- "The Valorum dynasty enjoys an influential presence there, and a political victory by me can hardly be assured."
- ―Wilhuff Tarkin, to Sheev Palpatine
House Valorum, also known as the Valorum dynasty, was a prestigious human family[1]—native to the Core World Coruscant,[3] capital of the Galactic Republic[2]—of the galaxy, which notably had much influence on the planet of Eriadu and owned a shipping company.[1] Tarsus Valorum was a member of the family.[6]
Following the fall of the Old Republic,[7] about a millennium before the Clone Wars,[8] Tarsus[6] became the first Supreme Chancellor of the modern Galactic Republic around the year 1032 BBY.[4] Finis Valorum, a direct descendant of Tarsus Valorum,[6] served as the penultimate Chancellor.[1] His second term was truncated as a result of the Invasion of Naboo, and Sheev Palpatine was elected as Finis' successor[2] in 32 BBY.[5]

- ↑ 4.0 4.1 The novel Tarkin states that Tarsus Valorum was elected Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic after the fall of the Old Republic. The Star Wars Book places the restoration of the Republic 1,032 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds 1032 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. Therefore, Valorum's chancellery must have begun during or after 1032 BBY.
