Rodia

Back to List

Rodia, an industrial planet in the Tyrius system in the Mid Rim, was the homeworld to the Rodians, being the birthworld of the bounty hunter Greedo the Younger.

Rodia was a hot, humid world which was covered in dense tropical jungles as well as sprawling cities and industrial areas. A large area of the planet was also covered in oceans and there appeared to be two polar regions on the extreme latitudes. A known body of water on the planet was the Wesessa Sea where the An'yettu Islands were located.

Two major cities on the planet were Equator City and Iskaayuma which were the planetary capitals at different periods in Rodia's history. Equator City was the traditional capital until Navik the Red usurped control over the planet and moved the capital to his clan's settlement at Iskaayuma. Two known continents were Encheeko and Betu.

Rodia's jungles used to host a variety of fauna and flora which were wiped out or made endangered over the millennia as the Rodians improved their technology and increased their population. The Rodian Karstag, newoongall and the ghest were native predators of Rodia. As the jungle terrain was unsuitable for agricultural purposes, many Rodians were forced to hunt sustain themselves and their communities.
