HistoryEdit

Galactic RepublicEdit

During the Clone Wars, just a few weeks after the Battle of Geonosis, the Confederacy of Independent Systems initiated an attack on the planet after learning of the valuable ore located there. The C.I.S. attack on Excarga was successful and they imprisoned the planet's population.^[1] However their victory was short lived when Galactic Republic forces on the planet defeated the rising droid armies during the Second Battle of Excarga.^[1] As the the C.I.S. fleet fled the planet a Republic fleet under the command of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker attempted to destroy any droid transports before they could escape into hyperspace.^[2]

Galactic EmpireEdit

The planet later fell under the influence of the Galactic Empire, and was represented in Imperial Senate by Drextar Pym. The ore-producing world for the most part managed to stay far from the front lines during the Galactic Civil War, while it secretly suppled the Rebel Alliance with materials.^[3] However, an unknown battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire occurred here sometime during the Galactic Civil War between 0 BBY to 4 ABY. Following the Battle of Endor, Excarga became an active member of the New Republic.^[3]
