kuat

Kuat is a term that can refer to several different things in language and popular culture. It may denote a word in Malay and Indonesian, or a planet and shipyard site in the Star Wars fictional universe.

In Indonesian and Malay, kuat means strong or powerful. It is used as an adjective and appears in common expressions and place names in those languages.

In Star Wars, Kuat is a Core Worlds planet that serves as the site of Kuat Drive Yards (KDY), a prominent starship manufacturer. KDY is depicted as one of the galaxy’s leading shipyards, historically responsible for constructing capital ships and other vessels for major factions, including the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire. The planet and its yards are described as heavily industrialized with extensive orbital facilities and security.

The term’s meaning thus depends on context: it can be a language word, a fictional world, or a reference within Star Wars lore.
