Editing Star Wars 4000 Years After Yavin (section)

=Story eras=
*'''The Old Republic (25,000 BBY - 1,000 BBY)'''<br>
The Old Republic was the government that united the ''Star Wars'' galaxy under the rule of the [[Galactic Senate]]. In this era, the Jedi are numerous, and serve as guardians of peace and justice. The Tales of the Jedi comics series takes place in this era, chronicling the immense wars fought by the Jedi of old, and the ancient Sith. 
*'''The Rise of the Empire (1,000 BBY - 0 BBY)'''<br>
After the seemingly final defeat of the Sith, the Republic enters a state of complacency. In the waning years of the Republic, the senate was rife with corruption and scandal, and saddled with a bureaucracy so immense that effective governing was nearly impossible. The ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected Supreme Chancellor, and promised to reunite the galaxy under a New Order. The [[Prequel Trilogy|prequel trilogy]] takes place during this era.
*'''The Rebellion (0 BBY - 5 ABY)'''<br>
An outcry of resistance begins to spread across the galaxy in protest to the new Empire's tyranny. Cells of Rebellion fight back, and the [[Galactic Civil War]] begins. This era begins with the Rebel victory that secured the Death Star plans, and ends a year after the death of the Emperor high over the forest moon of Endor. The Rebellion starts to reform itself into a body of government, first as the Alliance of Free Planets, and later the New Republic. The [[Original Trilogy|original trilogy]] takes place during this era. 
*'''The New Republic (5 ABY - 25 ABY)'''<br>
Having defeated the Empire at the [[Battle of Endor]], the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel Alliance]] must now transform itself from a militant resistance force into a functioning galactic government. As Imperial territory is reclaimed, the [[New Republic]] suffers growing pains, having to fend off insurrections, Imperial loyalists, and wayward warlords. Also, Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi, begins training apprentices, rebuilding the Jedi order. 
*'''The New Jedi Order (25 ABY - 36 ABY)'''<br>
The Jedi Knights are now a hundred strong. The New Republic has signed a peace treaty with what little remains of the Empire. The galaxy is finally enjoying a peaceful respite from decades of war. It's at this time that a horrible alien menace invades the Republic from beyond known space. The [[Yuuzhan Vong]] lay waste to entire worlds in their scourge, as depicted in the novels of ''[[New Jedi Order (series)|The New Jedi Order]]''.Five years later the galaxy goes through the events of the [[Dark Nest Trilogy]]. The novels detail how Luke Skywalker and his New Jedi Order confront the mysterious insectoid Killiks, who are a hive-minded species intent on conquering the Galaxy. 

*'''Legacy (40 ABY - 137+ ABY)'''<br>
Having reached peace with the Yuuzhan Vong, the newly formed Galactic Federation of Free Alliance struggles to keep itself working as a single government. But many threats from inside are joined by a danger that comes from the remains of the Dark Side. The new Jedi order created by Luke Skywalker faces a new era as the heirs of the Skywalker legacy grow up. Jacen Solo, perhaps the wisest of that new order, is now Ben Skywalker's master, and together they will have to confront the new powers willing to destroy the Jedi, the Galactic Federation and, maybe, the galaxy. The Legacy era continues in a series of comics that debuted in May 2006 entitled "Star Wars: Legacy".

:  [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperspace_beacon Hyperspace Beacon] - They were known to be in use in the Tion Cluster as early as 25,100 BBY. Beacons recorded local hyperspace data, which was then downloaded by visiting spacecraft. Each beacon kept accurate data on routes to a limited number of other beacons, providing practical limitations on hyperspace jumps in both distance and direction. The beacons were maintained and patrolled by the Republic Spacelane Bureau. Reliability of available data was only about 80%. Beacons were moored in open space between systems to avoid the effects of gravitation. <br> Pirates sometimes reprogrammed the beacons to transmit incorrect coordinates to ships, sending them into deep space so the ships could be ambushed and pillaged far from the interference of the Republic.  <br>  Around the time of the Mandalorian War the beacons became redundant with the introduction of navcomps. <br> Hyperspace beacons featured prominently in the Tales of the Jedi series, and were apparently necessary for all hyperspace travel during the events of the Great Sith War. However, by the time of the Knights of the Old Republic comics and computer games, hyperspace capable craft contained autonomous navigation computers. <br> Resources for Hyperspace Beacons:

:*  [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stenness_Hyperspace_Terminal The Stenness Hyperspace Terminal] was a popular space station that was located within the Stenness Node around 4,000 BBY.
:*  [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darknon_Station Darknon Station] was a space station on the Itani Run, along the edge of the Itani Nebula. The station had been built near a navigational beacon in the early years of hyperspace travel, in or before 4,000 BBY. Over many thousands of years, trade routes shifted and it lost significance, decaying into a half-abandoned ghostly shell of its former self.
:*  [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Terman_Station Terman Station] was a space station in the Terman system of the Periphery, between Sriluur and Hutt Space. Terman Station was ancient, and in fact was a Tionese orbital fortress dating to the wars between the Hutt Empire and Xim before the founding of the Old Republic. Despite this, it had been maintained and upgraded over the millennia.
