Additionally, a variety of crates and barriers provide ample cover for intense firefights all throughout the canyons, as well as the rest of the map. A powered-down AT-TE can also be found here in Galactic Assault. Inside the canyons are two winding caves that can be utilized as effective flanking routes in the midst of chaotic close-quarters combat.Ī forward command center is located on one side of the canyons whilst on the other, wreckages of fallen AT-TEs and LAAT Gunships serve as grim reminders of the harsh realities of the Clone Wars. Behind the canyon entrance, and past the map's boundaries, is the door to Trippa Hive's droid factory: the focal point of Galactic Assault's storyline on this map. The canyons are positioned atop a rocky hill, overlooking much of the vast battlefront beyond them.
The map can be broken up into three parts: the canyons, the plains, and the core ship perimeter.
These hives were home to thousands of Geonosians, an insectoid species native to the planet, who aided the Separatists in the construction of their Battle Droids.
Trippa Hive is modelled after the numerous hive colonies found on the planet Geonosis, that can be seen throughout the Star Wars universe. A statue of a Geonosian warrior inside the canyons of Trippa Hive.
