Vale was a celestial body[3] located in the Vale system, a part of the Atravis sector[1] in the Western Reaches portion of[2] the Outer Rim Territories.[1] In 13 BBY, a squadron of the Galactic Empire that included the Imperial starfighter pilot and hero Shea Hublin, Air Marshal of the Greater Seswenna region, was ambushed at Vale by anti-Imperial rebels. In the ensuing confrontation, Hublin lost a leg and a half of his arm and later transferred from the Imperial Starfighter Corps and instead took up a line command aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Kabalian Cross.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Vale was mentioned in the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.[3] The StarWars.com Online Companion to the 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Vale system, and therefore the celestial body itself, in grid square L-19.[1]
