Vago Gejalli Thokka
this was a noted Hutt crimelord who was born into the Gejalli kajidic. However, after his mother's criminal empire was crushed by Popara the Hutt, Vago was adopted into the Anjiliac clan. He was never allowed to use the Anjiliac name in his title, since Popara never fully trusted Vago. However, Popara used Vago as the Anjiliac clan's primary aide-de-camp and middleman, since Vago was one of the few Hutts who was willing to speak the Basic language when necessary. In the wake of Popara's death, Vago took action to ensure that his killer was found. Believing that Mika had something to do with the event, Vago arranged to have Popara's freelance agents freed from prison and secretly dispatched to hunt down Popara's killer and the source of the tempest spice. For this, Vago was captured and held prisoner by Zonnos, and his H-3PO droids were used to lure the agents into a trap. After Zonnos went mad and was captured, Vago disappeared. Unknown to most beings, Vago had actually been captured by Mika and shipped off to Varl, so as to eliminate his meddlings. Within the tempest production facility on the Tempest, Vago was guarded by Dai and Koya Utrila, until the two sisters learned the truth behind Mika's treachery. They let Vago go free, and helped the agents hired by Popara to defeat Mika and his forces. (TF, WOTC)

Vahaba
this red giant star is orbited by several planets and the Vahaba Asteroid Belt. It is believed that a huge comet or stray asteroid collided with one of Vahaba's larger planets, creating the huge ring of debris which became the asteroid belt. It was strategically important for the ores which were found in the asteroids, and the system was known for the incredible skills of its metal workers. The belt and its system were located in a cluster of stars not far from Halmad. (SOC)

Vahaba Asteroid Belt
this ring of asteroids was located in the Vahaba System. Scientists believed that the asteroid belt was formed when one of Vahaba's larger planets was struck by a comet or stray asteroid. The belt itself is quite large, with pieces of planetary debris strewn across a vast distance. This makes navigation through the belt hazardous. It was targetted for assault by the New Republic task force hunting Warlord Zsinj, but the commanding officers chose to strike at Comkin Five first. Han Solo then took the Mon Remonda to Vahaba, where he was met by Admiral Rogriss and the Stellar Web, in the hopes of trapping Zsinj and the Iron Fist in the system. The plan nearly succeeded, but Zsinj's forces inflicted as much damage as they took, and were able to escape. (SOC)

Only the timely intervention of The Exile saved her, as the former Jedi fought with the Royalists to end the battle. Vaklu himself was captured, but Queen Talia was forced to have him shot for his actions, fearing that he would escape from prison.

Valadon was known as a tremendous flirt, and often wore provocative clothing to keep other beings off their guard. Several years before the Battle of Geonosis, Siri Tachi impersonated Valadon in an effort to infiltrate the planet Romin and located Jenna Zan Arbor. Slam and his gang had gone underground, but suddenly turned up on Romin at the same time as Siri and the Jedi. When Zan Arbor packed up her operations and moved to Coruscant with Roy Teda and Granta Omega, Valadon and the Slams went with them. Their part in the mission was to disrupt the ceremony in honor of the passage of the All Planet Relief Fund legislation. Roper and Valadon were disguised as Blue Guards during the event, which allowed them to gain easy access to the vertex crystal that served as the financial basis for the Fund. They were apprehended by Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker, and held for questioning. It was revealed that the real plan had nothing to do with stealing vertex, but rather the kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine himself. (JQ8, JQ9)

Valance the Hunter
see Valance, Beilert (MC16, MC27, MC29, SWMW)

Valance, Beilert
a native of the remote world of Shinbone, Valance was an orphan who claimed that his parents had died from the Hardan Plague. He enlisted in the Imperial armed forces, and became a decorated soldier for his efforts in suppressing the Nembus Sector. A former stormtrooper, Valance was fighting in an Outworld skirmish when an Alliance serial torpedo struck his platoon. The blast nearly killed him, but his soldiers managed to bring him to Telos-4. In order to keep him alive, the doctors there cyborged much of his body. When he awoke, he was angry and disoriented, and he hated what had been done to him. He distrusted droids, and the fact that he had become a cyborg made him hate droids even more. However, he decided to live, and left Imperial service to become a bounty hunter. After gathering a group of mercenaries and bounty hunters to assist him, Valance attacked the Outworld base at Telos-4, destroying everything in sight to erase his past and destroy some droids. During the fighting, the team learned of the efforts of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in the Battle of Yavin. He set out tohunt down Skywalker, dreaming of killing Luke because he had befriended R2-D2 and C-3PO. However, Valance acted on faulty information, and traveled to Aduba-3 because he misinterpreted the data. He tried to kill Jimm the Starkiller Kid, who bore a striking resemblance to Skywalker, but his efforts were thwarted by Jaxxon and Amaiza. In the skirmish on Aduba-3, Valance lost his entire team, and angrily fled the planet when he realized that he had been after the wrong man. He recovered on the planet Junction, where he was briefly employed as a bounty hunter by Skinker. It was duringthis time that Valance finally confronted Luke Skwyalker, who was on Junction to obtain replacement parts for the Alliance's droids. When C-3PO put itself between the two in order to protect Luke, Valance discovered something he hadn't considered: that even in a galaxy of droid-haters, a droid might care enough about a living being to sacrifice itself to save them. Unable to reconcile this new information, Valance allowed Skywalker and his droid to leave unharmed, and spent the next months ensuring that Darth Vader never discovered Luke's identity. To this end, Valance traveled to Centares to eliminate Tyler Lucian, only to be confronted by Vader himself. In the fight which ensued, Valance was badly injured, but maintained a grip on Vader as the Dark Lord pressed his advantage. Seeing that he had few options left, Valance threw himself into Rubyflame Lake, hoping to drag Vader in with him. Vader, however, used his lightsaber to cut off Valance's hand, and the cyborged bounty hunter died in the toxic waters. (MC16, MC27, MC29, SWMW)

this Gurlanin and his consort, Jinart, were part of a large group of Gurlanin who agreed to assist the forces of the Old Republic in removing the Separatists who had taken control of their homeworld of Qiilura, during the early stages of the Clone Wars.

They were betrayed by a group of local farmers, and Master Fulier was captured and presumed dead. Valaqil managed to return to the main Republic force, but was unable to account for the Jedi. Nevertheless, he provided Omega Squad with valuable information about the situation on Qiilura. After the successful capture of Ovolot Qail Uthan, Valaqil was released from his service to the Republic and returned to Qiilura and his consort, Jinart. (RCHC)

Valarian
this female Whiphid was the offspring of two gangsters. She took over the Lucky Despot Hotel in Mos Eisley while Jabba the Hutt was still alive. She was one of the few who outright challenged Jabba's unspoken rulership of the spaceport town. She hired Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes to play at her wedding reception. She was twenty-four at the time, and was going to marry D'Wopp. However, the simple-minded Whiphid decided to take up Jabba's offer of a bounty on Han Solo's head instead. When he tried to leave the ceremony, Valarian became enraged and a fight broke out. Imperial troops tried to break it up, and shut down the illegal gambling at the Lucky Despot. Valarian had D'Wopp sent back to Toola...in a large number of boxes. She continued to try and thwart Jabba's powerplays, but the Hutt's influence extended too deeply into Mos Eisley's substance. So, Valarian backed off and simply tried to outmaneuver the Hutt. She planted a number of spies in Jabba's palace, and even had a number of plots to kill the Hutt started. She later employed her Whiphid lover, J'Quille, in an attempt to kill Jabba. However, before J'Quille could succeed, Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. Valarian slowly but surely began to usurp Jabba's old businesses. She chose to abandon Jabba's bullying tactics and tried to become a more benevolent employer to her new operations. This approach worked extremely well, and by the time the New Republic attempted to negotiate for governance of the planet, Valarian was the primary source of power, water, land, and shipping rights. She moved her base of operations to Mos Ethna, and was a driving force in the emergence of the city as one of Tatooine's best spaceports. (GG7, TME, TJP, SOT)

However, Darth Sidious had put security measures in place that were waiting for them when they infiltrated the facility. Valiant and his explosives expert were leaidng the team, but were unprepared for the blast that Sidious unleashed on them.

It suddenly reappeared during the Bacta War when Tycho Celchu's X-Wing started using the IFF transmissions of the Another Chance to mask its true identity.

The Valley was more than 1,200 meters deep in some places, although it was little more than a slit in the ground, and much of the rock which made up its walls had been carved with magical Sith runes and glyphs to ward off unwanted spirits and intruders. In additon to these runes, a wide variety of sculptures and reliefs adorned the Valley walls, portraying the heroics of the Sith Lords buried there. It was believed that the structure and placement of the tombs was designed to concentrate and focus the power of the Dark Side of the Force, allowing the spirits of the ancient Sith Lords to remain closeby.

Valley of the Jedi
located on the planet Ruusan, this valley was believed to have been an ancient, hidden, Jedi burial ground whose existence was considered a mere legend until Morgan Katarn discovered its exact location. In reality, the Valley was located near the site of the decisive struggle in the Battle of Ruusan, in which Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood and Darkness unleashed a thought bomb on Lord Hoth and the Army of Light. In the wake of the battle, Jedi Knight Johun Othone established a memorial to the fallen Jedi, naming it the Valley of the Jedi. Wondrous statues and a huge mausoleum were erected in the valley to honor the forces of Lord Hoth. The stone used to create these memorials came from hundreds of planets, symbolizing the diversity of Lord Hoth's forces. At one end of the Valley, Othone placed a huge Adegan crystal in a special chamber, as a place where Jedi Knights could meditate on their place in the galaxy. However, over the centuries, interest in the Battle of Ruusan faded, and the Jedi Council - which had prohibited the construction of the memorial in the first place - chose to forget about Ruusan entirely. Thus, the Valley of the Jedi disappeared from the public consciousness. The natives of Ruusan, an unusual race known only as the Bouncers, believed that the spirits trapped in the Valley would only be set free when a Knight arrived to upset the natural balance. The Jedi Knight Qu Rahn tried to keep the Valley's location a secret until he could secure it, but the Dark Jedi Jerec murdered Rahn and Morgan Katarn in order to discover its location and use it for himself. Kyle Katarn, Morgan's son, successfully defeated Jerec and his Dark Jedi in the Valley itself, preventing them from abusing the Valley's power. Kyle shared the secret of the Valley's location with only one other individual, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, so that the site could be investigated by the Jedi and not misused by their enemies.

The clan which lived in this valley was responsible for the capture of Shmi Skywalker, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. Unfortunately, the clan was slaughtered by Anakin Skywalker, when he returned to Tatooine and witnessed his mother's death. For decades afterward, the Sandpeople avoided the valley and the remains of the settlement, fearing that the avenging "ghost" of Anakin would slay them, too. Ritual sacrifices, often captured moisture farmers, were made to appease the "ghost", to ensure that it wouldn't return to terrorize other settlements. Shortly after the marriage of Han Solo and Leia Organa, they were forced to travel to Tatooine to recover the Killik Twilight moss-painting, and had to rescue Kitster Banai before he could be the latest sacrifice.

Valley of Umbra
located on the planet Zelos II, this 500-meter deep valley is unusual in that its walls slope inward. This creates a valley which is wider at its base than at its top.

Valorum Shipping and Transport
based on the planet Eriadu, this interstellar shipping corporation was owned and operated by the family of Finis Valorum, during the last centuries of the Old Republic. About a year before the Battle of Naboo. Finis Valorum was accused of using inside information - the impending taxation of trade routes in the Mid and Outer Rim Territories - to bolster his holdings in Valorum Shipping in order to reap a substantial profit. Under the Amended Proprieties Bill, Valorum was legally bound to ignore such information, and Senator Bail Antilles was forced to expose the matter to the Judicial Department. For his own part, Finis Valorum was unaware of the investments that he was supposed to have made, mainly because the basis for these accusations was false. Nonetheless, the accusations forced many Senators to question Valorum's trustworthyness and capacity to rule the galaxy. It was later revealed that the transfer of funds initiated with a huge quantity of aurodium ingots, which were traced to the Trade Federation freighter Revenue. (COD)

Valorum Tower
this Old Republic-style building was located in Coruscant's Imperial City. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, the building became a refuge for the many aliens who fled Yuuzhan Vong attacks. (JE)

Valorum, Finis
this man served as the Chancellor of the Old Republic, having been elected shortly before the rise of Senator Palpatine and serving nearly two full, four-year terms in office. Finis was the latest member of a family whose political roots stretched back over a thousand years, and had inherited the Chancellorship from his father. Historians point to Valorum's ancestors, many decades before the Battle of Naboo, laying the groundwork for giving the Trade Federation free reign to do as it needed to make a profit. The Valorum family was known for its favoring of rules and procedures over taking direct action, and Finis himself was almost blind to the idea of taking the initiative in a given situation. When Palpatine was appointed the Senator of Naboo, Valorum had just started his second term, and sought out Palpatine as a potential ally. Note that Star Wars: Galactic Crisis! indicates that Valorum was also a native of the planet Naboo, just as Palpatine was. However, Valorum was no match for Palaptine's political maneuverings, and was in trouble from false accusations even before the Trade Federation blockaded the planet Naboo. When Queen Amidala appealed to the Galactic Senate for a lifting of the blockade, Valorum was unable to act without a considerable resistance from many factions within the Senate. The Senators from Malastare demanded a review of the situation, and Valorum was forced to agree. As Palpatine's plan unfolded, he urged Amidala to call for a vote of no-confidence in Valorum. Amidala had very little understanding of the Seante's workings, and went along with Palpatine's suggestion. Shortly thereafter, Valorum was voted out as Chancellor, to be replaced by Palpatine himself. Valorum remained in the background of the Old Republic's political environment for several years, writing his autobiography and working with the Refugee Relief Movement, until the onset of the Clone Wars brought war to the galaxy. He returned to Coruscant some sixteen months after the Battle of Geonosis to speak with Bail Organa about the growing power of Chancellor Palpatine, berating Organa and the Senate for granting Palpatine additional powers and chafing at their assumption that Palpatine actually believed them to be temporary. He also believed that a pirate attack on one of Organa's transport ships had been orchestrated by Palpatine, as a way to eliminate Organa and obtain approval for the Security and Enforcement Act. As he left Coruscant, Valorum boarded the Star of Iskin to return to his self-imposed isolation. Just after liftoff, however, the ship exploded, killing Valorum and all aboard. The Separatists ultimately were blamed for the attack. Despite his troubles with the Republic, Valorum's memory was honored with the creation of the Finis Valorum Memorial.

Valrar
according to the backstory developed for Abel Quiller, this planet was the home port of the Hab Camber during the early years of the New Republic. This was one of the many false identities used by Talon Kaarde and his people, allowing him to travel in the Wild Karrde without being disco vered. Valrar was also the site of a Noghri commando base, maintained by Grand Admiral Thrawn during the early years of the New Republic. Valrar was located in the Glythe Sector. (DFR, TLC)

this was one of the many aliases maintained by Han Solo, during his career as a smuggler. He later used the Valrith identity as a member of the Alliance, during a mission to acquire a cargo of credits being shipped from Ord Mantell. Valrith was the Captain of the YT-1300 freighter Victory Ring. During the escape from Ord Mantell, the Valrith identity was actually used by Leia Organa, to try and distract Ord Mantell's spaceport controllers. (RMOM)

Valsil Torr
this wily old Twi'lek served as the Warlord Zsinj's station chief on Zsinj's Empress-class space station at Yag'Dhul. Torr was in command shortly before Rogue Squadron took control of the facility during the Krytos crisis. He attempted to force the native Givin workforce to pay him bribes, and the Givin leader agreed to meet in Torr's office. An "accident" led to a blaster bolt hole in the hull of the station, and Torr was literally sucked out the small aperture. The Givin then patched the hole and survived. (KT, BW)
