This article is about the shipyards, also dubbed Kuat Drive Yards. You may be looking for the company Kuat Drive Yards, which operated the shipyards.

"The shipyards of Kuat are famous throughout the galaxy. Here, the Republic's Acclamator assault ships and the Empire's Star Destroyers were built. A vast man-made ring of factories and spacedocks encircles the planet, allowing huge vessels to be built in orbit."
―The Galactic Atlas[9]

The Kuat shipyards,[3] also dubbed Kuat Drive Yards after their custodian company,[10] consisted of a massive space station which encircled[11] the Core[1] planet Kuat, utilized by Kuat Drive Yards. After the founding of the Galactic Empire,[12] in 19 BBY[13] the shipyards were converted from civilian shipyards, to the manfacture of Imperial-class Star Destroyers,[12] and all manner of vehicles for the Galactic Empire.[3] Rebel agents were located near the Kuat Shipyards, and gave reports to General Airen Cracken about their findings.[2] In 5 ABY,[14] the New Republic, the successor state of the Rebel Alliance, attacked once the shipyards again. The battle ended with a surrender from the Empire, and the shipyards were taken.[6]
