Valo III is a planet, the third planet in the Valo star system. The planet was settled by Bajoran refugees during the Occupation of Bajor. Their leader, Jas Holza, had dealings with the Federation in the past. Ro Laren was against the USS Enterprise-D speaking with Holza and recommended Valo II's leader Keeve Falor. (TNG episode: "Ensign Ro") Valo III operated on a different calendar from Bajor. (ST - Terok Nor novel: Dawn of the Eagles)
