Cathar was the homeworld of Scape Loewig, a Force-sensitive child whose name was included in aurebesh in a memory crystal recovered by Jedi Chief Librarian Jocasta Nu following the destruction of the Jedi Order[1] in 19 BBY.[2] Shortly after joining the Galactic Empire's 204th Imperial Fighter Wing from the Imperial Academy, the TIE pilot Yrica Quell participated in a patrol on the outskirts of Cathar with her new squadron.[3] Around 5 ABY,[4] she was reminded of the patrol while flying through a debris field in the Cerberon system.[3] Cathar shared its name with the Cathar species, which included Dhina, who served as an Ensign and comscan officer aboard the New Republic refitted Star Destroyer Deliverance[5] in 5 ABY.[6]

In Shadow Fall, the Dark Secrets of Alphabet Squadron Revealed on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that Shadow Fall takes place approximately half a year after the Battle of Endor, while Before the Awakening states that Kes Dameron and Shara Bey moved to Yavin 4 around six months after the Battle of Endor. Given that Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates their move to 5 ABY, the events of Shadow Fall must also take place around that time.
- ↑ Victory's Price
- ↑ Victory's Price begins eleven months after the Battle of Endor, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 4 ABY. The Battle of Jakku, which Galactic Atlas places in 5 ABY, appears late in the novel. Additionally, Before the Awakening states that Kes Dameron and Shara Bey moved to Yavin 4 around six months after the Battle of Endor, and Galactic Atlas dates their move to 5 ABY. Victory's Price is therefore set in 5 ABY.
