- "Kuat of Kuat had wired up enough sequentially linked explosives to blow up all of Kuat Drive Yards. If he couldn't have it under his control, he didn't want to leave anything but smoking rubble behind. But this Star Destroyer was one of the critical links in the chain; the detonator circuits ran right through its main thruster engine compartment. And when you pulled the ship out of the docks, the chain was broken. Kuat himself didn't live long enough to see what happened, but the result is that over eighty percent of the KDY construction docks survived intact."
- ―Kateel of Kuhlvult, to Boba Fett
In 4 ABY, the Kuat shipyards were bombed by Kuat of Kuat, the director of Kuat Drive Yards. The bombing occurred at the same time as the pivotal Battle of Endor that would determine the outcome of the Galactic Civil War. The objective of Kuat was to prevent the victorious faction, either the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance, to use this turning point to take control of the shipyards and the company. Kuat of Kuat detonated himself the bombs and died in the explosions. However, the indirect intervention of the bounty hunter Boba Fett stopped the chain reaction and prevented the full destruction of the shipyards. At the end, eighty percent of the shipyards remained intact. During the bombing, Rebel pilots of Scavenger Squadron, led by Commander Rozhdenst, managed to run to the docks and save several starships from destruction.[1]
