The world of Rodia is located in the Tyrius System halfway between Gall and Coruscant, and is an industrial planet that is home to the violence-loving Rodians and their vast weapons-manufacturing facilites. The Rodian culture romantucuzes death and the hunt, and their society is tightly controlled by the Rodian Grand Protector, and only the most accomplished hunters are allowed to leave their planet. Rodia was once a lush tropical world, but rapid industrial growth has made many life-forms extinct, necessitating the import of foodstuffs. Years ago Navik the Red the Rodian leader of the Chattza clan, who eventually became Grand Protector of Rodia, eliminated many opposing clan leaders and nearly wiped out the entire Tetsus clan. The novice bounty hunter Greedo was employeed by Jabba the Hutt, was a Rodian and a surviving member of the Tetsus clan, but when Jabba hired him to bring in the bounty on Han Solo, Solo shot him when he tried to do it. Another notable Rodian was Andoorni Hui, a female pilot and member of the Alliance's famed Rogue Squadron.
