Adascopolis Adascopolis was the ancient capital of the Colonies planet of Arkania and the ancestral seat of the House of Adasca , a rich and powerful family that ran The Adasca BioMechanical Corporation of Arkania , or Adascorp . Nestled within Arkania ' s snow - covered mountains , Adascopolis had strict segregationist policies in place by 3963 BBY — members of the genetically - engineered sub - species known as the Arkanian Offshoot s were forced to live outside the city in derelict mining camps , apart from pureblood Arkanians . During the Mandalorian Wars , Adascorp was run by Arkoh Adasca , the scion of the House of Adasca , who opened the Adascopolis Financial Exchange in the city . In 3963 BBY , an Arkanian Offshoot named Jarael disguised herself as a pureblood Arkanian and sneaked into Adascopolis , hoping to get a medical diagnosis for her ailing friend , an elderly Offshoot named Camper . However , Camper ' s gene tic profile was recognized as that of Gorman Vandrayk , a former Adascorp research scientist , whom Arkoh Adasca required for his future plans . Description . Adascopolis was a city on the world of Arkania , located in the Colonies , and was the traditional seat of Arkania ' s venerated House of Adasca . Located amongst the world ' s freezing tundra and snow - covered mountains , Adascopolis was both the ancient capital and a major corporate and financial center for Arkania . Adascopolis mainly consisted of towers and tall buildings poking out of the snow - covered ground , along with mining camps that doubled as Arkanian Offshoot settlements on the city ' s outskirts . Although Offshoots were not allowed into Adascopolis as of 3963 BBY , with the right disguise it was possible for Offshoots to sneak into the city . Adascopolis had an extremely cold and windy climate to go with its snow - covered terrain . History . Adascopolis was the ancient capital of the planet Arkania and the seat of Arkania ' s House of Adasca , a rich and venerated family that ran a biomechanical corporation commonly known as Adascorp . The Arkanians were keen bioengineers , and they eventually created the Arkanian Offshoot sub - species to aid in mining operations , including digging for valuable gems just outside of Adascopolis . At some point before 3963 BBY , the mine ran dry — not allowed to enter Adascopolis , the Offshoots remained in their ramshackle settlement and lived in relative squalor . With the outbreak of the Mandalorian Wars between the Mandalorian warrior clans and the Galactic Republic , and the devastation of the planet Serroco in 3963 BBY , there was a certain breakdown of civility in Adascopolis noticeable to visitors . Around that time , Adascorp opened the Adascopolis Financial Exchange in the city , an effort that Adascorp hoped would move the galaxy ' s center of commercial gravity toward Arkania . In 3963 BBY , an Arkanian Offshoot named Jarael traveled to Adascopolis looking to obtain a medical diagnosis for her friend , an elderly Offshoot known as Camper , who was seriously ill . Unfamiliar with Adascopolis ' segregationist policies , Jarael was spotted at the Adascopolis spaceport and forced to leave the city . With the help of a young Offshoot named Zadawi , Jarael was able to don a convincing pureblood Arkanian disguise and gain entrance to Adascopolis . Jarael bribed a doctor into helping her , but when Adascorp analyzed his sample and recognized Camper ' s gene tic profile — " Camper " was actually a former Adascorp research scientist named Gorman Vandrayk , whom Adascorp head Arkoh Adasca needed to carry out future plans — Adasca ordered his men to take the Offshoot into custody , knowing that he needed Jarael in order to get to Vandrayk . After a violent skirmish in the medical center , they succeeded , bringing Jarael up to Adasca ' s flagship , the " Arkanian Legacy " . Adasca ' s plan was to use his control of the exogorths — massive spacefaring creatures who devoured stellar matter at an incredible rate — as a bargaining chip to make himself , and Adascorp , into a galactic power . However , when Adasca attempted to sell the exogorths to the highest bidder , his plot was foiled , and he was killed . The whereabouts of the only other remaining heir to the House of Adasca had been unknown since the devastation of Serroco , leaving the door open for a group of investors , headed by the Draay Trust , to file a legal challenge in Adascopolis for the right to bid for control of Adascorp . Inhabitants . Adascopolis was the traditional seat of the House of Adasca and by 3963 BBY was mostly inhabited by pureblood Arkanians . Arkanian Offshoots were not allowed in the city , instead living in the derelict mining camps on the outskirts of town . Offshoots were allowed at the city spaceport but were not permitted to enter the city proper — some older Offshoots justified the policy as being for their own health , since most pureblood illnesses and diseases were extremely deadly to Offshoots . Some Offshoots , including Zadawi and her friends , disguised themselves as pureblood Arkanians from time to time so they could sneak into the city . Locations . Visitors to Adascopolis landed at the Adascopolis spaceport , where they were greeted by a massive hologram of Arkoh Adasca — from there , shuttlebus es took travelers either to the city or , if they were Offshoots , to their settlements on the edge of Adascopolis . The spaceport had a stun baton - wielding security force that ensured Offshoots did not attempt to enter Adascopolis . Adascopolis also boasted the most advanced bioengineering facilities in the galaxy as of 3963 BBY , materials processing labs that aided the Republic during the Mandalorian Wars , and the Adascopolis Financial Exchange . Adascopolis also contained a state - of - the - art medical facility , although while the doctors there balked at treating Offshoots , they could be convinced to for the right price . Behind the scenes . Adascopolis first appeared in " " , a comic written by John Jackson Miller and released in 2007 . The city was also mentioned in two in - universe appearing in other issues of the " " comic series , and in 2008 Adascopolis received an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
