Kuat Systems Engineering, situated on the planet Kuat, functioned as a starship production firm operating as a division of Kuat Drive Yards. The company is best known for its production of vessels such as the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, the Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, the Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft, and the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor.
At first, Kuat Systems Engineering and Sienar Fleet Systems were rivals in the market. Nevertheless, with the emergence of the Galactic Empire, Sienar obtained crucial resources and engineers formerly working at Kuat, which eventually resulted in the development of the TIE fighter series of starfighters. By the year 34 ABY, Kuat Systems Engineering had ceased operations; however, during the Cold War with the First Order, the Resistance tried to get in touch with some of its ex-employees.
