Return to Kuat Sector

The Kuat System is the Capital system of the seven systems that make up the Kuat Sector.

Located near the great Galactic crossroad of the Coruscant system, it is one of the most frequented systems in the galaxy and home to over thirty billion people, as well as Kuat Drive Yards; owners of the numerous shipyards that produce a vast numbers of ships ranging from small fighters to the colossal Star Destroyers.

Kuat’s only sun maintains the circular orbit of the planets within the system, most of which are outside the habitable zone and therefore have extremely hot or cold climates, the exception being the planet Kuat, whose proximity to its star gives it a moderately temperate climate.

The system is also home to a number of platforms and luxury space colonies whose primary functions are the accommodation and entertainment of tourists. Despite the fact that Kuat is mostly focused on industry, the result being the creation of thousands of large corporations and a never-ending production of ships, the system has a lot to offer to visiting nature-loving explorers determined to discover unspoiled locations and beautiful landscapes which still hold a decent percentage of the surface of the planets below.

A Political Power Struggle

Kuat Drive Yards

It's no secret that the Kuat Drive Yards is one of the most important industrial complexes in the entirety of the galaxy, so it stands to reason that countless galactic citizens have tried to get their hands on a piece of the pie, hoping to reap endless rewards and riches. However, one Imperial agent sought to protect that in the face of overwhelming adversity and at great danger to herself. This is the story of Eisley Leandar.

Named after her birthplace, Mos Eisley, Leander grew up impoverished and struggling to survive along with her parents , who were part of a nomadic tribe that wandered the wastes of Tatooine. they survived by scaring up what little nourishment they could and often risking barter and trade with bandits, pirates, outcasts and even Tuscan Raiders for basic needs. When she was only ten years old, her parents succumbed to a fast spreading disease and was soon left to her own devices. Over the next few years she had to look after herself: stealing, scraping, and sometimes even killing in order to survive, but she would eventually find her calling on a planet far from the dusty desert she had been born. Fed up with the constant struggle of barely hanging onto life and the never-ending risk of death around every corner, she overheard there was an unregistered transport shuttle that was enroute to Coruscant. A Trandoshan pirate, who she regularly worked for stealing components from nearby junker shops, described a gleaming, planet wide city, full of soaring skyscrapers and endless opportunities for those hungry enough to find them. Hungry enough she was and through various deals she was able to sneak aboard the shuttle, one step closer to her destiny.

Over the next ten years of her life on Coruscant she ran with local gang members, thieves, murders, and gamblers, eventually landing herself in an Imperial correctional facility. Yet, her streetwise abilities, tactile negotiation skills, and the fact that she spoke nearly eight different dialects and languages caught the attention of local ISB agents, who released her on the condition she work for them. Quickly rising through the ranks and impressing even the most suspicious, resistant superiors, she would eventually come to be a senior agent within the Imperial Security Bureau, which would bring her face to face with the most important event of her life involving the Kuat Drive Yards and an Imperial Logistical Officer named, Commander Harken.

ISB Agent Eisley Leandar

It was the year 18 of the galactic timeline, when Kuat Drive Yards was in the middle of doing a major overhaul of their facilities, updating systems and modules with the latest processing units and amenities. Investors from all over the galaxy wanted to be the first to offer up lucrative deals, contractors from every corner of Imperial space went into bidding wars, and the Galactic Empire was busy enforcing new policies that would put tighter limitations on where materials and workers were sourced. It was controlled chaos, which was the perfect time for opportunists to slip in under the radar, hoping to score big. Agent Eisley was tasked with overseeing the internal security of the facility, ensuring that Imperial Officers followed protocol and correctly implemented the new restrictions. It was no easy task. The sheer size of the project that was being undertook meant security concerns were everywhere and she had to double the size of her team in order to keep up with the demands.

It was early morning and Agent Eisley was always one of the first to rise aboard the station. She knew this, because she made personal routine inspections of each section of the facility every week and mentally notated who was where and what business they were engaged in. Only a few others shared the corridors with her in the wee hours of the day: Commander Harken, the stations logistical operations officer, his assistant Lieutenant Price and a few maintenance crewmen who were responsible for routine checks on the facilities anti-fire systems. Agent EIsley would always stop for a quick check in with Commander Harken every morning. She enjoyed her chats with the Commander. He was intelligent, knowledgable and highly informed about everything coming in and out of the facility. He'd become her confidant of sorts and was never unaccounted for, until this particular morning.

She found his assistant Lieutenant Price in his normal spot, reviewing the days projected incoming and outgoing shipments. "I haven't seen the Commander since the end of shift yesterday, sir," the Lieutenant mentioned. Agent Eisley furrowed her brow, "Anything seem out of the ordinary? The Commander has never failed to attend to his routine duties." The Lieutenant thought for a second before responding, "He did mention something yesterday about a special dignitary, but that wasn't supposed to be for another week." Agent Eisley shifted uncomfortably, "I know nothing of a new dignitary. Our last scheduled to arrive was from the Trade Federation, a minister Zuel and he's been here four days already." The Lieutenant scanned through his datapad only to come up with nothing, "Huh. I could have sworn it was on the schedule just yesterdsay and now it appears to be missing." Agent Eisley turned quickly, "Comm me if you hear from him, Lieutenant." She didn't even away his response as she made her way back to her office. Scanning through the internal database, she knew any trace of data could never be completely wiped from the system as backups were made every few seconds for security purposes. If what the Lieutenant said was true, there would still be a trace.

Only moments later, there it was, staring her right in the face. Creedon Flair from the Corellian Engineering Corporation, Hanger Bay 14-A. She knew something was out of line. No unauthorized personnel, without ISB notification, was allowed into the facility. Commander Harken, seasoned as he was, would know these procedures, which were in place even before the new restrictions came to pass. Leandar suited up, not taking any chancse and commed over to her security detail to meet her at the hanger bay. She approached the door and inserted her code cylinder into the access panel. The doors opened with a swoosh and she almost shot the stately looking man standing right in the doorway who startled her and her team. "Agent Eisley, I'm Creedon Flair. I was expecting you. Please, forgive the secrecy. Let us sit and chat," said the man with elegant features as he motioned over to a small table setup to the side complete with tea and biscuits. Leandar didn't like it. It felt like a setup. She nodded to her team who spread out and began to inspect a lonely shuttle and its attending crew.
