WARNING FOR NEW READERS: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR LATEST CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK

Hi! If you're new, welcome to Slaves of the Empire. If you're not, welcome back!

I've received a lot of questions about character ages and key events in this story, so I figured I'd delve into my top-secret worldbuilding notes and compile a timeline you guys can use for reference. For the ease of readers cross-referencing this story with Wookieepedia and other sources, this timeline uses the established Before the Battle of Yavin/After the Battle of Yavin dating system (BBY/ABY), in which year 0 is when the Battle of Yavin occurs.

Since Coruscant's planetary particulars are what sets Galactic Standard time and they are identical to Earth's (24-hour day, 365-day orbit), I also split a year on Coruscant into twelve months. That way, I have the option to specify if the amount of months between events is relevant (which you'll see it often is). For example, the notation '32.3BBY' is thirty-two years before the Battle of Yavin and specifically three months into that year. I hope this helps, and happy reading!
