Mon Calamari Orbital Shipyards

The Mon Calamari Orbital Shipyards, also known as the Mon Calamari Starship Construction Facilities, and best known simply as the Mon Calamari Shipyards, were massive shipyards that orbited the planet Dac.

The starship yards of Dac were built thousands of years before the fall of the Galactic Republic but they acquired galactic renown during the Galactic Civil War by producing elegant and powerful capital warships for the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and later for the New Republic. The size and productivity of the Mon Calamari Shipyards increased so much under the New Republic that they had became one of the largest shipyards of the galaxy at the time of the Galactic Alliance. However, the fame of the shipyards eventually led to their doom. A large portion of the Mon Calamari Orbital Shipyards were destroyed during the Second Imperial Civil War and the remaining facilities were abandoned as the entire population of Dac was slaughtered by the One Sith.
