The Jin'ha were a enigmatical species famous for their work with the lightsaber-resistant cortosis ore. The Jin'ha also sold some of their cortosis ore to the Trade Federation, which utilized it for their experimental assassin droids. The common weapons the Jin'ha used were pikes, maces and blasters.
History
The Jin'ha were a mystic species who operated a mine and refinery on the planet of Obredaan. The Jin'ha produced weapons from refined lightsaber-resistant cortosis ore that they shipped to various groups such as the Black Heth and the Trade Federation. Many were trained as warriors and some as specialized snipers.[1]
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 capable warriors during this conflict, but the Jedi proved victorious.[1]

The Jin'ha first appeared in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Obi-Wan.
