Whether you are new to Star Wars Galaxies or one of the Veterans, the Geonosian Bunker is one of the best places to visit in-game. Bothan spies have intercepted transmissions from an Imperial Officer named Lt. Harmon Vintollo in Kadaara and an undercover Rebel operative in a hotel in Tyrena named Teraeza Furloti. They both speak of a hidden biogenics lab run by the Geonosians. The information was leaked to the holonet so we are able to re-transmit to you here:

Lately, rumors have been floating around about a secret Geonosian biogenics research lab where the Geonosians were experimenting on creatures, giving them horrible powers. Some creatures were being engineered for use in the Geonosian execution arena. There are even Acklay being twisted for their foul purposes. Other, more sinister creations such as mutated Kwi's and Klikniks with force powers were being developed for use as minions of Sith. This base is quite real and is hidden.

Recent seismic events have compromised the base's integrity, disabling the holo-generators that hid the entrance to the complex. The tremors have also caused minor cave-ins, structural collapses and sporadic power loses resulting in mass chaos throughout the complex.

The base's security system seems to be malfunctioning; the sentry droids have gone berserk, there are toxic leaks in areas and stores of volatile materials that could explode at any moment, large chunks of falling rocks constantly fall from overhead...not to mention the genetically engineered monstrosities roaming the hallways...

The Geonosian Bunker has several NPC's that players can interact with to find the dungeon while staying immersed in their game play. The hidden bunker on Yavin 4 was commonly used to mutate many creatures such as the Acklay. A report states that a mutated Acklay was released by the Geonosians on Yavin 4 close to the laboratory, possibly as a deterrent to prying eyes. The Imperials, the Rebels, and criminal syndicates want to steal the Lab's technology.

Soon after the Battle of Yavin 4, word spread around the Galaxy about this secret Geonosian biogenics research lab where Geonosian scientists were experimenting on creatures and mutating them for use in the Geonosian execution arena. Other, more disturbing creations such as mutated Klikniks and Kwi's were being created as well. This was a well-hidden base in Yavin 4's immense jungle, where the location has been verified.
