After the Galactic Empire assumed control in 19 BBY, the burgeoning power of the Empire incited escalating clan conflict on the world of Rodia. The Rodian Navik the Red strategically timed his rebellion, successfully deposing his adversaries and seizing control of Rodia's primary city, Equator City. By 17 BBY, he proclaimed himself the Grand Protector of Rodia, relocating the planet's governing center from Equator City to Iskaayuma, the base of operations for his Chattza clan.
The "Visting Rodia" article, featured within the Guide to the Galaxy segment, referenced Navik's uprising. This article appeared in the 58th edition of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon collection, which was distributed around February 10th, 2016.
