[edit] History
During the Clone Wars, Geonosians, working for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, established a hive factory-fortress on the planet. At that time, the factory was littered with Mandalorian corpses.
In 21 BBY, a Republic Army, led by General Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Knight Tohno, was sent to the planet in order to destroy the Separatists' factory. Tohno gave her life to blow up the hive factory: a sacrifice that made the Republic victorous.
Jodo Kast managed to salvage some Mandalorian armor from this planet which he then used to impersonate Boba Fett as a bounty hunter.[2]
[edit] Behind the scenes
Star Wars: The Comics Companion initially idenitified Zaddja and Zaadja as the same planet. More recently however, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia treats them as different planets, each getting an entry in the encyclopedia. The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia adds further confusion to the situation by erroneously labelling the image of Zaddja as Zaadja.
