Dating System

[Tboy]

Just so you all know, the dating system in Star Wars is BBY and ABY, meaning before and after the battle of Yavin.
I suggest that:
1.This dating system is used, and;
2.That the game starts in 100,000 BBY, as this is when a. Coruscant is completely covered, and b. It is when the Sith begin to develop.

If you want to see the dating and timeline, check this page on Wookieepedia:

the Sith began that early? wow - didn't knew that.

Remember that the Hyper Space Travel or whatever it's called was first being able for people on Human's planet about 23,000 BBA.

At least I think it's aroudn that time KotOR and KotOR2 was happening around 18,400 years after the Hyperdrive got in the hands of humans. and I've honestly not looked much into the dates for the Mandalorian Wars in BBA... but maybe 100k i a BIT too early..?

Not sure... could be like normal civ4, where the first turns are big steps in time, then they slowly get smaller.

 

[Qdin]

heh - and I was pretty close - Kotor happened 3-4 years before 4,000 BBY lol oh, well - 22,000 is around the time we shoudl think about

Or mayber 25000 BBY, as that's when the hyperdive was invented, the Jedi order founded and the Republic created...

100,000 BBY-Coruscant covered; Sith started developing
25,000 BBY-Hyperdrive invented; Galactic Republic & Jedi Order founded
3,959 BBY-Jedi Civil War begins
3,956 BBY-Jedi Civil War ends
1,000 BBY-Ruusan Reformation

"Ruusan Reformation?" What's that?

 

[Kissamies]

At least the Bane's "rule of two" started after the Sith were pretty much annihilated at Ruusan. Perhaps it means that. The Jedi were also very much devastated. I think the Galactic Republic seen in movies started at that point. It's not exactly same as the "Old Republic" seen in TotJ and KotOR. it could mean that too.
