In the fictional universe of Conan the Barbarian, Valeria is a pirate who has a romantic relationship with Conan. She first appeared in Robert E. Howard's short story Red Nails, which was serialized in Weird Tales in 1936. Conan has a romatic relationship with the character. The tale in which she appears is the last Conan story written by Howard. Valeria went on to play a major role in the 1982 Conan the Barbarian motion picture, where she was played by Sandahl Bergman.
In the Lensman universe, Valeria is a Terran colony settled by the Dutch. The planet's gravity is three times that of Earth, and the people of Valeria have, over the centuries, become large, brawny, and strong. The Galactic Patrol often employs Valerians as marines and shock troops.Template:Fantasy-stub
