Forum:Need some info from "Kuati-Neimoidian Arms Race Escalates" article

What exactly is the status for Kuat in regards to Republic military control? From other sources I've seen Corellia trying to go independent and isolationistic while Humbarine willingly gave their forces over to Republic control at the start of the war. What exactly did Kuat do, and those this article give some info? I know it talks of mining hyperspace routes and increasing planetary defenses, but is there something political as well?
