Canon Linked from 41 articles
The Defense of Kuat, also known as the Kuat Offensive, the Battle of Kuat, the Battle of the Kuat Shipyards, or the battle for Kuat Drive Yards was a multi-week battle fought between the fledgling New Republic and the scattered Galactic Empire in the months following the Battle of Endor for the Kuat Drive Yards shipyards, orbiting the Core World planet of Kuat. The New Republic Defense Fleet inflicted heavy casualties on the defending Imperial Military.
Following the surrender of Moff Pollus Maksim and the guild head of the Kuat Drive Yards, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, the public leader of the Imperial Navy, proposed peace talks with the New Republic to end the conflict, which was supported by the Galactic Senate.
