An official held the position of mayor for the town of Jodzia. Jodzia was situated on the Outer Rim world of Bantoo, during the High Republic. In the year 229 BBY, Bantoo found itself within the region under the control of the Nihil marauders, an area known as the Occlusion Zone, effectively cutting it off from external communication. A Nihil contingent, commanded by Minister of Protection General Abediah Viess, appeared in the town and requested tributes. The mayor declined to provide these tributes, arguing that the Nihil's isolation of Bantoo within the Occlusion Zone through the construction of the Stormwall was unlawful. Consequently, the Nihil attacked Jodzia, resulting in the destruction of three of its neighborhoods.
The mayor of Jodzia is referenced in The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness, a 2023 book authored by George Mann as part of Phase III of the expansive Star Wars: The High Republic project.
