Aqualish Civil War


The Aqualish Civil War was a conflict fought among the three distinct Aqualish races: Aquala, Quara, and Ualaq. The Aquala initiated the hostilities, placing blame on the Quara and Ualaq for diminishing fish populations attributed to overfishing. This internecine struggle brought the Aqualish races perilously close to complete annihilation. The war's conclusion arrived with the landing of an extragalactic exploratory vessel on Ando. Legend suggests this ship originated from either Corellia or Duro. The three Aqualish subspecies then unified, eliminating the ship's crew with the objective of acquiring the secrets of interstellar space travel and starship construction. Ultimately, they assembled a fleet of starships. Functioning as a unified species, they commenced a protracted campaign of conquest, beginning with a war against Andando, Ando's neighboring planet, which was rendered uninhabitable through bombardment. The narrative culminated in the Aqualish–Republic War, resulting in Ando's eventual integration into the Galactic Republic in 15,000 BBY.
