By the time of the Valcarian Republic, Adru had established itself as the sole provider of laktum in the galaxy. In order to serve the needs of non-Adruan visitors, the Adruan built the huge Kinba City, which was so large that it could be seen from orbit. Laktum was in high demand during the war due to its powerful healing properties. In fact, Adru's entire economy revolved around its exportation. Adru's main client was the Valcarian Republic, though Adru itself was not a member of the Republic. Instead, Adru adopted a state of neutrality. If any faction decided to invade the planet, the Adru threatened to destroy the laktum supply. | By the time of the [[Valcarian Republic]], Adru had established itself as the sole provider of laktum in the galaxy.

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. | 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.

Adru continued to extract | Adru continued to extract laktum, 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. | ||
