"Think of all those people trapped behind the Stormwall, on Delemede, Galtea, Pantora, struggling under the yoke of Nihil oppression. We can't just accept that and move on."

―Elzar Mann, to Lina Soh

Galtea was an inhabited terrestrial astronomical object located in the Outer Rim Territories, in a section that was designated as the Galactic Frontier by the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. In 230 BBY, the Nihil marauders raised the Stormwall barrier that prevented hyperspace travel and thus created the area known as Occlusion Zone. Thereby numerous astronomical objects, including Galtea, were trapped in Nihil-controlled space. In 229 BBY, Jedi Master Elzar Mann mentioned the beings trapped behind the Stormwall to Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh of the Galactic Republic to motivate her to not give up in the conflict against the Nihil, naming Galtea's population as one of several such examples.

Behind the scenes

Galtea was mentioned in the current Star Wars canon in the 2023 novel The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness, written by George Mann and published as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase III. The planet Galtea was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared in "Traitor in our Midst," a roleplaying adventure included in the 1995 supplement The DarkStryder Campaign that was published by West End Games for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
