• Current Year: 3 ATC (3650 BBY)

• The Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire are engaged in a Cold War

• The Galactic Republic blames the Jedi for their loss.

• In the first wave, the Sith succeeded in seizing control of several star systems in the Outer Rim, destroying the Republic's shipyards in the Sluis sector, and strangling the popular Rimma Trade Route.

• The Imperial military slammed the Republic time and time again, from the deep sinkholes of Utapau to the tall forests of Agamar. From the frozen wastes of Ilum to the desert plains of Dathomir, violent battles killed untold millions. Despite its avowed neutrality, surface structures on the water-covered world of Manaan were completely destroyed, forcing the Selkath to retreat to their ocean underworld.

• The Jedi eventually stopped the Sith's invasion in the Mid Rim.
