Timeline of the Great Galactic War

• Ancient History: The Pre-Republic and perhaps even Sith era is shrouded in mystery though what is known is that a species known as the Rakata a force sensitive race dominated the Galaxy before they declined into nothing. They left many relics including the Star Forge, a powerful Force-Technological device that aided Revan in his war.
• Great Hyperspace War: A major conflict that embroiled the galaxy in a war between the nascent Republic and the Sith Empire. It was the first real threat by the Sith in galactic Space and although it ended with their defeat it left deep scars across the galaxy and established many of the traditions of the Sith, which they adhere to, to this day. This takes place approximately 5000 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin).
• The Rise and Fall of Revan: Approximately three hundred years prior to the Great Galactic War a Jedi rose to prominence and then fell to become the a Sith Lord, Darth Revan. Forged in battle his armies nearly conquered the Republic before he was defeated and then redeemed. He broke the Sith armies and destroyed the Star Forge that fueled his war machine before disappearing into Dark Space. There are many that still see Revan as a hero on both sides of the conflict, though with time his legend has faded.
• Rise of the Sith Empire: Having been exiled to the far reaches of the Galaxy the Sith that would become the Sith Emperor settled his people on Dromund Kaas, it would eventually become the capital of the Empire. From here the Sith Empire began plotting a revenge for their exile that would take centuries to see to fruition. In this time the Republic had forgotten about the Sith, though the Jedi still remembered. This was a time of relative peace for both major factions.
• Battle of Korriban: In the year 3681 BBY the Sith Empire roused their warmachine and invaded Republic space, specifically the Tingel Arm region. The surprise strike decimated the Republic forces who were will-prepared for the strike but it was all a feint to draw Republic forces from the true objective, Korriban. Darth Marr took command of the fleets that invaded the Tingel arm to buy time for Imperial forces to seize Korriban led by Darth Malgus and his master, who did not survive the conflict. This victory was so decisive that the Republic was unaware of the loss for several weeks. If not for Master Satele Shan, the Jedi may not have known at all that Korriban was lost, one of the few survivors of the conflict. War had returned to the Galaxy.
• Unstoppable Offensive: Between the years of 3681 BBY and 3677 BBY the Sith proved relentless in their march towards galactic supremacy. The Republic forces were ill-prepared for the brutality and the effectiveness of the Imperial war machine. Coupled with that was decades of seeding governments with spies and traitors within the Republic and many worlds fell without a single shot. The Senate and the Republic was back pedaling and the Jedi seemed indecisive in their actions.
• The Jedi March to War: In the year 3677 BBY the Jedi Council met to discuss the progress of the War and their role in it. Grand Master Thurel Sho advised peace and sought diplomatic action but she was undermined by Master Horus Kun, a famed hero he advocated that the time for peace was over. He declared that he would fight for the Republic and many Jedi followed him. With Jedi forces working alongside the battered Republic forces, the tide started to turn. Culminating in the defeat of Darth Yun, a Dark Council member, at the Battle of Heros Prime.
• Republic Emboldened: The victory at Heros Prime gave the Republic Military and many Republic worlds confidence that the Sith could be stopped. With the Republic war machine fully rolling the Republic Forces were able to turn the blitz into defined battle lines and even hold territory. With more and more Jedi joining the conflict it seemed that things could turn around. By the end of 3676 BBY, there was a tinge of hope.
• The Dread Masters: The Empire had planned for this and were ready to unleash the Dread Masters, a cadre of Sith who specialized in terror. Together they could break whole fleets by inspiring mind shattering terror in their enemies, they deployed to the lines with the fiercest fighting and quickly turned the tide against the Republic. Over the next three years they would prove nearly unstoppable. By 3673 the Outer Rim was in tatters and fully in the control of the Empire. Then a reprieve came, the Dread Masters and their forces did not move coreward.
• The Reprieve: It is uncertain why the Dread Masters did not push their assault coreward, some say they were searching for something, others say the Emperor gave them a specific task and victory in war was only tertiary to their mandate. The Dread Masters did not push their lines and the Republic had a moment to strengthen their crumbling defenses. In other theaters the Empire was advancing but it was much slower without the Dread Masters in the field.
• The Miradian Sacrifice: In 3670 BBY the Republic launched a sneak attack on the world of Miradi, they had intel that the Dread Masters had gathered there. A team of hardened Jedi pierced the inner sanctum and defeated the Dread Masters at great cost, the entire fleet was lost and Jedi Master Horus Kun was lost in the battle. It was a great and terrible day for the Republic, a turning point in the conflict.
• The Hutts Abstain: In the days following the loss of the Dread Masters the Hutt cartels took stock of the situation in the galaxy ad although not a major player like the Empire or Republic they controlled considerable resources and wealth. The Hutts decided after much internal conflict that neutrality was the best path forward, as there was too much uncertainty in aligning with either side. The Republic was seen as the weaker party but still a worthy ally and the Sith were seen as dangerous and possibly bad for business. By the end of 3669 BBY, the Republic and Empire established embassies on Nar Shaddaa to maintain good relations with the Hutt cartels, the move had worked to enrich their profits.
• Rise of King Horus Kun: In 3664 BBY the galaxy was awash with blood when a new new force entered the picture. Jedi, or at least they seemed like Jedi launched a surprise attack on Imperial forces in the Taris system. This surprise assault was devastating and much of the fleet was lost. On Coruscant envoys from the House of Horus Kun arrived offering an alliance. Jedi Master Horus Kun had survived ad established a new government and order of Jedi with himself as the leader. In a time of desperation the Senate was open to working with this new government but the Jedi were suspicious at the turn of events.
• Sith Response: The Dark Council called out for blood, well Darth Thanaton and his supporter did, Darth Arya agreed though not as vociferously. Darth Marr was quiet on the matter and also occupied with dominating the war. Darth Vengean at the urging of Lord Baras offered patience. It was a strange stance that did not receive much traction until Lord Baras was allowed to take the floor and explain that the Jedi would turn against this new ally. There were doubts but when Darth Marr agreed the rest of the council eventually fell into line. Lord Baras then set his agents to work.
• The Jedi Act: In early 3663 BBY the Jedi Council came to a decision on the matter of Horus Kun, it was a decision that would cause Grand Master Thurel Sho to step down and go into exile of her own accord. A strike team was formed after evidence was brought to the Jedi Council that Horus Kun had fallen and was trying to supplant the Jedi order. It was an assassination, or at least it should have been but King Horus Kun was prepared for the surprise attack. He immediately broke ties with the Republic and attacked, he was eventually defeated but the protracted conflict drained considerable resources from the Republic and soured the reputation of the Jedi.
• Behind the Scenes: The conflict between the Republic and the traitor forces was exacerbated by agents working for Lord Baras, what should have been a short conflict became a long drawn out siege that costed millions of lives and a great deal of resources. A great success for Lord Baras and his master Darth Vengean.
• Republic in Decline: Years of war passed as the lines shifted and world changed hands many by blood and battle others by diplomacy or fear. The Jedi were split on the war, some still sought peace while others chose to act. Many in the Republic military are reluctant to engage Jedi forces as they feel the Jedi Code restricts what actions they could commit in the field. Meanwhile the Sith continued their march of victory, relying on overwhelming force to secure victory. Yet such a momentum is not sustainable and cracks are showing in stratagem. By 3658 BBY things were bleak for the Republic.
• Offense is the best Defense: A new commander of the allied Republic Forces took control, General Tiyana Vill. She was a squadron leader during the defeat at the Battle of Korriban, she had seen first hand what the Sith were capable of and had seen weaknesses in their strategy. Weaknesses she started to capitalize on by utilizing clandestine strikes behind enemy lines, diverting funds to indigenous resistance forces, and putting the Sith on the defensive. It was a hard sell but the early results have been promising. By 3656 BBY the Republic was gaining momentum with a newly emboldened Jedi order supporting the Republic military.
• 3656 BBY: Events of Korriban Academy begin here.
• Imperial Defeat: General Tiyana Vill continues to route Imperial forces in the Outer Rim with her favored hit and run tactics. A charismatic leader she is able to rally dissidents in Imperial controlled space to aid Republic forces and start carving away at the borders of the Empire. The Imperial response is swift but they are still on their heels.
  
• Outer Rim Massacre: Imperial forces decide to cut support for the Republic by enacting a vicious campaign of terror on dissidents and suspected terrorist in their Outer Rim territories. A decisive blow is delivered on Tatooine by forces serving Darth Mar crippling Republic operations in the system. At the same time Lord Hoshi arrives in the Outer Rim with her ragtag force of pirates and free slaves and begins to harass engage Republic forces bringing much needed reinforcements to the Imperial lines.
  
• Coruscant Nights: The Jedi Council continues to lead as best they can without a Grand Master and with no consensus among the members it may be some time before one is found. The Imperial Chancellor pushes for more support and finances to fund the war effort, the destruction in the Outer Rim territories is taking a toll on the armies of the Republic.
  
• Hutts on the March: The destruction in the Outer Rim moves the Hutts to solidify and fortify their holdings. After a particularly devastating Republic attack on Malthas, a minor Hutt pleasure world suspected of holding Imperial resources, several high ranking Imperial and Republic officers are exposed as having less than savory ties to criminal organizations or are simply assassinated. The Hutts are quiet on the matter but both sides err to avoid territories the Hutts value.
  
• Magpie Magpie: The Jedi, specifically those that live in the shadows, are contacted by an individual or organization that calls itself Magpie. This Magpie has a great deal of knowledge and inside information on Imperial forces and more importantly spies within the Republic. There is much distrust but the Jedi begin to utilize this information to dismantle several spy rings within the Republic.
  
• The Uraka Incident: An independent system with an autocratic society is completely wiped out nearly overnight. A temperate garden world, Uraka, is turned into a blasted wasteland after the usage of some super weapon. Early reports claim it is an Imperial weapon, but then there are claims it was a Republic project gone rogue. In the end the mystery is never solved but out there somewhere is a super weapon capable of turning worlds into radioactive wastelands. The Uraka civilization is lost with no evidence of why.
  
• Hoshi’s Hammer: Lord Hoshi and her fleet begin a campaign of conquest, focusing on worlds with large slave populations though avoiding Hutt worlds, to avoid any further retaliation. The fleet proves quite devastating versus the Republic with their unorthodox tactics and loyalty they bring to their Sith liberator. Her victories cause a great deal of friction back home and if not for some interference run by Darth Baras, she would have been labeled a traitor and villain of the Empire. Instead she is painted as a savior especially after her forces save Darth Vengean’s beleaguered forces.
  
• Burn the Witch: An attempt on the life of Darth Arya, which fails, and several prominent Sith and Imperial leaders causes a great deal of confusion and infighting as Imperial forces turn on each other and the Dark Council wars with itself. Darth Arya sees clearly that the threat is external from an agent called Magpie and allies with Darth Baras to eradicate this threat.
  
• The Satele Gambit: Balmorra is a state of conflict, with neither side holding ground for long on the beleaguered world, Imperial forces fight to crush rebellion and the Republic works to keep the flame of freedom alive. While on a diplomatic humanitarian mission Jedi Knight Satele Shan and her apprentice lead a ragtag rebellion to liberate a powerful industrial city on the planet’s surface and create a stronghold for Republic influence in the sector. Her actions are not without cost but her bravery and wisdom get her appointed as a Master in the order after the month’s long campaign and bring hope back to Balmorra.
  
• The Ascension: With Imperial dominance assured in the Outer Rim for the moment Lord Hoshi is elevated to the rank of Darth and through political machinations is put onto the Dark Council. The new appointment brings a new age of instability to the Empire as many traditionalists and moderates find her appointment an affront of the Sith traditions, in the shadows Darth Baras is pleased as he uses the chaos to remove threats to his plans. It is costly to the Empire but fortuitous for the ambitious Sith.
  
• 12th Month of 3656 BBY, the 17th day: Events of Nar Shaddaa begin.

[Dapper Dog]

Timeline of 3655 BBY

Months 1 through 3

In the days following the signing of the Nar Shaddaa Peace Accord, conflicts throughout the galaxy between the Republic and Empire come to a halt and full cessation of hostilities within three weeks of the pronouncement. There are celebrations in Republic space and vicious politics in the Empire; by the end of the three months of transition and negotiation both sides agree that Corellia will serve as a suitable meeting point between the Empire and Republic. Construction begins in earnest of a Sith Empire Embassy on the surface.

• Many Heads: Baesal Zyn returns to Coruscant and begins her search for the intelligence known as HYDRA. It is a difficult search but she finds clues to a rogue intelligence network on Dantooine. After a harrowing adventure she is able to defeat the rogue intelligence but HYDRA escapes. She does learn that HYDRA is one of many intelligences native to some alien world known as Iokath, there are no known charts that list such a world though.
• Witches in Black: Galen spends time with the Black Witches and although a man he earns their trust and begins a journey of studying the Force and the natural flows of the universe. By the end of his time he is able to reconstruct the Lightsaber he found.
• Best in Class: Aphr completes her training on Korriban, proving herself a worthy pupil and is recruited by Lord Zhorrid as her apprentice. She moves to Drommund Kaas to serve her new Master.
• Birds and the Void: Rumun brokers an alliance between his master Darth Hoshi and the Magpie, bringing together two maniacal Sith into an alliance that is sure to yield explosions, both literal and figurative.
• Gimme a Break: Luth is thoroughly debriefed on Coruscant complete with psych evaluation before she is allowed some time to herself. She tracks down Sylvain and the two travel together. The Jedi keep track of her movements via a network of Jedi Shadows, doubly so when she links up with Sylvain.

Month 4

The Jedi Council meets on Coruscant and summons Master Remsi Thun, reluctantly she agrees to travel to Coruscant. Upon arrival the Council closes the door and debates the current events for nearly two weeks of intense deliberations and reflection as they ponder their role in the changing Galaxy and their lack of direction. By the end of these discussions Grand Master Resmi Thun emerges as the leader of the council along with Master Satele Shan taking her place on the council, an appointment many consider long overdue. For the first time in decades the Jedi Council is whole.

Grand Master Resmi Thun outlines her vision of the Jedi. She does not support open warfare but also believes that all Jedi should prepare themselves for conflict. She promotes intellectual curiosity, diplomacy, and aiding the people of the Republic over warfare and martial pursuits. Despite her focus she also quietly builds up the strength and numbers of the Jedi Shadows and names them the Eyes of the Council creating a network of force sensitive agents throughout the galaxy. The Jedi will not be caught unawares when next the Sith turn their eyes to conquest, Master Nomen Karr leads the Eyes of the Council.

In the Empire there is a great deal of conflict as peace with the Republic means that many Sith factions turn their ambitions to their fellows and infighting begins in the outer regions as old hatreds and feuds take precedence. There are whispers that the Dark Council has grown soft and there are many attempts on the lives of the most powerful Sith.

Meanwhile the Voice of the Emperor embarks on a pilgrimage to the planet of Voss, Jedi agents try to intercede but they are confounded by Voss agents who seem to be aiding the Voice. This encounter only cements the belief among the Jedi that the Voss Mystics are not to be trusted and perhaps even dangerous.

• Promoting Darkness: Shaisha is promoted to the rank of Lord, and dons the name of Lord Tenebrous while on Yavin IV Jo’ren Rath is also promoted to the rank of Lord by Darth Vengean for his loyal service.
• Chief Concerns: Colonel Hala Moraal is appointed as a chief ambassador for the Imperial delegation operating on Corellia, giving the Empire an important and dangerous agent to advocate their issues.
• Red Wedding: After a whirlwind engagement the Houses of Deathwright and Thul are bound when Zeno marries Ziandra Thul. The Sith Lord marries into the Thul house and with the backing of the Empire are able to petition to the houses of Alderaan to reclaim their birthright.

Month 5

A Spice epidemic becomes apparent on the core worlds of the Empire with cheap and powerful narcotics flooding the market. Abuse of legal drugs is on the rise and the Hutt cartels amplify that supply much to their benefit. The Dark Council is slow to respond as they work to bring the infighting to heel. The Emperor has been silent for some time, the Voice has not reached out the Dark Council and the will of the Emperor has been inscrutable. The Wrath is quiet, only leaving his citadel to destroy enemies of the Emperor, or perhaps his own rivals, though none would question the Wrath.

The Hutt Cartels are loathe to take in so many refugees and provide ample transportation for Imperial and Outer Rim refugees to the Republic controlled worlds. This rare display of altruism is profitable as the Hutts charge a hefty sum to smuggle these desperate folks into Republic space. The Galactic Senate publicly decries the Hutts for exploiting these masses but with the Hutts providing security and transportation for these people it frees up the military to better secure the borders.

Mandalorian forces under the leadership of Corso Fett seize Mandalore in a daring assault . The Independent world falls to the Mandalorian warlord and his actions draw many Mandalorians to his cause as they see a chance to reclaim the glory of the past. The Republic take notice strengthen their borders in that region but are still more worried about the Empire than tackling what they consider a minor threat at this time. Imperial support of Corso Fett stays beneath notice, just as planned.

• Knight takes Pawn: Arali is finally promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight, a well received promotion. Meanwhile Cole advances to the rank of Captain as he reaffirms his commitment to the Republic Armed Forces.

Months 6 and 7

With the fighting subsiding the Galactic Senate turns to political matters and tackling rising tensions within the Republic worlds, the fighting had drained the coffers and devastated many core and outer rim worlds. The Supreme Chancellor begins a campaign of rebuilding and public works to promote the economy and recovery. Some senators wish to downsize the military but many more prefer to maintain or even increase the military strength as they see this peace as only a temporary reprieve.

The masses are happy that the war is over but with many soldiers returning, now or in the near future, to civilian life there is a large clamor for jobs and opportunities.

Meanwhile in the Empire, warfare is rampant between the Sith as rivalries take precedence over conflict with the Republic. Darth Thanaton leads an effort to quell the fighting but is met with opposition from the Radical factions of the Sith who see this time of bloodshed and change as one of renewal. The old ways have failed and the Sith Empire must reforge itself through blood and violence. Darth Hoshi has become the primary opposition to Darth Thanaton and their arguments in the Dark Council chambers are intense just short of open violence. Darth Marr does his best to try and keep the military together, but Sith backbiting is rampant and soon even he will have to choose a side. Thankfully his Champion keeps the Outer Rim pacified in his name and has earned herself the nickname of the Steel Valkyrie.

One surprising ally of Darth Marr is Darth Baras who has returned from so-called death to bring order to the Empire. His agents have rooted out the last remnants of the Magpie’s pawns, though the incident on Nar Shaddaa has left his network decimated, weakened, and vulnerable. Although not on the council, Darth Zash, hated enemy of Thanaton, decides to lay low seeing the bloodshed rise, she fades from public sight and enshrines herself in study beyond the borders of the Empire.

• Up the Chain: Vec Gunnar is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant granting him more freedom to serve alongside Lord Tenebrous.
• Growing Up: Craw Toboga reconnects with his past and vows to turn his life around with good living, he even quits drinking. Mostly. His mother opts to stay active instead of retiring and the two even work together to reestablish their family’s honor.
• Squaring Debts: After months of work and sacrifice, Remmington is able to make good on his debt with Dango the Hutt. Even after fixing his debt he works quietly to undermine the Hutt as best he can without getting on her bad side, again.

Month 8

On the minor Republic world of Bankor, Ras Urdo rises to the position of senator after a contentious election. On the eve of his victory party a Republic strike force led by Captain Niall Organa and Mandalorians raid the senator’s home and expose his lies and secrets in a vicious shootout. By the end of the night the would-be senator is arrested and incarcerated in a top secret Republic prison facility on [Redacted].

SIS agents install the runner up as Senator, a young twi’lek politician by the name of Leontyne Saresh. A young progressive woman of ambition. She is fiercely against the Empire and believes that the only path to true peace is the complete destruction of the Empire but for now she pursues issues focused on Bankor.

• Elected: Durasay returns home and pursues a life of politics and public service eventually securing himself a seat as a senator of Pantora and pushing for greater freedom from the central government of the Galactic Republic.
• Hidden Knowledge: Having removed himself from public life, Sylvain travels the galaxy following the flows of the Force and recruits allies in the shadows. Mystics who see as he do, remnants of the Jal Shey.
• Diplomacy is Hard: Alysele is appointed to a position of diplomat on Corellia to work with the Empire and maintain peace between the two factions.

Month 9

Returned from the depths of wild space, Lord Usur an apprentice of the Dread Masters meets secretly with Darth Hoshi alerts her to a grand secret. The Dread Masters are not lost but being held by the Republic, he goes to the Dark Councilor to beseech her aid in ascertaining their exact location to free them and unleash tier power on the galaxy once again. Meanwhile agents of Darth Hoshi and Darth Malgus meet to solidify an alliance, in the shadows is Magpie who has aligned her forces with Darth Hoshi and is leading the efforts to discover the location of the Dread Masters.

Quietly away from the public eye, Thy Yulani gives birth to a son with Master Satele Shan at her side. Few know the true parentage of her boy, Nilu, but his red tinged skin and features denote him of having true Sith ancestry. Thy remains with the child before leaving him with trusted friends and returning to the Jedi.

Month 10 through 12

On Corellia the Sith Empire Embassy is completed, it is a momentous event that brings about much celebration across Corellia. Darth Xevious heads the delegation of the Empire to celebrate the opening of the embassy, for the Republic Jedi Master Satele Shan represents the Galactic Republic and many high level officials of Corellia arrive as well.

The event is marred by a terrorist attack by terrorists posing as SIS agents. Nearly fifty casualties but the agents are brought to justice and revealed to be independent agents of unknown affiliation. This is the first of many such attacks in the Empire and Republic, it is unclear if these attacks are meant to build distrust between the major factions or some other motive.

Timeline of 3654 BBY
