 Kuat was located in the Kuat system, in Kuat Sector, in the Core Worlds near the Deep Core. It was a terraformed planet of forests and plains. Kuat was colonized around the time the Galactic Republic was formed. A group of wealthy families, known as the Ten, joined together to create the largest shipbuilding concern in the Galaxy, while terraforming Kuat to serve their needs. The Human Kuati had a matriarchal society. From Kuat, they sent out colony ships of their own. For example, the Kuat Explorer colonized Alsakan in 26,000 BBY.

Kuat was one of the Core Founders. In 23 BBY, local freedom fighters opposed Separatist allies of Count Dooku, but were wiped out by Jango Fett. About that time, Risi Lenoan was elected to serve as Kuat's Senator. In 21 BBY, the Republic increased their defenses of Kuat, and in a counter move, the Confederacy of Independent Systems strengthened their defense at nearby Neimoidia. During the Clone Wars, Lenoan was replaced as Senator by Giddean Danu, who signed the Petition of 2000. Danu's conservative, pro-Jedi principles were not popular with Kuati aristocrats, who twice failed to remove him from office.
During Imperial control, Kuat could only be accessed via three ports within the main Kuat Traffic Zone, which was along the Hydian Way; a passenger port, a freight port, and a Imperial transfer port.
Accessible to the passenger port were the systems of Redrish, Drurish, Ulion, and Kidir. Accessible to the freight port were the systems of Monadin, Renegg, Venir, and Horthav. Information on the Imperial port was classified.
In 2 BBY, a Rebel fleet led by the Sundered Heart attacked the shipyards. This led to the Star Destroyer Tyranny over Fresia rushing to protect Kuat, leaving Fresia vulnerable to a Rebel raid that resulted in the acquisition of the first X-wings. In 3 ABY, the Rebels, having recently lost much equipment in asteroid collisions (probably during the evacuation of Hoth), in a daring heist with inside help, stole a Colony Class 23669 power generator from Kuat Freight Port.
In 4 ABY, concurrent to the Battle of Endor, the Alliance occupied the shipyards. In an attempt to prevent either the Alliance or the Empire from taking over, Kuat of Kuat attempted to blow the yards up, although he was only partially successful, the full explosion being halted by Boba Fett. The Empire soon regained control of the yards and the planet, and Bevel Lemelisk came thither to join the design team working on the Eclipse. A large Imperial fleet was soon garrisoned at the planet.
Very soon after, Tyber Zann attacked the shipyards in order to steal the unfinished Eclipse and gained information about Imperial vaults from its computers. During this time, a rebel attack force led by General Han Solo invaded the sector chasing the retreating fleets from Endor. Zann was successful in taking the Eclipse, forcing out the Rebels, and decimating the imperial fleet, but decided that the Eclipse would be too big of a target and left with the vault's contents.
In 7 ABY, it was the site of a three-way battle between Warlord Zsinj, loyal Imperial forces, and the New Republic. At this time, Kuat's planetary defense forces were considered roughly equal to those of Coruscant. Kuat was at the time Imperial; Zsinj's forces hijacked the Razor's Kiss from the shipyards, but General Han Solo's fleet prevented Zsinj from taking it out of the system.

In 8 ABY, Kuat was taken from the Empire by the New Republic: Bevel Lemelisk fled to join Durga, while many senior KDY engineers fled to the Deep Core. Kuat's powerful shipbuilding capabilities served the new galactic government well. Many of the first units designed under the New Class program were built at Kuat.
In 19 ABY, Viqi Shesh was elected Senator of Kuat. She was added to the New Republic Advisory Council in 25 ABY, but eventually betrayed the New Republic to the Yuuzhan Vong.
During the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion, Kuat would host numerous meetings of the Defense Force High Command, as well as continue to supply warships to the New Republic Navy. Following the loss of Fondor, additional warships were dispatched to the planet to safeguard it and its extensive shipyards.
After the Fall of Coruscant, Senator Pwoe, who declared himself Chief of State with the death of Borsk Fey'lya, began moving the command structure of the Defense Force to Kuat, but he was expelled from the planet when the Senate dismissed Pwoe.
Kuat itself would eventually be conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the Galaxy, but the Kuati returned to the planet after the Liberation of Coruscant. During the Second Corellian Insurrection, a space station orbiting Kuat, Toryaz Station, served as a negotiation place between Prime Minister Aidal Saxan of Corellia and Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon.

Verin knew he needed help. He thought about contacting mira. Mira was a master who use to visit dantooine a lot. He hadn't seen her in a while.
concentrating, he tried to find her. He was in luck. She was on coruscant. "Not to far." verin mumbled to himself. Still, the effort would exost him. regardless, he decided to send the message.

Then, verin realized he had never answered Ja'an's questions.
"There wasn't one, until a about an hour ago. Things are going to be dangerous on dantooine, so we decided to move the students here. Now, could you hang on a second, i need to concentrate."
Mira.. verins message was unclear. Come... Kuat... need... help... fast... sith... younglings... then the message faded completely.

Mira, only just haveing found out about the declaration of war hours earlier was sitting in her hotel room, head in hands. Tradigdy was the only outcome she could see in the days to come and in her heart a dark suspsion was growning.
It hadn't taken much to get access to the security footage from with in the bar, no one had had time to cover it up yet and she doubted that Grandmaster Lumous himself had thought to do so yet. Yes, for the first time in a long time Mira felt dispair as she contemplated the fate of the jedi order.
A sudden feeling of connection shook her from her dark contemplation, someone was trying to contact her. Knowing the danger of it Mira opened her mind to the contact, trying to take hold of the weak whisper.

Ja'en had already walked further into the academy, looking around, when Verin had finished speaking. He could see potential all around, and to his mind, this could be a place for him to make some progress, both physically and mentally.
He immediately started to look for something to do to help out with the set up efforts....
(((I'll be back in about an hour or so...)))

the amount of concentration it had taken forced verin into unconciousness. Just before he lost all thought, he felt a pressence.
O o C - go ahead now sagetim.

sasuke_must_die the amount of concentration it had taken forced verin into unconciousness. Just before he lost all thought, he felt a pressence. O o C - go ahead now sagetim. ((we'll continue in this thread then if you don't mind. and note: the dream realm is a fancy name for verin's sleeping mind.)) In the Dream Realm....Whatever dream Verin may have been about to have gets interrupted. A dark figure cloaked in a haze of shadows appears, and the landscape changes into that of the jedi council chamber on dantooine. The Dark Figure speaks up, in a voice that echoes with many others, " It's been a while young one..."

At first, verin was confused. He had been dreaming about being back at the academy before the war. Then he smiled when he heard the voice.
"Grim. It's been a little while. I should have figured you'd pop up sooner or later." Then Verin got serious. He looked around the familiar council room, then said, "So, what do you want to talk about? I doubt this is a social call."

The Dark Figure chuckled, " Actually...I just wanted to tell you that I'm dead now. I won't be able to keep that promise of helping you to infiltrate the sith academy on korriban. And as always, I refuse to give away tactical information on anyone. I can tell you this however...Stay true to your jedi path. Follow it and don't allow the opinions of your superiors throw you off the path. The Jedi way is your path. It may not allow love...but sometimes, it justifies itself. You have three questions that you may ask me before I depart."

"Okay." Verin thought hard before he chose his first question. "Why are you coming to me if you are dead?" Verin was pretty sure Grim would have someone more important then him to talk to.

Verin smiled. Well, at least i know it's him. Only Grim could be that blunt. And that... well... eccentric. "Okay. Here's my second question." Verin had been wondering about this for a while. "Is Mri'elen okay." He hoped that Grim understood he ment phylisophically, not physically.

"I'm on my way" Mira had no idea if Verin would hear her but she sent the comforting thought all the same. Belting on her light sabers she paused only long enough to don her robe and a cloth half mask. The Sith she had encountered the day before had given her the idea and such facial coverings were not an uncommon sight on a world where countless cultures mingling.
Combined with the hood of her robe it obscured almost her entire face without hampering her ability to speak. She did not want her face known as that of a Jedi. It would hinder her ability to investigate effectively.

The Dark Figure sighed, " She's dead too now. you have a final question remaining, use it wisely."
((he meant Mri'elen xp ))
