In fact, there were far too many races in this galaxy whose appearances were deceptive.
Take the Wookiees, for example—big, burly, covered in fur, and resembling apes. Their scientists had overcome technical challenges to create the Decimator prototype, which was also the earliest technological foundation for the Death Star's superlaser. Or The Givin, with their exoskeletons and faces resembling Screams; they were the race with the most advanced mathematics in the entire galaxy.
The Geonosians were one of them.
They looked like a swarm of locusts, and the armor they wore was chitin armor made through biotechnology. At a glance, it looked as though they were not wearing anything at all. A race like that showed no trace of civilization at first sight. Coupled with the fact that their planet's surface was utterly barren, they looked even more like a colony of insects.
Yet in reality, the Geonosians were one of the most industrially advanced races in the galaxy, and countless mechanical factories covered the underground of their planet. These insects were even capable of constructing the Death Star's framework. On that point alone, fewer races in the galaxy than could be counted on two hands could match them.
Now, the code Ganzo Dauso had given the Black Lotus unit looked as concise and efficient as art itself to their hackers.
In the original storyline, Ganzo Dauso had been able to forcibly activate a large number of battle droids even after they had been shut down, holding out against the Galactic Empire for several years. That was the level of technical ability he possessed.
After the Black Lotus hackers implanted this code into the Galactic Empire's command system, things became even more interesting, just as expected.
At the construction sites on Tarassia and the Death Star, millions of engineering droids
