'''Acquara''' is a water-covered planet seen in the ''[[Farscape]]'' episode "[[Episode 114: Jeremiah Crichton|Jeremiah Crichton]]."

Many years ago, the [[Hynerians|Hynerian]] dominar Rygel X sent out a group of colonists to Acquara to spread the [[Hynerian Empire]]'s influence. However, they were abandoned and trapped on Acquara by a secret device that drains the power of all machinery, including starships.

Acquarans live in tribes headed by a chief called the "Grondeer." Additionally, priestans, who read from the Timbala, wield a great deal of authority. The Timbala is a sacred text written in ancient Hynerian. It tells the story of the Masata, the Acquaran's savior who has guided the priestans and will eventually lead them out of exile. Over time, however, the Timbala has been distorted by the priestans so they can increase their power.

In Acquaran society, females choose their lifemates, regardless of how males feel. Acquaran fauna include the [[Shakloom]], an aquatic creature hunted for food.
