With this purchase, Kuat took its place as the top ship builder in the Old Republic. In 500 BBY KDY bought the company and retired the Core Galaxy Systems name. Between price wars, industrial espionage, and more underhanded tactics, Core Galaxy suffered severe losses and was forced to sell its assets. Kuat set its sights on becoming a member of this group, and engaged in a vicious competition with Core Galaxy Systems. KDY was not a top tier shipyard, however that title was held by the triumvirate made up of Core Galaxy Systems, Corellia StarDrive, and Hoersch-Kessel Drive, Inc. In the millennia that followed, the shipyards became noted for building warships that served in the Republic Navy throughout both the Old Sith Wars and the New Sith Wars. Despite their use of sabotage, espionage, and hired pirate groups, the trade groups failed to stop the Kuat families, who settled their internal differences by signing the Inheritance Exemption which gave the Kuat family perpetual control over Kuat Drive Yards.Īfter these early difficulties, the shipyard grew rapidly in both size and prestige, and by 5,000 BBY it was known as a first-class galactic ship builder. This project faced opposition from fledgling trade consortia as well as internal dissent within the merchant families. They hired terraformers to change the planet Kuat into a paradise world while engineers designed and built the first six of many orbital shipyard complexes.

These merchants, led by the Kuat family, joined together with the intent to create the largest, most efficient shipyard in the galaxy. Kuat and the orbital shipyard array Kuat Drive Yards was founded in the early days of the Galactic Republic by a group of human aristocrats known as the Ten. History Edit Founding and early history Edit These circumstances helped to make Kuat Drive Yards one of the most famous corporations in the galaxy.
