The Jin'ha was a mysterious species who operated a mine on the planet of Obredaan. The Jin'ha produced weapons from refined lightsaber-resistant cortosis ore that they shipped to various gangs such as the Black Heth and the Trade Federation.
The Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi fought a group of Jin'ha during a weapons shipment to the Black Heth criminal gang. Later, he and his Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn fought an army of Jin'ha on Obredaan in order to free the captive Jedi Masters Eeth Koth and Plo Koon shortly before the Invasion of Naboo. The Jin'ha proved to be good warriors during this conflict, but were defeated by the Jedi.
The Jin'ha first appeared in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Obi-Wan.
