Skodo was a Rodian male mechanic who lived in the mining settlement of Jenith on the Outer Rim world of Chelloa during the Republic Dark Age. He and the secret Jedi Gorlan Palladane used a transmitter to activate one of the interstellar relay stations to contact Jedi Master Vannar Treece, asking for help in evacuating the planet's population. Palladane was concerned about the impact of Sith Lord Daiman's mining activities on the health of the children. While the message was received by the Jedi, the transmission was also intercepted by the rival Sith Lord Odion, Daiman's estranged brother.
