Forum:SH:The Old Republic: Dates

Here we go again. The time has come when we require a timeline update and probably a fancy dating template. This discussion is meant to establish the events of Update 5.10 Jedi Under Siege (Invasion of Ossus) and 6.0 Onslaught (Third Galactic War) into the Galactic calendar.


 * Let's start with the already established dating of the base game: 3643 BBY (Template:TOR dates) ending in 3641 BBY.
 * Following that we have this screenshot establishing the expansion 2.0 in 3640 BBY and 4.0  prologue at 3637 BBY (47 months real time/4 years after 1.0's ending).
 * KOTFE prologue to the Chapter I takes 5 years (that's carbon freezing for you) so we're now at 3632 BBY.
 * Companion conversations at the end of 5.0 state that the carbon freezing events happened 6 years before making the KOTFE and KOTET storylines about a year long: heading into 3631 BBY.
 * In the new expansion 6.0, at the end of the story, Kira Carsen states that KOTET's end happened a year before (the finishing Battle of Zakuul) which means we're now at 3630 BBY, give or take. Given this, we can claim that the events of the Third Galactic War start at 3630 BBY.

Well this is my reasoning. Let me know what your input is. Winterz (talk) 16:15, October 29, 2019 (UTC)
