134 BBY or 134[1] Before the Battle of Yavin was a year in the Galactic Standard Calendar[7] that was a part of the era known as the Great Peace of the Republic.[2] Around that year,[1] the Blue Star Centre—home to a group of philosophers—was founded in the settlement Gadrin on[8] the planet[9] Cularin.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
134 BBY was indirectly mentioned in the "Operation Blue Star" adventure of Wizards of the Coast's Living Force roleplaying campaign,[8] released in 2001[10] and written by Megan Robertson.[8]
Appearances[]
- "Operation Blue Star" – Living Force campaign (First mentioned) (Indirect mention only)
Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 The adventure "Operation Blue Star" of the Living Force roleplaying campaign establishes Blue Star Centre to have been founded 103 years prior. The Living Force Campaign Guide dates the beginning of the campaign to one year after the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, which translates to around 31 BBY per The New Essential Chronology, while "Below the Belt: Philology" shifts the setting of the campaign ten years forward, that is, to around 21 BBY. "Operation Blue Star" is set before the events of "Below the Belt: Philology," therefore it must be set around 31 BBY and Blue Star Centre must have been established around 134 BBY.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, Vol. I, p. 363 ("Great Peace of the Republic") establishes that the Great Peace of the Republic lasted between the Ruusan campaign and the beginning of the Clone Wars, which The New Essential Chronology dates to 1000 BBY and 22 BBY, respectively.
- ↑ Galactic History on The Old Republic's official website (article) (backup link) dates the Tho Yor Arrival, as described in Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi 0, to the year BTC 32,800 of the calendar based on the date of the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. Since the difference between that calendar and the Galactic Standard Calendar—based on the date of the Battle of Yavin—was 3,653 years per the reasoning here, the Tho Yor Arrival must have taken place in the year 36,453 BBY of the latter dating system. Therefore, the difference between the Galactic Standard Calendar and the dating system based on the Tho Yor Arrival that is featured in Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void must be 36,453 years.
- ↑ Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia places the Treaty of Coruscant, which served as the zero point of a calendar adopted by the Galactic Senate following the conclusion of the Great Galactic War per Galactic History on The Old Republic's official website (article) (backup link), in the year 3653 BBY of the Galactic Standard Calendar, which was based around the date of the Battle of Yavin. Thus, the difference between the two dating systems is 3,653 years.
- ↑ The New Essential Chronology establishes that the zero point of the calendar introduced by Tarsus Valorum was the Ruusan Reformation. The book places that event in the year of 1000 BBY of the Galactic Standard Calendar—which was based around the date of the Battle of Yavin—therefore establishing a difference of one thousand years between the two dating systems.
- ↑ Per the reasoning here, the Battle of Yavin, the zero point in the Galactic Standard Calendar per The New Essential Chronology, can be placed in 35:3:8 under the Great ReSynchronization dating system, thereby confirming the placement of the division between each Galactic Standard Calendar year as the third month in the Great ReSynchronization year. Thus, there is a two-month, seven day gap between the two dating systems, with the first two months of a GrS year being the last two of the preceding Galactic Standard Calendar year, and there is a total difference of 35 years and 2 months between the two systems.
