Odojinya, or Force net, was a Sith incantation that created a dark side web, a magic technique favored by Sith sorcerers. When used successfully this power would summon strands of dark side energy that would wrap around the target and ensnare them in an unbreakable mesh. The lattice of dark energy would then effectively sever the being's connection to the Force and continuously sap their strength as well.

This technique was employed by King Ommin of Onderon to subdue Jedi Master Arca Jeth.

It was also employed by Dark Jedi Lomi Plo to kill a Yuuzhan Vong shaper during the Mission to Myrkr and later during Swarm War in Battle of Sarm when she dueled with Grand Master Luke Skywalker. Once her victim had been ensnared, Lomi constricted the net, slicing up her victim. It was also used to torture and attempt to kill Ben Skywalker by Lost Tribe of the Sith High Lord Sarasu Taalon during the fight with Abeloth on Pydyr.
