- "Vodran is a terrible place. It's murky; it's dank. It was the stronghold of Harra the Hutt. She and her collection of scum and troublemakers abandoned Vodran during an Imperial incursion, and as far as we know, the Empire years ago. The swamp has taken back most of the planet."
- ―Gial Ackbar
Vodran was a swampy,[6] murky jungle[3] planet[7] located in the Vodran system in the Si'Klaata Cluster of Hutt Space, in grid square S-9 on the Standard Galactic Grid.[2] It was the homeworld of the sentient Vodran species,[7] along with dianogas, carnivorous cephalopods that spread themselves across the galaxy by climbing aboard starship bilges and stowing away in their garbage tanks.[6] It was conquered by the Hutt Cartel, which was controlled by the Hutts from the neighboring world of Nal Hutta, who turned the Vodrans into slaves or vassals.[7] Sometime later the Hutts had abandoned the planet and the swamp had taken back much of it.[4]
Behind the scenes
Vodran was first mentioned in Galaxy Guide 1: A New Hope, a 1989 Star Wars Legends sourcebook cowritten by Michael Stern and Grant S. Boucher for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[9] It became canon when it was mentioned in Ultimate Star Wars, a canon reference book cowritten by Patricia Barr, Adam Bray, Daniel Wallace, and Ryder Windham that was released in 2015.[6]
The junior novel Join the Resistance: Escape from Vodran states that Vodran is located in the Outer Rim Territories and is not near Hutt Space.[4] However, this contradicts with the majority of sources for Vodran in both the Star Wars Legends and canon continuities, which place it and the worlds of the Si'Klaata Cluster in the northern portion of Hutt Space.[10][7][11][12]
