19 BBY/Legends

"In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire for a safe and secure society."

- Emperor Palpatine during the Declaration of a New Order

The following events took place in 19 BBY.

This year was known as Year 981 after the Ruusan Reformation and Year 3,634 after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. The Clone Wars came to an end, the Great Jedi Purge began, and the Galactic Republic was transformed into the Galactic Empire.
