Unreviewed Graveyard Anchorage | Kuat Drive Yards

[Csariden]

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To create a rebel/insurgent starport and shipyard hidden within the destroyed Kuat orbital ring, serving as a forward operating base for the Chiss Revengeancy (not an actual faction, just Csariden ) to launch deep strikes into the Galactic Empire’s heartland.

SETTING INFORMATION

• Shipyards Name: Graveyard Anchorage (colloquial: “The Ring of Vengeance”)
• Classification: Orbital Ring Shipyard (ruin-rebuilt)
• Location: In geostationary orbit above Kuat Prime, hidden within the remains of the destroyed Kuat Drive Yards
• Affiliation: Chiss Revengeancy (and any anti-imperial insurgent of any affiliation.)
• Population: Moderately Staffed — skeleton crew of trained engineers, mechanics, gunners, and pilots
• Accessibility: Extremely difficult to locate without exact coordinates and encrypted transponder ping. Surrounded by debris fields, false sensor echoes, and cloaked approach lanes. No civilian traffic permitted.
• Description: A jagged ring of shattered durasteel and blackened hull plating, the wreckage hums with hidden activity. Flickering lights and venting coolant plumes disguise berths for strike craft, retrofitted fabrication bays, and jury-rigged command decks. To the casual eye, it is just another piece of war wreckage drifting in orbit — but to those who know, it is a fully operational insurgent stronghold.

OPERATIONS INFORMATION

• Production: Capable of repairing and refitting corvettes, frigates, and strike craft; limited capacity for scratch-built small craft.
• Specialty: Rapid turnaround combat refits, stealth system integration, and converting captured Imperial hulls for rebel use.
• Output: Low to moderate — focuses on keeping a small fleet combat-ready rather than mass production.
• Market: Closed — exclusively for Chiss Revengeancy and allied insurgent cells.

POINTS OF INTEREST

• The Broken Spire — Former KDY control tower, rebuilt as the command hub and encrypted comms relay for Csariden’s operations.
• Graveyard Docks — Berths disguised under layers of scrap, capable of servicing multiple corvettes and fighter wings.
• Shadow Foundry — Workshop for integrating scavenged Imperial tech into insurgent craft.
• Silent Net Array — Cloaked sensor dishes monitoring Imperial shipping lanes and military traffic.
• Ring Mines — Mines seeded through debris fields to deter intrusion, each masked by drifting hull plating.

SECURITY
High

• Automated turbolaser emplacements camouflaged as wreckage
• Minefields covering predictable approach vectors
• Cloaked sensor arrays for early warning
• Patrols of modified security droids
• Rebel strike craft on rotating combat air patrols

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Once the crown jewel of Imperial warship production, the Kuat Drive Yards fell into ruin after the Terror Attack on Kuat. In the chaos following the destruction, Csariden and the Chiss Revengeancy moved swiftly, claiming a section of the wreckage before the Empire could re-secure it.

Using salvaged reactors, jury-rigged life support, and hidden approach corridors, they transformed the ruin into a covert starport and military base. From here, they plan to launch precision strikes into the very heart of the Galactic Empire, disrupting supply lines and bleeding the enemy’s resources — a constant reminder that even the Core is not safe from retribution.
