The Lothal Calendar was a calendar used on the planet of Lothal, in the Outer Rim Territories. It used the LY ("Lothal Year") notation.[1] Although the exact origins of that calendar had been forgotten by the time of the Galactic Empire, its starting point was dated to 3245 years before Sheev Palpatine's rise to Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.[2]
