Rodians of planet Rodia are a species of green-skinned humanoids found throughout the galaxy. Rodians can be found among the Core World elite -- like Senator Onaconda Farr or Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's aide, Dar Wac -- to the lowest of the Outer Rim fringe -- like the bounty hunter Greedo.

Rodians have large, black eyes, tapir-like snouts, long flexible fingers terminating in suction cups, twin saucer-like sensory organs atop their heads, and a ridge of spines cresting their skulls.

Official Description

This bipedal alien species with tapir-like faces and multifaceted eyes is native to the planet Rodia in the Tyrius system. The skin of a Rodian is bumpy in texture and green in color. Rodians have ears that swivel in their sockets, allowing them to hear in several directions. As a species, Rodians are hunters and warriors by nature, and bounty hunting holds a place of high esteem within their culture. Rodians are armed with the Tenloss DXR-6 Disruptor rifle and are adept snipers.

Appearances

Rodians appear both in Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, where they are part of the mercenary groups affiliated with the Imperial Remnant and later the Disciples of Ragnos. Usually they use blasters or disrupter rifles to attack from afar. In most cases they wear light costumes with orange stripes and sometimes a brown vest. They also appear in Dark Forces II as enemy NPCs on Nar Shaddaa, often using a small blaster. In Mysteries of the Sith, Rodians are some of the guests of Ka'Pa the Hutt and attack only if being provoked.

In Jedi Academy, Rodian is one of the available species the player can select when customizing their character, Jaden Korr.
