==History==
===Galactic Republic===
During the Clone Wars, just a few weeks after the First 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.Boba Fett: Crossfire However their victory was short lived when Galactic Republic forces on the planet defeated the rising droid armies during the Second Battle of Excarga. As 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.Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures
===Galactic Empire===
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. 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.
==Behind the scenes==
The planet was first mentioned in the 1995 roleplaying adventure "Countdown to Disaster" from Star Wars Adventure Journal 7, where it was spelled "Exarga." The 1998 reference book Star Wars Encyclopedia corrected the spelling to Excarga,Star Wars Encyclopedia but the misspelling occurred again in 2002 with the article "Mining Guild to Fine Exarga" in HoloNet News Vol. 531 #52.
