Portal Arch

The Portal Arch was a sandstone formation on Vleekstral that the Valuerta considered sacred and viewed as a gateway to the afterlife. Celebrations were held here annually to mark the passing of those who had gone in the previous year. Those lost to fractal degeneration had their pink ashes scattered across the valley floor below the arch.

Planetary geologist Arway Cypher noted it in his recordings while exploring Vleekstral in 136 ABY. Cypher hoped to acquire a sample from the arch to study its composition, but local Valuerta leaders warned him that do to the arch's religious significance, removing anything was illegal and punishable by death.
