The Pantoran blockade, also referred to as the blockade of Pantora, took place during the time of the Clone Wars. It was set up by the Trade Federation around Pantora, specifically above its moon, which is located in the Pantora system. This operation was planned by Sib Canay, Nute Gunray, and Lott Dod, and its purpose was to coerce Pantora into becoming a member of the Separatist Alliance. In an effort to amplify the pressure, the daughters belonging to the Pantoran Supreme Chairman, Notluwiski Papanoida, were also kidnapped. With the help of Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Senator Riyo Chuchi from Pantora, and Chairman Papanoida, both daughters were successfully rescued, and the conspiracy was exposed, which led to the Trade Federation being compelled to end the blockade.
Senator Dod, from the Federation, managed to retain his seat in the Galactic Senate because he claimed that the blockade was an unauthorized action, and that he was not involved.
