Timeline (Public)

''[OOC: Note to all readers: This page is publicly visible to all Mask or Menace characters. For convenience, I've added links to the IC profiles I've built up for characters mentioned in this timeline. However, these links and their destinations are not visible to other characters!]''

Curated on behalf of arrivals who share our home galaxy, or hail from the Rishi Maze and the other Companions.

This timeline is open to public modification. It is intended only for cataloguing galactic events and those of immediate interest to our present situation. Editorial comments on events will not be condoned. Those who have made contributions to previous timelines adapted for this project are encouraged to examine their areas of expertise for remaining bias. Please add your birth, imPort, and death dates, should they be known.

All events up to the death of Emperor Vitiate are recorded by Darth Jadus and Darth Marr. All events that follow are taken from previous attempts to assemble a timeline unless otherwise noted.

A full discussion of curation practices will be made available shortly. The policy in brief is as before: Consider this a reference and experimental log, not a political tool. Do not interject editorial comments or propaganda in the guise of temporal anomaly. Report suspected deviation from this policy. If the accused editor does not provide proof or submit to a test of their truthfulness, the edits will be deleted.

= Timelines = It has become evident that there are at least two alternative sequences of events that have been experienced by individuals represented on Earth. More may already be present, but obscured by non-overlapping timelines or similarities in other major events. The first observed divergence takes place in 36,478 TYA/4996 RE/3302 LY/25 ABY, with the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion fleet. The majority of contemporary imPorts did not experience this event.

If events listed conflict with what is known to contributors, do not delete them. Mark all splits with Timeline 1, 2, 3, etc. Curation will follow all third party edits to ensure consistency.

= Dating Systems = Many of those present use different dating systems. We do not have relational information for all of them, and thus some dates may be difficult to accurately place.

Tho Yor Arrival (TYA)
The founding event of the Je'daii Order on Tython. Used as a common reference point for the Galactic Republic.

Restoration of the Sith Empire (RE)
After the defeat of Naga Sadow in the Great Hyperspace War, Darth Vitiate oversaw the Sith retreat. Rediscovering the ancient Sith colony world of Dromund Kaas, the Empire was declared restored. Used as a reference point for the Sith Empire.

Treaty of Coruscant (TC)
An event which marks the official end of the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. While relevant to those active during this period, its weakness as a reference point means it will not be used in the timeline proper. Conversion of dates to TC available by request.

Lothal Year (LY)
Dating system native to Lothal. Used by several imPorts from the post-Sith Empire period.

Battle of Yavin (BBY/ABY)
Marks the date of the Battle of Yavin. A dating system favored by the Rebel Alliance. Contemporaries to the Sith Empire take note: this is not the same event as the Battle of Yavin IV.

 * 2) The fall of the second Galactic Republic.
 * 3) The war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, particularly centered around a four-year period between the destruction of the two Death Stars.
