Bilbringi Shipyards

The Bilbringi Shipyards were a major military production facility first controlled by the Empire, then later the New Republic.

Bilbringi and its shipyards were a major component of Grand Admiral Thrawn's war machine. He turned the facility, under the command of General Drast, almost exclusively to the production of Star Destroyers. Several times during the Thrawn Crisis, smugglers inflitrated the yards – resulting in the destruction of one nearly completed Star Destroyer.

In 5 ABY, Talon Karrde and his crew saw the Empire working on a group of asteroids which were being outfitted with cloaking devices. Karrde would later give the data to the New Republic after Thrawn blockaded the world.

Bilbringi was the site of the showdown between Thrawn's forces and the New Republic – though the Republic took heavy losses, in the end they were victorious and captured the shipyards. The Lusankya was taken there after it was captured by the Republic and repaired.

During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the shipyards built vessels for the Republic until they were taken sometime in 27 ABY. They were later targeted by the Galactic Alliance during Operation Trinity, but the mission failed due to a combination of factors.

After the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered, the fate of the shipyards are unknown.
