h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well we don't find out what happens after New Jedi Order until 2005...


Think you can dig info up on Kuat cause I can't find really useful stuff.


The Remnant stuff might work. I'll think of something.

you want me to make the page? And you to be Kuat of Kuat? (guy in charge of planet, systems, and Kuat Drive Yards) I shall do, if you so wish.

Just need info on Kuat. general terrain etc.

Ok. I'll poke around. I know this much from memory though. Each planet has ship yards in most of their orbits, lots of Gollen Defense platforms for each planet with surface to space defence networks including lots of Planatary shields, turbolasers (like the Hoth ion cannon, only instead of 3 shots to deactivate an ISD, its three to kill it), and ion cannons (the huge ones like on Hoth).

I also know that the head of Kuat Drive Yards, the Kuat Family, and the Kuati government is the oldest mentaly able (and direct descendant) of the Kuat family. Its like a corporate monarchy.

I'll try look up more info in the SW Encyclopedia and the ship guides for more about the Kuat system and Corporation.

Daver Kuat
this temperate world was the third planet in the Kuat System. It was orbited by two moons. (CCW)


Inner Kuat Traffic Zone
this was the name given to the area located between the planet of Kuat and the three main spaceports which served it: the Kuat Passenger Port, the Kuat Freight Port, and the Imperial Transfer Post. Civilian starships were not allowed within this Zone, as non-qualified ships were forbidden to travel directly to Kuat. (PSPG)


InterGalacticBank of Kuat
this was the most prominent of the financial institutions based on the planet Kuat during the last decades of the Old Republic. Much of the collateral controlled by the bank was stored on Aargau during this time. Jango Fett stored his entire fortune within the vaults of the InterGalacticBank of Kuat, in trust until they could be turned over to his son, Boba. (BF3)


Kuat
this planet was of prime importance to the New Order, for the Kuat Drive Yards shipyards there were among the first to mass-produce warships for the Empire. It was originally settled more than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, by a group of merchant families who hoped to form the most influential ship-building operation in the galaxy. They terraformed the planet and developed it into a temperate world which was devoid of predators, then began creating vast orbital shipyards. In spite of opposition from the trade consortiums of the age, the family managed to create the Kuat Drive Yards. The relationship between Kuat and the Empire was formed during the early days of the New Order, and blossomed when the Kuat Drive Yards were made into the primary facility for the construction of Star Destroyers. A forested world of pastoral beauty, Kuat was one of four planets located in the Kuat Sector, located in the most densely-populated area of the galaxy. The planet was orbited by three immense space stations, built by the Empire to manage traffic in and out of the system. The Kuat Passenger Port was dedicated to civilian and tourist traffic. The Kuat Freight Port was dedicated to the transport of goods to and from Kuat. The third station was strictly for use by the Imperial military,and controlled all access to the surface of Kuat. During the Clone Wars, the proximity of Kuat to Neimoidia - separated by less than six parsecs - put the two worlds into direct competition. Kuati officials tried to infiltrate Neimoidian facilities by sending in modified worker droids with concealed spyware, but Neimoidian paranoia had placed safeguards around their all their technologies. (SWSB, XWN, MA, PSPG, EGP, SWI68, CCW)


Kuat
this star was the central body of the Kuat System. (CCW)


Kuat
this was the name of the strongest of the many family clans which ruled the planet Kuat. Like all Kuati families, they continued to enhance their bloodlines by using telbuns to birth their children. However, the Kuat family maintained a strong genetic structure, and proved themselves more than able to manage the huge Kuat Drive Yards. Several generations prior to the Battle of Yavin, all the great families agreed on the Inheritance Exemption, which allowed the Kuat family to pass control of KDY down through successive generations. This was challenged by several families just prior to the Battle of Endor, a coup attempt which was successfully averted by Kuat of Kuat only by nearly destroying the KDY facilities. (MA, SLS, HM)


Kuat
this descendant of the ancient Kuat family controlled the vast Kuat Drive Yards during the last years of the Old Republic and throughout the New Order. Although never truly appreciated, Kuat of Kuat worked diligently to maintain the independence of KDY in the face of Emperor Palpatine's growing power. He fiercely refused to be part of the first Death Star project, an action denounced by the ruling families of Kuat until the station was destroyed near Yavin. Unknown to most of the Kuati clans until the end of the New Order, Kuat even tried to eliminate Prince Xizor of Black Sun, when the Falleen began trying to take control of the shipyards. The plot involved implicating Xizor in the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars on Tatooine, an event which Kuat recorded and later added traces of Falleen pheromones to an olfactory sensor. If the plan worked, Luke Skywalker would break off his involvement with the Alliance long enough to eliminate Xizor, thereby removing one of Kuat's chief enemies. The plot never got a chance to succeed, because the droid containing the falsified evidence was lost by its courier, Ree Duptom, when his ship's engines failed. The droid fell into the hands of Boba Fett, and Kuat found himself trying to kill the bounty hunter in order to recover the droid. Several attempts were made, including a bombing run in the Tatooine desert near the Sarlacc pit, to ensure Fett's death. These efforts didn't go unnoticed, though, as several of the other Kuati families took them as personal vendettas and signs that Kuat was no longer working in KDY's best interests. The family's plotting eventually took in Kuat's security chief, Fenald, and his replacement, Kodir of Kuhlvult. Through it all, however, Kuat maintained the upper hand. In the end, he was forced to destroy the KDY facilities, rather than let them fall into the hands of anyone else. In this, too, Kuat was thwarted by the efforts of the Alliance and Boba Fett himself. The bounty hunter managed to flee the destruction in a slaved Star Destroyer, taking with him most of the explosives Kuat had hoped to use. In the end, Kuat returned to the main facilities and was killed in the explosions he himself had set off. (MA, SLS, HM)


Kuat Central Authority
this was the security force which controlled the movement of starships to and from the Kuat Drive Yards facilities in orbit near the planet Kuat. It also controlled the traffic destined to the planet itself. (IF)


Kuat City
this was one of the largest cities on the planet Kuat, and it served as the primary debarkation point for any being - Kuati or otherwise - who landed on the planet's surface. Offworlders were forced to wade through piles of regulations and costly permits in order to leave the city. (HT, CCW)


Kuat Commerce Council
this governmental agency was responsible for establishing, maintaining, and growing all forms of business which took place on Kuat or within the Kuat System. (PSPG)


Kuat Drive Yards
KDY is one of the top three starship manufacturers, along with Corellian Engineering Corporation and Sienar Fleet Systems. KDY was controlled by the ruling families of the planet Kuat, with each new ruler being chosen from among the most competent in a vote. However, it was determined that the Kuat family had the most aptitude for running the huge corporation, and the ruling families established the Inheritance Exemption. This allowed control of KDY to pass from one generation of the Kuat family to the next, thereby ensuring that the most able of the Kuat minds was continually in control of the corporation. This meant that KDY was always generating vast amounts of wealth for all the ruling families. Kuat Drive Yards remained independent from any governmental body, from the time of its inception during the Old Republic throughout the New Order of Emperor Palpatine. It is perhaps most famous for its production of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. It also produced many shipboard components, as well as the Nebulon-B frigate. KDY aligned itself with the Empire, and remained pro-Imperial after the Battle of Endor. It was also one of the original Signatory Sponsors of the Corporate Sector Authority. Unknown to most buyers, every ship which left Kuat Drive Yards was given a regulator subcode in its computer system. This trapdoor allowed Kuat Drive Yards engineers to obtain control of a ship for diagnostics and repairs. These codes could also be used to break into a ship and take control from its user. This fact was never revealed, in part to save KDY from the wrath of Emperor Palpatine. During the last days of the New Order, shortly before the Battle of Endor, much of Kuat Drive Yards was destroyed by Kuat of Kuat. He hoped to ensure that no one - not the Empire, the Alliance, or Kodir of Kuhlvult - would take control of the operation. He acted nobly, but was unaware of the forces around him. In fact, the bounty hunter Boba Fett was his greatest ally, and helped expose Kodir's treacherous plans. The future leaders of KDY maintained Kuat of Kuat's series of explosives, which could be detonated if the facilities ever were in danger of being captured. (JS, SCRE, EGV, CSA, MA, SLS, HM, IF)

Kuat Freight Port
a division of Kuat Drive Yards, the Freight Port handled all incoming shipments of raw materials as well as movement of materials within the Drive Yards. Despite its name, the port was actually located some distance from Kuat, on the edge of the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone, in order to protect the planet itself from being deluged with traffic. (SWJ9, PSPG)


Kuat Leisure
a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, Kuat Leisure produced a number of pleasure starships during the last decades of the Old Republic. (SWI66)


Kuat Passenger Port
this was the Kuat orbital spaceport which handled passenger traffic. Like the Kuat Freight Port, the Passenger Port was located some distance from Kuat itself on the edge of the Inner Kuat Transfer Zone. The Port was made up of five domes, with four of the domes designed for docking and the central dome for a hub. One outer dome served those passengers traveling to or from worlds outside the Core. Another served those travelers heading to or from Core worlds. Another dome served Imperial installations, while the fourth dome was for passengers heading to ro from Kuat itself. (PSPG)


Kuat Photonics
this privately-held corporation was based on the planet Kuat during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Several ships being used to ferry supplies to the Peace Brigade were traced by Talon Karrde back to Kuat Photonics, but there was no way to implicate anyone specifically in the supplying of the ships. Han Solo had hoped to find Viqi Shesh among the corporate owners, but there was no evidence to that effect. (EVR)


Kuat Systems Engineering
KSE was a short-lived subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards created in the waning days of the Old Republic. It produced a few well-designed but poorly marketed starships, including the CloakShape fighter and the Firespray-class attack ship. The lack of sales eventually led to KSE being re-integrated under the KDY banner as an after-market upgrade kit manufacturer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, KSE was sold off to a group of Imperial loyalists. It was later revealed that the loyalists were really Vaathkree merchants with strong ties to the New Republic. The Dark Empire Sourcebook says that KSE was the forerunner of KDY was charged with developing new starfighters for the Empire. One of their first starships was the CloakShape Fighter. (MTS, DESB, EGV)


Kuat Vehicles
this small branch of Kuat Drive Yards manufactured terrestrial transportation, such as swoops. (GG9)


Kuat Vonak
this small corporation produced several versions of laser cannons for light to medium duty. (OE)


Kuati
this was the term used to describe the human inhabitants of the planet Kuat. True Kuati could trace their family roots back to the ten merchant families who first terraformed the planet, more than 25,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. (CCW)


Kuati First Holo-News
this sensationalist tabloid had an office on Coruscant, from which is reported on the trial of Tycho Celchu. (KT)


Kuati Security Forces
this was the primary police and security force that protected the planet Kuat and its surrounding system

Rothana Heavy Engineering
a division of Kuat Drive Yards, this was one of the largest manfacturing corporations found in the Old Republic, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Rothana produced the Acclamator-class military transport and several other ground-based vehicles in support of the Army of the Republic. It is said to be impossible to get a spy into Rothana, because they have traditions, languages, and dialects that even other Kuati cannot mimic. (HNN5, X2, SWDB)


There, got all of that off theforce.net's encyclopedia. Hope it helps in the creation of Kuat

here's more stuff:

Andrim Shipyards
this was one of the three primary starship construction facilities that made up the Kuat Drive Yards. Like its companions, the Andrim Shipyards was located in a ring of facilities that orbited the planet Kuat. It was owned by the influential House Andrim. (CCW)


Bador
this was one of the two moons which orbited the planet Kuat. (CCW)


Deponn Shipyards
this was one of the three primary starship construction facilities that made up the Kuat Drive Yards. Like its companions, the Deponn Shipyards was located in a ring of facilities that orbited the planet Kuat. (CCW)

Drebin
this large herbivore was native to the planet Kuat, and was maintained by the human population because it created a natural form of compost, which was used in gardening. (EGP)

Goravas
this volcanic world was the second planet in the Kuat System. It was orbited by a single moon. (CCW)


Gortis
this barren, rocky world was the fifth planet in the Kuat System. It was orbited by three moons. (CCW

Maw Shipyards
this was one of the three primary starship construction facilities that made up the Kuat Drive Yards. Like its companions, the Maw Shipyards was located in a ring of facilities that orbited the planet Kuat. (CCW)

Rasapan
this gas giant was the sixth and outermost planet of the Kuat System. It was orbited by twenty-two moons. (CCW)

Rothana
located in the Kuat Sector of the galaxy, Rothana was one of the most industrialized planets in the sector. The primary world in the Rothana System, it served as the base of operations for Rothan Heavy Engineering, a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards, during the last century of the Old Republic. Its proximity to the Kamino System meant that Rothana was chosen by the Kaminoans as the construction site for many of the war machines employed by the clone troopers of the Army of the Republic. (X2, SWDB)

You rip that from the unofficial Encyclopedia?

yah, but I assume it is all trustworthy. I remember many of the things said from the books. Besides, I lost the link to the official one
