This article is about the instrument called valahorn. You may be looking for the instrument called valachord that Tobias Beckett wanted to learn how to play.
The valahorn was a type of musical instrument that was similar in appearance and sound to a Kloo horn.[1] It was discovered in[2] 1 ABY[3] by an archaeological team that was investigating the Massassi Temples on Yavin 4. Although its origin was unknown, they theorized that it had been taken to Yavin 4 during the Great Sith War.[2]
Behind the scenes
The valahorn was an item in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] The valahorn was added to the game with the release of the "Game Update 2," on March 13, 2008.[5]

- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
