Despite Adasca's death, Adascorp did not disappear entirely. In the wake of the Great Galactic War, the corporation emerged to assist the Republic during the Cold War with the resurgent Sith Empire. Aiding the Republic Strategic Information Service in preparing a trap for the bounty hunter Grand Champion of the Mandalorian Great Hunt, members of Adascorp worked side by side with Jedi Master Juns Semos in preparing to capture the deadly and elusive warrior.

===The Arkanian Revolution===
−
Following the Cold War Arkania remained deeply in the fold of the Republic, despite the chaos and anarchy of the New Sith Wars, the planet did not return to the Sith thrall. As the Republic grew stronger, the Arkanian Dominion also grew in power on Arkania and experimentation expanded almost unfettered. Developing a reputation as a species made up entirely of mad scientists, Arkanian society was greatly threatened by the discovery of the experiments being conducted on the neighboring [[Yaka]] species. The culmination of the social outrage plaguing Arkania came to fruition in 50 BBY when a group of scientists known as the Arkanian Renegades attempted a coup against the Dominion in what came to be known as the Arkanian Revolution. Funded and supplied by Jabba the [[Hutt]] by smuggling weapons and ammunition from the planet Dreddon, these scientists designed cybernetic warriors to wage war against the Dominion and put an end to the lawlessness of the scientific engine on the planet. When the coup failed, a brutal civil war erupted on the planet and the Dominion was forced to call upon the Jedi Order for assistance in ending it. In response, the Jedi High Council dispatched Masters Mace Windu and Aqinos, the latter considered a rogue among the Order for the training of his so-called Iron Knights. Aided by the droid-Jedi, Master Windu was able to defeat the famed warrior Gorm the Dissolver in a savage duel. As the war ended, the Dominion remained in power and the Renegades were all executed leaving Jabba with a surplus of weapons. Gorm survived his duel with Windu and escaped execution, and the Jedi suffered minor losses. Returning to Coruscant, the Iron Knights were made High Marshals of the Republic by Supreme Chancellor Frix, while being excommunicated by the Jedi Order for their straying from the Jedi Code.

===Rise of the Empire===
===Rise of the Empire===
As thoughts of rebellion dwindled, life on Arkania returned to normal and the diamond mines continued to flourish. Dejarik tournaments were held often on the planet and the Jedi Order saw an influx of students entering its academies. Staunch and vocal supporters of the Galactic Constitution within the Galactic Senate, the Arkanian senators strongly opposed the ideals of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Separatist Crisis.[6] By this time, Arkania had largely directed its scientific resources to the cloning industry; establishing many large therapeutic cloning centers which specialized in generating replacement organs for those individuals suffering major afflictions.[17]

When the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Confederacy, the Galactic Senate unveiled its Grand Army of the Republic, a clone army created from the facilities on Kamino. Disgusted by the Republic's use of the army, the respected Arkanian Jedi Knight Serifa Altunen forswore her oath to the Order and returned to her homeworld in an effort to keep Arkania neutral in the war. The High Council dispatched Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to bring her back, but Altunen could not be swayed as she believed she was being guided by the Force.[18] Much to the dismay of the Arkanian government, the Senate eventually voted to halt all non-military cloning with Decree E49D139.41; despite initial fears, certain exemptions were made and Arkanian could continue to produce cloned technology with a license, but were prohibited from exporting it.[17] The war never came to Arkania, due to strict patrols by the 3rd Sector Army, and Arkania remained unspoiled by battle.[14]

Suffering economically from the cloning ban, despite provisions for it to continue on their world, Arkania had no choice but to submit to the Galactic Empire when it rose from the ashes of the Republic at the end of the war. While the Arkanian Dominion played no role in the Galactic Civil War, some members of the species joined the Empire in secret laboratories of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin helping develop bioweapons for the Imperial military machine. When the Empire collapsed, the Arkanians refrained from joining the New Republic due to fear of major, stricter sanctions on their scientific fields.[19] Despite their stance against the Republic, Arkanians did work with the fledgling to wipe out stone mites after the pests destroyed an Arkanian colony in 24 ABY. In the ensuing years, the galaxy was invaded by the [[Yuuzhan Vong]], a species of aliens who declared war on the civilized galaxy. In 27 ABY a fierce battle was fought over Arkania, with the alien invaders ultimately capturing and occupying the world.[2]
