Current Setting on the Timeline: 3959 BBY

In Character Character Biographies
#1

Please contribute, correct, or elaborate as needed! If there are any discrepancies, I ask that staff or DMs to clear things up and have the final ruling on the listed settings.

The current year is 3959 BBY, 1 year after the Mandalorian War, and 1 year before The Bombing of Telos IV.

Player Character Affiliations and their Current Standing in the Galaxy:

  • Mandalorian:
    Lost the war and scattered throughout the galaxy. What remains are remnants of Mandalorian clans attempting to survive by spreading their ideal and recruiting new blood into their clans.

  • Republic:
    Took heavy losses from the war and still recovering and rebuilding. The populace on the Outer Rim and Mid Rim Worlds is discontent. Some of Republic military and worlds will defect over to and support Revan’s Sith Empire.

  • Jedi Order:
    Splintered due to Revan and Malak leading the padawans and knights away from the order to fight in the Mandalorian War. Those who followed Revan into the Mandalorian War have either left the Jedi Order or joined Revan in his new Sith Empire.

  • Revan’s Sith Empire:
    Since Revan’s Sith Empire is only made known throughout the Galaxy after the Bombing of Telos, it is currently “in the making”. The Star Forge is either being found or already found and building the army and fleet for Revan. Note that the bulk of Revan’s Sith Empire is made up of Republic Defectors and Jedi Order knights/padawans turned “Sith”.

  • Original Sith Empire:
    The one introduced by SWTOR is currently hidden and out of view, though one of them is believed to be the instigator of the Mandalorian War.

  • Hutt Cartel:
    The Hutt Cartel did not have a stake in the Mandalorian War, although they will be readily working with Revan’s Sith Empire as soon as they emerge. It’s safe to assume some kind of deal is being made at this stage of the setting.

  • Czerka Corporation:
    It is confirmed that the Czerka Corporation is currently making a deal with Revan’s Sith Empire to become its main logistics and supplier in the coming Jedi Civil War.

According to Xeph on Discord

Please keep in mind that the precise second, of the precise minute, of the precise hour, of the precise day, or the precise month is undisclosed. But it is safe to assume we’re around the ass end of :3959:

Also, regarding the bombing of Telos, see the continuity section of The Bombing of Telos IV

The battle has been inconsistently dated in various sources. Carth’s dialogue from Knights of the Old Republic places the battle at 3960 BBY[7]—before the beginning of the Jedi Civil War and the defection of Saul Karath. The timeline within the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide later retconned that dating by placing the battle at 3958 BBY.

As for Revan’s Sith Empire, the generic timeline is as follows:

  1. Revan defeats the Mandalorians in 3960 BBY
  2. Revan investigates and confronts the Sith Emperor
  3. Revan and Malak get turned to the dark side and are ordered to find Star Forge
  4. Revan finds Star Forge and starts building the fleet
  5. Revan and Malak bomb Telos in 3958 BBY

Since the exact date of which 2-4 is happening isn’t known, we have assumed that #4 is where everything is right now.

#4

I have added a few more details to the Jedi Order and the Republic.

Also, here are the deets for Hutt Cartel and Czerka, please double check or if someone can come up with a better setting descriptor as to where they currently stand, it’d be great. (We’re avoiding generic descriptors, but something more relevant to the current timeline and how they’re proceeding onto the next)

  • Hutt Cartel:
    The Hutt Cartel did not have a stake in the Mandalorian War, although they will be readily working with Revan’s Sith Empire soon as they emerge. It’s safe to assume some kind of deal is being made at this stage of the setting.

  • Czerka Corporation:
    While supposedly neutral as they played the role of a weapons supplier in many occasions, Czerka will also be readily working with Revan’s Sith Empire soon as they emerge, as well.
    It is confirmed that the Czerka Corporation is currently making a deal with Revan’s Sith Empire to become its main logistics and supplier in the coming Jedi Civil War. Revan’s Sith Empire is not known outside of Korriban
