Jodzia was located on Bantoo, a planet situated within the Outer Rim Territories, and was considered a city. In the year 229 BBY, after Bantoo found itself trapped within the Occlusion Zone established by the Nihil pirates, a Nihil contingent, headed by General Abediah Viess, holding the title of Minister of Protection, arrived at the city and demanded tribute. The Jodzia's mayor declined to provide the requested payment, referencing the unlawful establishment of the Occlusion Zone by way of the Stormwall; in response, the Nihil destroyed three of Jodzia's districts.
