Kuat

Kuat is a planet in the Core Worlds, and one of the earliest members of the Galactic Republic. It is best known as the home of Kuat Drive Yards, one of the major shipbuilders in the Republic. Kuat was colonized by humans from Coruscant around 2447 BC, and Kuat sent colony ships of their own to Alsakan, Axum, Tepasi, and Humbarine by 947 BC. Kuat has a matriarchal society, and is ruled by a group of wealthy families, known as the Ten.
