Codia I

For other uses, see Codia.

"Even tidally locked, the moon's dark side would receive planetshine from Codia I. See?"

―Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Qui-Gon Jinn^[1]

Codia I was a Mid Rim Territories planet. It was orbited by two moons, the Codian Moon and another one that was tidally locked to the planet's star. Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi at one point mentioned Codia I in his journals, and it was also noted on a galactic map included in the book Traveler's Guide to Batuu.

Description[]

"Codia I had two moons—one moss-covered, forested under starlight. […] The second moon was a "phoenix world," possessing a vast ocean on its darker side, but with a rockier surface facing the Codian star."

―The journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi^[1]

Codia I,^[1] also referred to simply as Codia,^[4] was a planet located in the Mid Rim Territories' Codia system^[1] within grid square H-15 of the Standard Galactic Grid.^[2] It occupied the first orbital position around the Codian dwarf star^[1] and shared its name with the location known as New Codia.^[5] The planet itself was circled by two moons, the forest- and moss-covered^[1] Codian Moon^[3] and another moon, which was tidally locked to Codia I's star. The darker side of that natural satellite was nevertheless illuminated by planetshine.^[1]

History[]

When Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, visited the Codia system while on a mission to Codia I's second moon^[1] at some point between 44 BBY and 32 BBY,^[6] Kenobi pointed out to Jinn how Codia's second moon was illuminated by the planet.^[1] Around 0 BBY,^[7] Kenobi also briefly mentioned Codia I in his journals,^[1] and at some point, the historian Eloc Throno also noted the location of the planet on a map of the galaxy included in his book Traveler's Guide to Batuu.^[4]
