While repairing trash compactor faults in the Kuat Drive Yards research part of the shipyards, the astromech droid R4-P17 was crushed and left for scrap. Anakin Skywalker later discovered the droid while visiting the shipyards to inspect the Jedi customizations made to the Delta-7 interceptor design. He rebuilt her with a R2-series dome. During the Clone Wars, the Gyndine shipyards had strategic value for the Galactic Republic.
The shipyards were destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong fleet in the Battle of Gyndine. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, the yards were rebuilt, and in 40 ABY were assaulted by a Confederation task force.
