Via was a deity venerated by a number of ancient Human civilizations in the Pre-Republic era, notably the Zhell people of Coruscant and the Seoularians. She possessed two distinct facets, referred to as the Beatific Countenance and the Glorious Radiance. The Glorious Radiance was depicted as analogous to the Force, as it linked Via to all living things throughout the galaxy. Within the Argazdan faith of Vianism, Via held the position of principal god.
