Hypori (pronounced /haɪ'poɹi/) was a planet located in the Arkanis Sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Hypori was a temperate world of small oceans and rocky landscapes.
Following the Battle of Naboo, Hypori was transformed into a foundry world for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The planet was located near Geonosis, another world hosting Techno Union droid factories, and an entire hive of Geonosian workers was relocated to Hypori in a sponsored effort by Baktoid Armor Workshop to construct and maintain the new Separatist facilities. The tough bedrock and soil proved difficult to assimilate into a true and proper hive-mound, though the Geonosian workers eventually created huge underground factories. The existence of these droid factories was kept secret from the Republic during the leadup to the Clone Wars.
Shortly after the onset of the Clone Wars, Jedi Master Daakman Barrek and his Padawan, Sha'a Gi, uncovered the Separatist operations on Hypori during an intelligence-gathering mission in the sector. They reported back to the Jedi Council on Coruscant, which dispatched a Jedi and clone trooper strike team to investigate further.
Unfortunately for the Republic forces, the Separatists had not left Hypori undefended. Disguised orbital mines seeded in orbit crippled much of the task force, and the surviving Jedi—among them Masters Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti and K'Kruhk,and Jedi Knight Aayla Secura —were ambushed by legions of battle droids led by General Grievous. The ruined hulk of an Acclamator-class assault ship that had crashed into Hypori's surface became the site of an epic battle between Grievous and the Jedi, from which only four Jedi emerged alive, with the help of Captain Fordo and the Muunilinst 10. Though many of the battle droids were destroyed during the rescue attempt, the droid factories on Hypori remained in operation, and it is unknown whether they were later destroyed by Republic forces, or were eventually shut down when Darth Vader ordered the deactivation of the Separatist droid armies from Mustafar.
