Kuat Drive Yards




Kuat Drive Yards is the largest military shipbuilding corporation in the fictional Star Wars universe and owns 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). KDY is one of the few major corporations which sided with the Galactic government 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. After the Galactic Civil War, New Republic took control of Kuat Drive Yards and the company began production of spaceships for the Republic, however, some factories of Kuat Drive Yards continued building Star Destroyers and Walkers for the Imperial Remnant. The main shipyards at the Kuat system actually ring the entirety of the system and in terms of sheer manufacturing ability it was first among equals. KDY also sells planetary turbolasers, which, according to their catalog, is the "first, last, and only line of defense" for a planet. ==Subsidiaries== ===Rothana Heavy Engineering=== This subsidiary was in operation prior to and during the Clone Wars, they had a contract with the cloners on Kamino and created war machines for the Galactic Republic's clone troopers army.

This article is the epitome of non encyclopedic fancruft articles and should be deleted. Is this really the biggest manufacturer? I thought Sienar Fleet Systems was about as big. What's the source on this?-User:LtNOWIS 18:12, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) *I would say they're about equal. One built for the Republic, the other for the Empire. But KDY is the more notable of the two. Epitome of fancruft? I think not. -- User:Riffsyphon1024 22:10, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) **I believe they've got the larger shipyards of the two, but as far as revenues go I think they're pretty much the same. User:Shadowtrooper 05:14, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC) ***Thanks for the responses. Oh, and the 1st sentence wasn't me, it was a previous poster. I should've made a line. (Just now signing my name)-User:LtNOWIS 20:22, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Merge from?== ''Talk:Star Wars Organization I think perhaps Star Wars Organization should simply be delete after all there is already an article for List of minor Star Wars organizations and the article has no particularly new info for Kuat Drive Yards. -- User:Lochaber 15:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
