Mips were minute parasitic creatures found on the arid planet Geonosis in the Outer Rim Territories. They traveled in swarms and formed a symbiotic relationship with the enormous merdeths[1] that dominated Geonosis's barren exterior.[2] Mips fed on the ichor found on their own bodies and between the carpace of the merdeths.[1] The Galactic Empire sterilized Geonosis around 9 BBY.[3]
