Surabat River Valley


Surabat River Valley was a location on the planet Batuu that was named after the settler of the planet, Ariana Surabat, who laid down her flag in the valley upon her first arrival on the planet. The deep, curved valley was full of tall, pointed spires of rock that proved difficult for pilots to navigate through, many of which required very treacherous turns. The Surabat vicinity was located in the valley.

At some point after the Battle of Crait during the war between the First Order and the Resistance, the Ewok Peekpa hoped to explore the river valley while on Batuu. She posted a job listing in Black Spire Outpost requesting that someone help her find a new hang glider to explore the valley with. A visitor to the outpost responded, and successfully located the glider at Outer Rim Expedition and Supply, which Peekpa claimed she would pick up and use later on.

The valley was first depicted in trading cards released on December 16, 2017 at Disney's "Galactic Nights" session, an event that previewed locations and details from the then-upcoming themed land Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Similar to other map cards, the card containing the valley contained part of an Aurebesh poem along the border of the card. However, unlike the other cards, it has two Aurebesh lines, due to it being a corner card. The lines were, for the bottom line "COME STAY FOREVER OR", and for the left line, "JUST PASS ON THROUGH".
