Fondor Shipyards / Legends The Fondor Shipyards , also known as the Starshipyards of Fondor , were huge starship construction facilities orbiting the planet Fondor , in the Fondor system . Numerous capital ships and freighters were in construction here almost all the time . Presumably because of the shipyard ' s strategic importance , the shipyards were also guarded by a complement of Imperial Storm commando s as well as several Imperial escort carriers . Layout . The shipyards had a varying layout . There were various space stations and construction devices in the area . In addition , for the more secretive projects at the shipyards , a giant shield was enveloped requiring at least 18 shield stations to maintain , and the destruction or otherwise disabling of one would result in the shield collapsing . History . Pre – Clone Wars . The Jedi mission to Fondor during the Separatist Crisis foiled a scheme by Groodo the Hutt to destroy the Fondor Shipyards using a counterfeit " Sun Runner " transport . Before the drifting derelict could collide with the shipyards , an 18 - year - old Anakin Skywalker was able to destroy it through a combination of planting a proton grenade to the vessel ' s hypermatter reactor and demolishing its sensor - guided missile silo with the concussion - missile launcher of a borrowed CloakShape fighter — the shock waves of these explosions , however , forced Skywalker to crash - land on the Fondor jungle - moon of Nallastia . Galactic Civil War . The shipyards were seized by the Galactic Empire shortly after the Battle of Yavin , and used to finalize the construction of Darth Vader ' s Super Star Destroyer , and the lead ship of the " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought line , the " Executor " . The executives were outraged over the Emperor ' s orders , but nonetheless complied , hoping it would allow them to steal lucrative project grants from their rival , Kuat Drive Yards , in the future . However , to their anger , Kuat Drive Yards ended up gaining all rights to any future models of Super Star Destroyers . Despite this setback , the Empire somehow allowed Fondor to develop an " Executor " - class Star Dreadnought variant possessing cloaking capabilities . The Rebel Alliance , learning of this development , made an attack against the orbital shipyards in year 3 ABY , which resulted in the destruction of the vessel before it was ever completed , or deployed . In actuality , the Empire , under the Emperor ' s orders , deliberately leaked the intel of the ship ' s construction to the Rebel Alliance to grant them a victory as to ensure that they grow overconfident enough to be drawn into a trap . The shipyards were raided by the Rebels twelve times prior to the Battle of Endor . After the Battle of Endor , the shipyards were renamed the Fondor Independent Shipyards and were used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic . A brief supply problem was solved after Han Solo escorted the two Venerated Ones to their home planet of Vandelhelm . Yuuzhan Vong war . Fondor was the location of a crucial battle against the Yuuzhan Vong . Having been deceived by the Vong , the New Republic was caught fatally off guard by the attack at Fondor . Many Republic vessels were lost , most vaporized by an overly hasty firing of Centerpoint Station . Orbital Shipyard 1321 , one of the orbiting shipyards , was rammed by several Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers during the battle , and destroyed . Although the shipyards were largely in ruins , they continued to operate throughout the war . General Garm Bel Iblis later took up station at Fondor after the Battle of Coruscant . Second Galactic Civil War . As of 40 ABY , Fondor had allied with , and was producing ships for , the Confederation , and was soon targeted by Joint Chief of State Jacen Solo . However , the attempt to take the planet , including the yards and other assets , intact , failed , causing Solo to order the bombing of Oridin , a major Fondorian city , with the result being a split in the GA , but a more unified Fondor . During the battle , one of the docks repelled a GA boarding party . Others sustained heavy fire from Imperial and Galactic Alliance ships . It was revealed that the Fondorians had hidden large numbers of ships in the docks by making it appear that the ships were under construction .
