Industry in the SW Galaxy

Kuat Drive Yards

Kuat drive yards proper was both a home of and monument to the power of Industry in the Galaxy. Unlike many planets that are famous for their industrial output, Kuat itself was pristine and clean. A garden world, the planet Kuat was inhabited by the owners of what was one of the wonders of the galaxy, orbiting over their heads.

Orbiting the planet Kuat was a solid ring, several thousand kilometers above the planet's surface. This ring was the primary shipyard for the planet, and would build the lion's share of the Imperial Fleet. There were several other shipyards scattered through the system, the most impressive of which was an outer ring of independent stations that completely encircled the star system.

Construction Droids

Sometimes referred to as the Death Star's little brothers, these automatons were the primary means of Urban renewal on Coruscant. Each was a towering edifice that 'walked' along the 'ground', serving as a mobile factory and wrecker. As materials were broken down at one end of the droid, they were reformed and reused in the construction ongoing at the other end. The exact mechanisms remain unclear, but these droids are able to erect fully functioning factories in three days.
