"Individual control of the company was passed along through a mix of hereditary bloodline and corporate approval. The person nominally at the head of KDY was, confusingly, generally referred to as Kuat of Kuat."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

Kuat of Kuat was a title held by the individual who was nominally head of the company Kuat Drive Yards. It was a position of individual control that was determined by a combination of bloodline inheritance within the noble Kuati family and approval by the corporation itself. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the senior executives beneath the Kuat of Kuat numbered in the hundreds. A file on the Kuat of Kuat was kept in the Kuat Drive Yards section of the Imperial Archives, and the historian Beaumont Kin cited the file when mentioning the title in[1] his[2] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[3]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, the Kuat of Kuat was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1] The title originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared in K. W. Jeter's 1998 novel The Mandalorian Armor, the first book in the The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy.[4]

  3. ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
