The Republic Embassy served as the diplomatic outpost for the Galactic Republic on the Inner Rim planet of Manaan. It facilitated negotiations, led by diplomat Roland Wann, with the Ahto City Civil Authority concerning the exportation of kolto from the officially neutral world, which was the homeworld of the amphibious Selkath.
Hidden beneath the waves, the Galactic Republic covertly constructed the unauthorized Hrakert Station, reachable via submersible from the Embassy. Certain Selkath aided in this endeavor, recognizing the potential enslavement of their species by the Sith Empire should they conquer Manaan. The Sith managed to seize a droid containing vital data about the Station. However, before the Sith could access this information, the redeemed Jedi Revan, dispatched by Roland Wann, intercepted it and returned it to the Republic Embassy. As a reward, Roland Wann authorized Revan to use a submersible to travel to Hrakert Station in search of a Star Map. There, Revan learned that the Progenitor, a creature guarding the Star Map, had driven the Selkath mad. By dismantling the Republic's equipment, Revan pacified the Progenitor and successfully retrieved the Star Map. Eventually, the Selkath destroyed the embassy, leveling it completely.
