Description: Yalta Val was a Human male who served Empress Marasiah Fel's Empire as an Imperial Knight. After the Second Imperial Civil War, he went to the Outer Rim as an agent of the new Triumvirate. While traveling on a mission to supervise the construction of a communications array in the Carreras system, Yalta Val was ambushed and kidnapped by the rogue Sith Darth Wredd, who wanted to destroy the One Sith and re-institute the Rule of Two. Wredd impersonated Yalta Val and seized control of the Carreras communications array, using it to broadcast his manifesto to the wider galaxy. During his broadcast, Wredd attempted to execute Val before a live galactic audience but was thwarted by Ania Solo, a local junk dealer and the descendant of Han Solo.

Following the Carreras Incident, Master Val was placed in charging of training Imperial Knight cadets at the Order's training facility on Coruscant, the galactic capital. Yalta Val tried in vain to stop his fellow Imperial Knight Jao Assam from embarking on a quest to hunt down Darth Wredd but his efforts were unsuccessful. Still, the two men kept in touch and Val later learnt from Jao that another Sith named Darth Luft and his pirate associates had established a presence in the lawless Calamari system. There, they were forcing enslaved Mon Calamari and Quarren refugees to build a pirate fleet. With the help of the Galactic Alliance Admiral Gar Stazi, Master Val succeeded in assembling a combined Alliance and Imperial task force to liberate the shipyards and apprehend the pirates. This successful operation boosted the galactic public's trust in the new Triumvirate.

Following the liberation of Dac, Yalta Val and Jao Assam helped clear Ania Solo, who had been framed for the murder of an Imperial Knight Teemen Alton during the last days of the Second Imperial Civil War. Despite exonerating Ania, Val's friend Jao was jailed for desertion, a crime which carried the death penalty. After Darth Wredd kidnapped Jao Assam, Yalta Val, alongside Master Antares Draco led an Imperial Knights ground assault against the One Sith during the Battle of the Floating World. This battle marked the demise of Darth Wredd and the One Sith, leading to the apparent destruction of the Sith. Following the battle on Mala, Yalta Val bid farewell to Jao Assam, who had been granted permission to leave the Imperial Knights and to travel with Ania and her companions. The two men departed on good terms with Val praising his apprentice for remaining true to the light side of the Force.

Personality and traits
As an Imperial Knight, Yalta Val was loyal and devoted to serving his Empress Marasiah Fel. He was also committed to following the light side of the Force and trusted that the Force would guide the will of the Empress. At the same time, Yalta Val had a clear moral compass which sometimes led him to question the orders of his superiors, if he felt they were wrong or unethical. On one occasion, Val was troubled by the Empress' ambivalence towards the plight of enslaved Mon Calamari and Quarren in the Mon Calamari Shipyards. This moral discomfort led him to join Admiral Gar Stazi in leading a Triumvirate task force to liberate these slaves. The liberation of the Mon Calamari Shipyards proved to be a popular action and helped boost confidence in the Galactic Triumvirate government. However, Val's dislike for politics led him to decline a promotion intended to reward him for his leadership and actions during the Calamari incident.

Master Val also had a deep respect for the junk dealer Ania Solo for saving his life during the Carreras Incident. His affinity for Ania led led him to question the Triumvirate's criminal case against Ania for allegedly murdering an Imperial Knight. Val's commitment to finding the truth led him to discover evidence which helped overturn the Triumvirate's case against Ania and clear her name. In addition, Master Val was also good teacher who was well liked by many of his students including Jao Assam for his unorthodox and flexible methods. Yalta Val also believed that change could made from within a person. Val displayed good leadership skills during the ill-fated mission to the Carreras system and the successful liberation of the Mon Calamari Shipyards. These leadership qualities led Empress Fel to appoint him as head of the Imperial Knights Training Facility on Coruscant.

Powers and abilities
As an Imperial Knight, Yalta Val was skilled in lightsaber combat and the arts of the Force. Val was able to use the Force to levitate his lightsaber from Ania Solo's boot, allowing him to fight back against the rogue Sith Darth Wredd. He was also able to hold out against Darth Wredd during the Carreras Incident. Val later put his lightsaber skills to good use during the liberation of the Mon Calamari Shipyards and the Battle of the Floating World. Due to his leadership and combat skills, Val was placed in charge of the Imperial Knights Training Facility on Coruscant.
