Kuat Drive Yards

Orbiting the planet Kuat, the Kuat Drive Yards was the largest military shipbuilding corporation in the Galaxy in the time before and after the Galactic Civil War. It owned several subsidiary corporations including Kuat Systems Engineering and Rothana Heavy Engineering (the latter of which provided armament and ships for Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's clone army during Clone Wars) as well as Kuat Leisure and Kuat Vehicles. Kuat Drive Yards was one of the few major corporations which sided with the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars, against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Kuat Drive Yards' major competitors for major military contracts during the Imperial reign included Sienar Fleet Systems and Corellian Engineering Corporation.
