sent to liberate the planet. The head of the Techno Union, the corporation which designed most of the Separatists' weapons and battle droids, Wat Tambor took the principle of "profits over people" to its cruelest extreme.
