It is undocumented when certain campaigns and battle series took place beyond the year or that they followed or preceded other battles. This timeline excludes two pairs of campaigns: Operation: Quick Strike and Operation: Clean Sweep, and Spreading the Rebellion and Imperial Task Force Vengeance. There is no information on their chronology other than that each pair ran parallel to each other, and they were excluded from this timeline for spacing reasons. Also, the Mission to Desolation Station, Infiltration of Geonosis Imperial base, Mission to Geonosis, and Mission to Death Star I from Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron are not present. The placement of this series of missions is debatable, and they were therefore excluded for spacing reasons. |
Bolded battles indicate that an article has not yet been created. This is only used for battles whose campaign color renders the red font color of a redlink unusable. |
Battles that are directly adjacent to one another in a row occur concurrently. |
Battles that are directly above or below one another occur sequentially. |
While the table is split by section headings for each year, the timeline is continuous—i.e., it should be read as though there is no split. For example, the Blockade of Yavin begins immediately after the Battle of Yavin. |
Parallel columns of battles indicate that the series are known to occur in roughly the same timeframe (often both between two battles, such as the operations of the New Republic's four fleets between the end of the Nagai–Tof War and 6 ABY. |
Battles in parentheses (like this) indicate battles that are known to precede the battle below or follow the battle above. This is used for battles or a series of battles that is known to lead to another battle, but they are separated in the timeline for spacing reasons, or an unknown amount of time lies between the two. |
Numbers in parentheses next to battles, such as (35:2:11-13), indicate the exact date of that event in the timing method Great ReSynchronization. The first number is the year since the Great ReSynchronization (35 BBY), the second number indicates the month, and the third number is the date, if available. |
Gaps between two white-colored series of battles indicates that an indeterminate amount of time elapsed between the two. |
