The lunar pull of Adru's two [[ma:Moon|moon]]s constantly ensured that the entire surface was covered with water. Kinba City was the only surface city and spaceport. Since it was the only settlement accessible to offworlders, the only way to the true surface of the planet was in a [[Submersible|submersible]] kept in Kinba City. | The lunar pull of Adru's two [[ma:Moon|moon]]s constantly ensured that the entire surface was covered with water.

Canyons lined the ocean floor, and atop the canyons lay long rifts that were lined with numerous deposits of laktum. One of these rifts, the [[ | Canyons lined the ocean floor, and atop the canyons lay long rifts that were lined with numerous deposits of laktum. One of these rifts, the [[Komina Rift]], was home to a giant [[dridalum shark]] known as the [[First One]]. The unusual natural energies emitted from the rift contributed to the First One's tremendous size. The First One was also somehow connected with the flow of laktum. It in turn fed on the laktum, further increasing the creature's size. Its offspring, the dridalum sharks, protected their mother and inhabited the rift, attacking anything that attempted to endanger the reef. | ||

Adru had one sun, and its skies were as blue as the oceans. The planet was home to several avian species, flocks of which could usually be seen flying over Kinba City. The Adru protected their oceans and their skies with as much integrity as anything they did. If the environment was harmed, the parties responsible could be banned, imprisoned, or even executed, if the crime was severe enough. Luckily, few dared to tamper with the ecosystem, and if they did, they would be met with the wrath of the First One. | |||

Adru was once a prominent member of the Infinite Empire, thousands of years before the creation of the Republic. The Adru were among many species enslaved by the [[VIR|Valcarian Empire]]. The Adruan slaves were used to construct marvelous structures across the [[VIR|Empire]]. | |||
When their empire began to collapse the Rakata abandoned the planet, leaving behind only an incomplete Star Map on the ocean floor. The Star Map held powerful Force energy which attracted the Progenitor. The energy radiated by the Star Map kept her alive for thousands of years and contributed to her immense size. She became a legend to the Selkath, who believed her to be not only the source of the kolto, but perhaps even the origin of their species. She also gave birth to many smaller firaxan sharks, who helped her to protect the rift and its hidden treasures. The Selkath that had been transported as slaves across the galaxy eventually returned to their homeworld where they began to rebuild their civilization. | When their empire began to collapse the Rakata abandoned the planet, leaving behind only an incomplete Star Map on the ocean floor.
