- "And that is why we are having the fair. Yes, it will bring people to the frontier, and yes, it will bring investment: a showcase of everything the Outer Rim has to offer, but also a chance to build new bridges with our galactic neighbors. The Duinuogwuin. The Togrutas."
- ―Lina Soh
The Duinuogwuin were a group who were galactic neighbors of the expanding Galactic Republic by the time of the High Republic Era. By hosting a Republic Fair on the Outer Rim planet Valo[1] in 231 BBY,[2] Chancellor Lina Soh hoped that the event's showcase of the Republic's offerings—along with her other Great Works, such as the Starlight Beacon space station—would allow for the government to build bridges with nearby groups such as the Duinuogwuin. After a Senate planning meeting for the fair, Soh expressed her opinion about the Duinuogwuin to her Vice Chancellor, Larep Reza.[1]
