Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

An individual served as the mayor of the city Jodzia, located on the Outer Rim Territories planet Bantoo, during the High Republic Era.[1] In 229 BBY,[2] Bantoo was located within the region of space controlled by the Nihil pirates known as the Occlusion Zone, and thus sealed from any contact outside of the Occlusion Zone. A group of Nihil, led by Minister of Protection General Abediah Viess, arrived at the city and demanded tithes from it. The mayor refused to pay the tithes, claiming that the Nihil sealing Bantoo inside the Occlusion Zone by the creation of the Stormwall was illegal. In response, the Nihil ripped through Jodzia, destroying three districts of the city.[1]

Behind the scenes

The mayor of Jodzia was mentioned in The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness, a 2023 novel written by George Mann[1] for Phase III of the multimedia project Star Wars: The High Republic.[3]

  2. ↑ The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness establishes that the attack on Bantoo took place around six months before the first anniversary of the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 229 BBY. Furthermore, the novel states that Pra-Tre Veter was captured two months prior to its events. The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 3 depicts that event as taking place nine months after Starlight Beacon's destruction. Therefore, the attack on Bantoo must have taken place around four months before Veter's capture and in the fifth month after Starlight Beacon's fall. The events of The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 1 that feature Lina Soh requesting the Jedi Order assist the Republic Defense Coalition against the Nihil are established by the issue to take place in the fifth month after Starlight Beacon's destruction and are dated to 229 BBY by Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia. Therefore, the attack on Bantoo must also take place in that year.
