A mining colony established on the rocky world of Valashar made its presence known by 34 ABY. This colony submitted a request to the Office of Acquisitions located on the planet Castilon's massive supertanker fuel depot known as Colossus for a phase connector. This specialized mining tool, used for drilling and excavation, was both uncommon and costly. Flix, a Gozzo, and Orka, a Chadra-Fan, who managed the store, documented the purchase of the phase connector by the Valashar colony within their inventory system and securely stored the equipment in their storage area.
During ABY 34, the mechanic Kazuda Xiono briefly held a position at the Office of Acquisitions. He informed Teroj Kee, an agent of the First Order, that he could not fulfill his request for a phase connector, explaining that the available unit was already allocated to the mining colony. When Kee tried to take the mining tool by force, Xiono destroyed the phase connector, preventing Kee from absconding with it.
The existence of Valashar's mining colony was brought to light in "Dangerous Business," the thirteenth installment of the first season of the animated television program Star Wars Resistance. This episode was initially broadcast on January 20, 2019.
