Odis was a Human male pilot who lived in the Refugee Sector of Nar Shaddaa, the largest moon of the planet Nal Hutta, in the year 3951 BBY. He was a refugee displaced by the conflicts of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War. When Meetra Surik, a former Jedi Knight, arrived on the moon in search of Jedi Master Zez-Kai Ell, she spoke with Odis, who had been looking for a piloting job, and the Exile offered to help. She was able to convince the crew of the starship Lunar Shadow to abandon their current captain and hire Odis.
