THE TIMELINE
Key:
BTI = Before the Invasion
ATI = After the Invasion
34 BTI
- The Empire is defeated! Triumphant in their battle, the Rebel Alliance returns from the battle of Endor victorious. The Jedi emerge from hiding after decades in the shadows hiding from persecution and trying to regain strength. With the death of the Moff Council at Endor, the Rebels recapture Imperial Center and the Empire falls seemingly over night. The New Republic rises just a few short months later and the Remnants of the Empire break into factions as the age of the warlord arises.
[/ul]
O BTI
- The Yuuzhan Vong invade the galaxy from three separate launch points at Mon Calamari, Drongar, and, Gamorr devastating these worlds. Refugees flee as they push forward, the New Republic unable to comprehend their organic technology they cannot be stopped. Sadists that relish in the destruction they sow, entire systems are razed. When finally the secret to their organics is discovered they have already pushed into New Republic space and the loss number in the millions. The galaxy watches in horror as the worlds evacuated are terraformed to fit their needs. [/ul]
2 ATI
- As the Vong press onwards and the New Republic scrambles to organize the defense of the next worlds in their invasion corridor, the Jedi enter into the fray as generals and soldiers seeking to use their awesome numbers to shift the tide of war. A decisive battle comes to the monarchy world of Tholation and the New Republic is joined tentatively by the Imperial Remnant as they make a stand. Of fifty Jedi sent to the Siegeguard wall on Tholation only seven return. Able to deal a terrible loss to the Vong, the Republic forces their were devastated awaiting reinforcements, blockaded by Peace Brigadiers. Tholatin becomes the battle that galvanize the galaxy against the atrocities of the Vong and the Jedi become the new face of the war. [/ul]
2 ATI, Month 11
- The New Republic realizing their strength when joined with the Empire offers a peace treaty in order to defeat the Vong threat. Joined by the Hapan Consortium the trio of governments forms into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Their combines forces give hope to a galaxy gripped by fear.[/ul]
3 ATI
- The Galactic Alliance now has a changed the war efforts. The entire galaxy in disarray they've switched to the offensive using the enormous combined fleets of the Empire and Hapan Consortium. The weakness found in the Yuuzhan Vong technology proved too great an advantage and the Alliance finally turned the tide of war against the sadist invaders. However the Jedi suffered countless losses at the hands of the Vong and their Force-hunting voxyn. In addition focused on the frontlines, the Alliance neglects the Outer Rim worlds that continue to burn under an unchecked Vong assault. [/ul]
5 ATI
- The Galactic Alliance forces defeat the Yuuzhan Vong with their invasion of Coruscant dealing a death blow to the heirarchy and exposing their true leader. The castes thrown into bedlam and their armies suffering too great a loss with the death of their greatest commanders, they retreat from known space. Those left behind become victim to prejudice or the Bothan ar'kai. Recovery begins as the Vong abandoned their conquest and the formation of two galactic shaping organizations occur. The Senate Select Committee for Refugees, or SELCORE and RePlanetHab, two groups that would shape the galaxy in their own way.[/ul]
5 ATI, Month 4
- Yenga the Hutt, an upstart crimelord manages to pull together the fractures criminals into his own Empire. Threatened, the Black Sun makes shadow attacks against his operations creating a war against the two criminal groups. Striking an accord with the Exchange and other small syndicates, Yena manages to muscule his way to the top crushing the Black Sun through assassination of their Vigos. Placing himself at the top of the Exchange, as Compeer, he becme one of the galaxy's most powerful and influencial figures through planning and sheer luck.[/ul]
- The Jedi are spread among many Temples of the galaxy, on worlds such as Ossus, Kashyyyk, and Dantooine, those planets with strong force auras. With prices on their heads through the Exchange, their numbers dwindle. The Order becomes divided within itself between proactive and conventialists, the Master's Council repairs it's own numbers as it tries to hold the Order, and the galaxy together. [/ul]
7 ATI
- The Jedi Order divides into two sects, the Old Guard and the rogue Knights lead under charismatic and powerful Jedi Master, Jorryn Korr. Using both sides of the Force, light and dark, the rogue Knights become an increasing threat as their radical ideal spread throughout the ranks. Their headquarters becomes the Force-attuned temple of Freedon Nadd deep within Dxun's jungles. GrandMaster Reger Ferrier twisted by the war with the Vong falls to the darkside and plots against Lord Korr and his knights. [/ul]
7 ATI, Months 7-9
- A once proud and victorious Alliance comprised of the New Republic, the Remnants of the Empire, and the Hapan monarchy grew at odds with one another. RePlanetHab with it's bribed senators and key political officials was able to continually steal planets away from SELCORE and the Reconstruction Authority, only to sell them for profit as if the homeworlds of billions of diverse sentients were products to be bartered. Corruption swelled and with the threat of the Vong diminished, the Galactic Alliance's military saw little aid. Angered by these faults, the Empire seceded from the Alliance and marked out it's own borders. Shortly afterward the Hapans, almost enitrely ignored in their efforts to recover the war torn sector of their control broke ties as well, forming patrolled borders to which neither Imperial, Alliance, or Hapan dared to cross into one another's controlled space. A Cold war had begun. [/ul]
- Turned against one another, the three largest and most powerful factions in the galaxy sought to guard its borders and hurt those spurned by a once strong truce. RePlanetHab and the Corporate Alliance took advantage of this cold war, often bidding the three against one another creating rising tensions and the threat of war. Those in the criminal business often found it more difficult to cross between the neutral zones and the syndicates suffered greatly. The Jedi sinced recovered from the loss of the war and the Great Schism, attempted to keep the peace in all sectors, often mediating the disputes, as they had Temples within nearly all three controlled areas and called none home.[/ul]
7 ATI, Month 10
- Having been warped by his own darkness and the war with the Vong, Reger Ferrier has fallen deep into the darkside of the Force. Seeking to rid the galaxy of Korr and his knights he gains the aid of four Jedi Masters through his persuasive oration and luring them to the darkside. Tainted by his influence these Masters agree to his plan of slaughter. Under the cover of night and pouring rain they murdered the young members of the rogue Knights while gathered at their Temple on Dxun. Overwhelmed by Korr and his inner circle all perished save two Masters. No long under the influence of the deceased Ferrier, these Jedi are overcome with guilt and agree to exile themselves to far corners of the galaxy. [/ul]
