392 BBY, or 392[1] Before the Battle of Yavin, was a year in the 'ABY-BBY' dating system[7] that was a part of the High Republic Era. That year, the Galactic Republic began sponsoring missions by Pathfinder teams made up of Jedi and Republic Pathfinders to chart new safe hyperspace routes[1] in the Outer Rim Territories, helping the Jedi expand their knowledge and spreading the influence of the Republic.[2] Also around that year,[3] the Quarren Republic leader Orlen Mollo negotiated a territory dispute on the planet Mon Cala.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
392 BBY was introduced via indirect mention of an event that had occurred a decade prior to the events of the 2022 novel Convergence, written by Zoraida Córdova as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase II.[8] The year was directly referred to as "392 BBY" in the reference book Star Wars: Timelines,[2] first published during Celebration Europe,[9] which took place April 7 through 10, 2023.[10] Prior to the book's release, the page mentioning 392 BBY was included in a March 8 installment of Star Wars: The High Republic Show.[11]
In the Star Wars Legends continuity, 392 BBY was indirectly referenced in The DarkStryder Campaign,[12] which takes place in 8 ABY[13] and mentions an event that took place four centuries prior.[12]
