The Starship Graveyard represented an area located on the planet Hoth, serving as the final resting place for numerous ships. These vessels were downed in combat during the Battle of Hoth which took place in 3665 BBY. Among the wreckage, two ships stood out: the Vehement Sword, split into two pieces and nicknamed the "Broken Blade" by the White Maw pirates, and the Star of Coruscant, a colossal Republic dreadnought that survived its crash landing largely undamaged. As the war against Zakuul raged on, the Eternal Empire's [Star Fortress](/article/star_fortress], positioned in orbit around the planet, precipitated further crashes onto the surface. The Eternal Empire took no action to quell the conflicts arising from these shipwrecks.
