Kuat

Kuat was a planet.

Description
"Gatalentan philosophy prizes the delicacy of compassion, something which my parents hoped to instill in me. Alderaan and its survivors still cherish their duty to desire. And Kuat takes what it wishes without compromise."

- Amilyn Holdo

Kuat was home to Kuat Systems Engineering, Kuat Vehicles, Kuat Drive Yards, and the Kuati Security Forces.

The zero-gravity Valdin Vineyards produced a bubbly wine found in galactic wine collections.

Republic Era
The government, society, and economy of Kuat was dominated by The Ten, the group of Elder Houses including luminaries House Trask, House Shesh, House Grivven, and House Kuat itself. The Kuati nobles were said to take what they wished without compromise. Kuat shipwrights produced warships for the Galactic Republic which they strove to imbue with striking imagery of domination and power. This led to many Republic ships sporting phallic imagery.

Kalyn Farnmir, a Kuat native, was a member of the Kuati Security Forces until she was set up by corrupt Kuat Drive Yards officials. They blackmailed her into a gang-bang with Neimoidian agents and exposed her supposed indiscretions to the Kuati. Farnmir was dishonorably discharged and became a bounty hunter. The Jedi Bultar Swan came from Kuat.

Risi Lenoan served as the Senator of Kuat in the Galactic Senate.

Imperial Era
Kuat became a planet of the Galactic Empire. Kuat Systems Engineering manufactured the A-wing starfighter line, many of which were acquired and modified by Alliance Underground Engineering for use as Alliance to Restore the Republic starfighters. Leia Organa chose the name "Viqi" for her persona as a prostitute and exotic dancer&mdash;a Kuati word with a shared Deltron heritage. She was blackmailed into sexual service by Owell Trask, a member of House Trask, who counted Onara Kuat among his previous lovers.

Gina Moonsong participated in the fighting during an attack on Kuat.

New Republic Era
During the New Republic Era, Kuat was aligned with the Centrist Party, and was among the worlds that contained Imp bars for those who sympathized with or were once part of the former Galactic Empire. Inhabitants of the New Alderaan habitation sphere attempted to restart the production of Alderaanian Toniray by using clippings from Kuat's Valdin Vineyards, but the taste differed from the original.

Tam Ryvora hailed from Kuat as the daughter of a Kuati racer.

Kuat-Entralla Engineering, manufacturer of the Mega-class Star Destroyer Supremacy, shared its name with the planet.
