- "Your people will come here someday. […] Until then, the survivors have enough food and supplies to last for generations. They'll survive. I know they will."
- ―A human female, to Syndic Mitth'ras'safis
A stone–filled valley was the site where a starship originating from Lesser Space, the legion that lay beyond the Unknown Regions,[1] crashed by 19 BBY.[2] Moments before the crash, a human female aboard the starship promised her co-pilot, Chiss Syndic Mitth'ras'safis, that his people, the Chiss species, would come to the valley at some point.[1]
Behind the scenes
The valley as depicted in Star Wars Legends
The valley first appeared in the current Star Wars canon in the 2021 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil, the final entry in Timothy Zahn's The Ascendancy Trilogy.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the valley first appeared in Zahn's 2004 novel Survivor's Quest.[3]
The mention of the valley drew upon Zahn's Star Wars Legends continuity novel Outbound Flight, which was released in 2006 and detailed the fate of the Outbound Flight starship. In the novel, Chiss Syndic Mitth'ras'safis and Human Jedi Knight Lorana Jinzler hoped to bring the vessel to one of the habitable but unexplored worlds located within the Unknown Regions' star cluster known as the Redoubt, but were ultimately unable to do so due to the damage the ship had suffered and, instead were forced to crash in an enclosed valley on a planetoid in the star cluster.[4] While the Redoubt also exists in the canon continuity,[5] no connection was made between the two locations.
