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 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 | ===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. | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
