Rodia was the home planet of the Rodian species and member world of the Galactic Republic with representation in the Senate.

Description[]

Located in the Tyrius System within the Outer Rim, this world features both rainforests and industrial sectors.

Rodia was surrounded by its four moons, Eiska, Enak, Soomana, and Yasooka.

Its surface was composed mainly of swamp that housed many wild, non-sentient species. Rodia's two major cities were Equator City and Isaayuma, the latter of which served as the planet's capitals.

History[]

During the Clone Wars, the planet was represented in the Galactic Senate by Onaconda Farr, who was later appointed to the Loyalist Committee as the Separatist Crisis worsened.

At some point of the Clone Wars, he betrayed his old friend Senator Padmé Amidala by luring her to Rodia and into the clutches of her old enemy, the Trade Federation viceroy, Nute Gunray, in exchange for the shipment of supplies, which the Republic had failed to deliver, to his planet. He later realized his mistake and helped her escape.

Bounty hunter Cad Bane was later assigned to Rodia by Darth Sidious to capture a Force-sensitive Rodian child. Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived too late to prevent the child's kidnapping.
