"Why of all worlds is he on Vallt? You realize Vallt has gone over to the Separatists?"
"I do. But Vallt was a Republic member world when Dr. Erso agreed to oversee Zerpen's onworld facility. A deal was cut with Vallt's former leadership that allowed for mining and construction in return for a very generous aid package."
―Mas Amedda and Orson Krennic[1]

Vallt was a planet located in the Outer Rim Territories that was the homeworld of the Valltii and Taqwa species, and also the birthplace of Jyn Erso. Vallt was a cold world, with half the planet covered in glacial ice. The climate was often snowy and windy and quite inhospitable to off-worlders.[1]

Galen Erso and his team were working on Vallt for Zerpen Industries when the Vallt government was overthrown in a coup by those sympathetic to the Confederacy of Independent Systems. This led to Erso quickly being thrown into Tambolor prison on charges of espionage as the planet seceded from the Galactic Republic to the Confederacy.[1]

History[]

"I can only wonder what Count Dooku offered Vallt's new leadership. Perhaps he promised to tug this world a bit closer to your star."
"Trade, respect, fair representation in the Confederacy. All that we weren't receiving as a member of the Republic."
―Galen Erso and Chieftain Gruppe, after Phara's coup[1]

The Outer Rim snow planet Vallt had been a member world of the Galactic Republic for years before the Clone Wars. Whilst it was a member, it did not receive much trade or respect from the government, and also lacked fair representation in the Republic. For around a decade, Vallt's representatives brought this to the attention to the Republic, but this did not change their status. During his time as Chair of the Senate, Mas Amedda served on a committee with Vallt representatives, but did not grant them the support they wished.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Vallt first appeared in James Luceno's 2016 novel Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel.[1] It was first pictured in Rogue One Adaptation 4,[4] released on July 5, 2017.[5]
