Template:TOR dates

This template is a compilation of the various evidence that has been gathered about the dates for Star Wars: The Old Republic. This should be used for dating the various TOR articles, but use a c. for 3,642 BBY and dates that haven't been confirmed, like other classes.

This forum post from Star Wars: The Old Republic lead writer, Daniel Erickson, indicates that the game takes place about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. According to The Essential Atlas, the Treaty is signed in 3,653 BBY, placing the Jedi Knight storyline between 3,643 BBY and 3,641 BBY. The Prologue of the Jedi Knight class storyline is directly followed by Act I, and an indeterminate amount of time passes between Acts I and II. Both storylines take place over the course of several months each, and the date of Act I is confirmed in the The Lost Suns comic series. Master Ngani Zho's comments place Star Wars: The Old Republic 8: The Lost Suns, Part 2 ten years after the Treaty of Coruscant, in the year 3,643 BBY. In the same issue, SIS Director Marcus Trant confirms that the events of the comic&mdash;and the subsequent Mission to the Vesla system&mdash;occurs a week after the Hero of Tython's mission to Nar Shaddaa and around the same time of the SpecForce Incident, the main events of Act I for the Trooper class. As the Trooper starts at the same time as the Smuggler class as indicated by the presence of the smuggler's ship in a custcene, we can conclude that Act I of the Jedi Knight, Smuggler, and Trooper classes occurs in 3,643 BBY. Comments made in the intermission between Acts II and III confirm that the Knight is under the Emperor's control for a significant period of time, and the short story The Last Battle of Colonel Jace Malcom places the Battle of Corellia and its concurrent conflicts (including the Mission to the Dark Temple and the various classes' events) in 3,641 BBY. As there are significant gaps between the three Acts and the game occurs between 3,643 and 3,641 BBY, this article assumes that the events of the Prologue and Act III occur in 3,643 BBY, the events of Act II in 3,642 BBY, and the events of Act III in 3,641 BBY, if the exact date has not already been confirmed by the above evidence.
