Year
4,965 before the Great ReSynchronization
(4,999
Standard Years before the Battle of Yavin)
______________________________________________________________________________
It is a time of rugged frontiers: pioneers establish
homes on harsh new colony worlds; alien races encounter Humans for the first
time. Small-scale battles are fought and won as the galactic government
continues to unify scattered systems. Convoluted paths through the
incomprehensible wilderness of hyperspace are still being mapped, which make
long-distance travel often treacherous and uncertain.

Chronology, page 2)

01:10, morning (Deep Core, Koros system: in orbit around Koros Major): Searching the abandoned Sith Empire ships in orbit
around Koros Major, Draethos Jedi Knight Odan-Urr retrieves a Sith Holocron.
Contemplating the last words of his master, Ooroo who gave his life during the

giant library of Jedi knowledge and books on Ossus, the quiet world where Ooroo
trained him. (note: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi: The
Sith War # 1 states that this event
occured when the Jedi ‘fought the last of the Dark Lords, when the Jedi and the
Republic drove the Sith to extinction’)

01:23, evening (Loro Babis system: Athiss) Having escaped the fall of the Sith Empire, three Sith
devotees seek refuge on the second world in the Loro Babis system, Athiss. (note: Star Wars:

02:12, morning: Following the fall of the Sith Empire,
the Jedi destroyed as many Sith talismans, temples, and Holocrons as they can
find. They wish to revent knowledge of the Sith ways from falling into the
hands of power-hungry dark siders or uninitiated Force students seeking short
cuts to learning how to control the Force.
Only a few Sith strongholds are allowed to survive.
From these, the Jedi hope to gain insight in the mysteries of Sith powers as
they wish to discover the weaknesses of the dark magicks so that the Sith can
never resurrect their fallen Empire. (note: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi
Companion states that ‘only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive
the purge’)

02:16, morning: Following the fall of the Sith
Empire, the Jedi destroyed as many Sith talismans, temples, and Holocrons as
they can find. They wish to revent knowledge of the Sith ways from falling into
the hands of power-hungry dark siders or uninitiated Force students seeking
short cuts to learning how to control the Force. Of the remnants of the Sith
artifacts, the talismans prove the most difficult to deconstruct. The Jedi
employ many methods, with little success, for it seems that each device
requires a different method to destroy it.
Deconstruction procedures involve everything from the
physical rending of the talisman’s components to the removal of its stored dark
side energy by Jedi Masters of tremendous ability. Some devices can only be
destroyed by battering them with the dark side, which prevents the Jedi from
eradicating them. Many of these talismans are hidden away or cast into stars or
nebulae to keep them from the wrong hands. The Sith devices that remain are
either under the direct guardianship of the Jedi or stored in the ancient dark
side retreats or library-temples that continue to elude the notice of the Jedi.
(note: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Companion states that ‘following the
Fall of the Sith Empire, the Jedi destroyed as many Sith talismans, temples,
and Holocrons as they could find in the aftermath of the war’)

02:19, morning: Following the fall of the Sith
Empire, only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive. From these, the
Jedi hope to gain insight in the mysteries of Sith powers as they wish to
discover the weaknesses of the dark magicks so that the Sith can never
resurrect their fallen Empire.
One of the first dark side devices discovered and
catalogued by the Jedi is the Sith shield talisman. (note: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi
Companion states that ‘only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive
the purge’ and that ‘the Sith shield talisman was one of the first dark side
devices discovered and catalogued by the Jedi’)

02:23, morning (Colonies, Perave system: Arkania) After the fall of the Sith Empire, hundreds of Jedi Masters
descend upon Veeshas Tuwan, the Sith hall-and-library complex on Arkania, and
destroy the entire structure. Not a single resource is saved, for the Jedi fear
any remaining dark-side knowledge might allow the Sith to return to power at
some point in the future. (note: Tales of the Jedi Companion states that this happened ‘after the Fall’ of the Sith
Empire)

02:26, morning: Following the fall of the Sith
Empire, only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive. From these, the
Jedi hope to gain insight in the mysteries of Sith powers as they wish to
discover the weaknesses of the dark magicks so that the Sith can never
resurrect their fallen Empire.
One of the first dark side devices discovered and
catalogued by the Jedi was the Sith shield talisman. The talisman protects its
wearer from energy- and Force-attacks. Research suggests that the device works
by absorbing the energy directed at it and storing it for use as its own source
of fuel. To retain its ability to function, however, the talisman requires an
infusion of energy at least once per standard week. (note: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi
Companion states that ‘only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive
the purge’ and that ‘the Sith shield talisman was one of the first dark side
devices discovered and catalogued by the Jedi’)

03:27, morning: Following the fall of the Sith
Empire, only a few Sith strongholds were allowed to survive. From these, the
Jedi hope to gain insight in the mysteries of Sith powers as they wish to discover
the weaknesses of the dark magicks so that the Sith can never resurrect their
fallen Empire.
One artifact recovered from a remaining Sith library
is the Holocron created by Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow himself. It details
the nature of the Sith people, of their philosophies and teaching methods, and
of their belief in the power of the dark side. From the Holocron recordings,
the Jedi learn that at first the word Sith designated a species of
sentients. Only later, as these people spread across the galaxy, did the term Sith
become associated more with their teachings and philosophies than with the
species itself. Though the Sith held great power, they were not united,
preferring to remain in tribal ‘circles,’ bands of Sith led by one or more
sorcerers who were responsible for the safety and protection of their charges.
The Sith retained such a societal structure until the arrival of a fallen Jedi
who took particular interest in their techniques for drawing power from the
dark side. This dark Jedi dominated the Sith people, though his methods of
doing so are not recorded in Sadow’s Holocron. He turned them into unwilling
thralls, stealing their knowledge of sorcery and using it against them. This
Jedi proclaimed himself the Dark Lord of the Sith, making him the first in the
lineage. (note: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Companion states that ‘only a few Sith
strongholds were allowed to survive the purge’)

04:12 The Brotherhood of Navigators certifies a new trade route
into the Outer Rim Territories from out of the Koros system, blazed by the
brother and sister hyperspace explorer team Gav and Jori Daragon. This new
route, which extends to beyond the Perlemian Trade Route, is designated the
Daragon Trail.

07:05, morning (Colonies, Stenness system: Ambria) Having escaped the fall of the Sith
Empire, several Sith Lords and Sith devotees arrive on the world of Ambria. (note: Star Wars:
Tales of the Jedi Companion states that this occured after surviving ‘the
fall of the Sith Empire a millennia ago’)
