Kuat Systems Engineering
KSE was a short-lived subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards created in the waning days of the Old Republic. It produced a few well-designed but poorly marketed starships, including the CloakShape fighter and the Firespray-class attack ship. The lack of sales eventually led to KSE being re-integrated under the KDY banner as an after-market upgrade kit manufacturer. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, KSE was sold off to a group of Imperial loyalists. It was later revealed that the loyalists were really Vaathkree merchants with strong ties to the New Republic. The Dark Empire Sourcebook says that KSE was the forerunner of KDY was charged with developing new starfighters for the Empire. One of their first starships was the CloakShape Fighter.
