He was a greedy ruler, but still held a lot of love for his people. Poggle was originally part of Geonosis' drone caste, which made up most of the Geonosians who we saw killed by Republic forces in Attack of the Clones.

When the Republic's clone army arrived to reinforce the surviving…...

Though it's set in the same period, and made by several devs who forged the Knights of the Old Republic games, this isn't a follow-up to those releases, nor should you expect any explicit connection.
