 A few of the Adruan made a secret deal with the Republic, allowing them to build their own [[Komina Station|laktum harvesting base]] on the ocean floor. Unfortunately, the location chosen for the station was the [[Komina Rift]], and the [[First One]] was none too pleased by the invasion of her territory. Somehow she drove the Adruan in the base and the dridalum sharks outside the base insane, and they attacked and killed all of the other personnel. The operation was a disaster, and for some time the Republic Embassy did not know what had happened.

+Adru continued to extract kolto, but the supply mysteriously started to decline. As a result, the price of laktum sky-rocketed and the galaxy abandoned laktum and Adru in favor of new healing agents. Forced to lower their prices, the Adruan lost their greatest bargaining chip. The Adruan attempted to join the Valcarian Republic at this time, but corruption and complex interests barred the aquatic world from entering the interstellar union. With no other options, Kinba City was abandoned by the Adruan, and they returned to their underwater cities beneath the surface. Due to Adru's isolation, the Adruan began to grow primitive, warring with rival cities.
-Adru continued to extract kolto, but the supply mysteriously started to decline. As a result, the price of kolto sky-rocketed and the galaxy abandoned kolto and Manaan in favor of a new healing agent, bacta. Forced to lower their prices, the Selkath lost their greatest bargaining chip. The Selkath attempted to join the [[Galactic Republic]] at this time, but corruption and complex interests barred the aquatic world from entering the interstellar union. With no other options, Ahto City was abandoned by the Selkath some time after the [[New Sith Wars]], and they returned to their underwater cities beneath the surface. Due to Manaan's isolation, the Selkath began to grow primitive, warring with rival cities.
+===Valcarian Empire===
+When the Valcarian Empire was formed, Emperor [[Altharra]] remembered Adru, and sent an assault force to conquer the planet. The assault force consisted of thousands of [[Valcarian Elite-trooper]]s and two [[Altharra-class Destroyer|destroyers]]. Many Adruan were frightened by the Imperial force and surrendered. Just to be on the "safe" side, the Imperial forces released a huge deposit of orbital depth charges, which destroyed numerous undersea cities forcing the Adruan to the surface. Once in Kinba City, the Empire enslaved the Adruan, and crushed any resistance.
-===Galactic Empire===
+It was rumored that Altharra had a host of Adruan slaves in his household on [[Valcaria]]. The Empire built a huge luxury resort in Kinba City and the Adruan were made servants to serve the rich [[Valcarian]] guests. The laktum was exploited by the Empire, and by the time the Empire withdrew, most of the laktum had been taken by the [[Valcarian Imperial Army]]. Industrial pollution also tainted Adru's blue skies and clear waters.

-It was rumored that Palpatine had a host of Selkath slaves in his household on [[Coruscant]]. The Empire built a huge luxury resort in Ahto City and the Selkath were made servants to serve the rich [[Human]] guests. The kolto was exploited by the Empire, and by the time the Empire withdrew, most of the kolto had been taken by the [[Imperial Army]]. Industrial pollution also tainted Manaan's blue skies and clear waters. Finally, the Order of Shasa could not hide any longer. The Order was secretly manipulated by Darth Vader and under his guidance, overthrew the Empire's forces. In return for his help, Vader commanded the Shasans to swear loyalty to him and Palpatine. Vader instructed several Selkath in the ways of the [[dark side]] of the Force.
+With the decline of the laktum market, the Adruan were forced to work much harder to re-establish themselves in the galactic arena. Laktum was used as a cheaper alternative to technology.
-Around [[5 ABY]] [[Admiral]] [[Ackbar]] began a campaign on the [[Inner Rim]] worlds, freeing several planets from the grip of the Empire. It is possible that Manaan was one of the planets liberated in this campaign, and due to its status as a water world, much the same as Ackbar's home planet of [[Mon Calamari]], this may indeed be the case. With the decline of the kolto market, the Selkath were forced to work much harder to re-establish themselves in the galactic arena. Kolto was used as a cheaper alternative to bacta and was supplied to soldiers during the remainder of the [[Galactic Civil War]]. It is unlikely that Manaan joined the New Republic, in view of the Selkath's neutrality policy.
