Kuat Drive Yards Orbital Array

The Kuat Drive Yards Orbital Array, often simply known as the Kuat Drive Yards, was a group of connected space stations that orbited and completely encircled the planet Kuat as an immense ring.

Description


The Orbital Array was made of fifteen modules, including three shipyards that constituted the Kuat Drive Yards and produced some of the most memorable starships in the galaxy.

As many Kuati lived in the ring, the Orbital Array also consisted of many apartment complexes, hotels, restaurants, shops, medical facilities, and places of entertainment. Most of offworlders that visited Kuat remained in the ring during their entire stay. Kuati Security Forces regularly patrolled all areas within the ring.

The Orbital Array had its own weapons systems to defend against hostile starships, although they lack fire power to destroy capital ships.

History
