Zaadja (Zaddja) was a planet located in the Trilon Sector, beyond the most inhabited regions of the galaxy. A small asteroid shroud orbited the planet—perhaps the remains of a moon destroyed long ago. Zaadja was an icy, barren planet, with snowy plains surrounded by impervious mountains. During the reign of Carnor Jax, the planet seemed mostly uninhabited, thus never received any attention from the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. It was not until years after the fall of the Emperor that Imperials first visited the planet.

[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.[1]
In 11 ABY, stormtroopers under the command of General Redd Wessel had been dispatched to the planet to capture Kir Kanos. The location, however, was an ambush, and most of the stormtrooper squad was killed by explosives. Kir Kanos once again managed to escape the imperial forces.
