Undercover attack on Kuat

Hours after Imperial and New Republic forces fought in a battle at Kuat in 8 ABY, which resulted in a New Republic victory, Imperial undercover agents attacked the shipyards of Kuat Drive Yards. The agents triggered explosives that ripped through the docks, and activated the Aurora and Stellar Halo hyperdrives, sending them in to Kuat's sun. The agents also abducted key KDY designers and fled to the Deep Core aboard the half-complete Eclipse.
