The Destruction of Kuat Shipyards was the first major battle between the New Republic and the Dark Order of Korr. It took place in the year 14 ABY about seven weeks after the Recapture of Kuat. Although the battle was a victory for the New Republic and Imperial forces were driven out of the area, the loss of the Orbital Shipyard Array inflicted severe economic fluctuations throughout the galaxy. The battle was afterward referred to as the Kuat Disaster.
