A shipyard was a place where spaceships were either constructed or repaired, typically located in orbit around a planet.

HistoryEdit

There were many shipyards in the galaxy, with the three largest located at Kuat, Corellia, and Fondor.

At the height of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Order of Battle called for at least two deepdock shipyards to be maintained in each sector, in addition to as many orbital yards as were needed to maintain its sector group.

By the time of 4 ABY shortly before the Battle of Endor, there were 30 civilian shipyards, 31 shipyards reserved for the Imperial military, and only 6 shipyards not affiliated with the Imperials at all. Of these, 27 of all 67 shipyards worked on the Imperial-class ships only, 22 worked on cruisers only, and 18 worked on both.^[1]
