<!--  Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Galaxymap1.jpg|330px|thumb|Map of the Star Wars galaxy released by Star Wars Insider]] -->
The '''Star Wars galaxy''' is the fictional setting for the Star Wars franchise. It is referred to in several official publications as '''the Galaxy''' or '''the Known Galaxy'''. 

It is unofficially referred as the '''Galaxy, Far Far Away''' ('''GFFA''' for short) by the fan community due to the [[Star Wars opening crawl|opening crawl]] from the beginning of each Star Wars film, which contains the line “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....”.

Several unofficial sources state that the length of the Star Wars galaxy is 120,000 [[light-year]]s across and contains 400 billion stars, half of which can support life, and 25 million sentient species in the galaxy.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

=Galactic divisions=
The Galaxy is divided concerning the type of life it holds and the distance from the core as well as the trade in each.

==The Core==
The Core can be divided into three regions: The Deep Core, the Core Worlds and the Colonies (sometimes considered a separate region).

===Deep Core===<!-- This section is linked from [[Star Destroyer]] -->
[[Image:Modimapgalaxy1.jpg|300px|thumb|Map of the Galaxy Far, Far Away]]
The '''Deep Core''' is at the center of the galaxy, even closer than the [[Core Worlds]] like [[Coruscant]] and [[Alderaan]].

It has countless stars packed together in a relatively small area, so [[hyperspace]] travel is slow and dangerous. The intense radiation and relatively young stars mean that it has very few habitable worlds compared to the rest of the galaxy. The few known worlds of the Deep Core include [[Byss]] (whereto the disembodied consciousness of Emperor [[Palpatine]] fled after his death at the [[Battle of Endor]], according to Expanded Universe literature), Khomm, Ruan, and the [[List of Star Wars planets (E-G)#Empress Teta|Empress Teta]] system. The [[Koornacht Cluster]] is one particularly dense area of stars, located at the edge of the Deep Core bordering on the Core Worlds, and contains numerous planets including [[List of Star Wars planets (M-N)#N'zoth III|N'Zoth]], the homeworld of the [[Yevetha]]. The moon [[Ebaq 9]] was the setting for a major battle during the [[Yuuzhan Vong invasion]], resulting in a [[New Republic (Star Wars)|New Republic]] victory following the successful execution of a trap for the [[Yuuzhan Vong]].

===Core Worlds===
The '''Core Worlds''' are the known worlds, or planetary systems, that are near the core of the Star Wars galaxy. The core worlds are the richest, most populated worlds in the Star Wars Galaxy, and it was the Core Worlds that first formed the Old Republic. [[Coruscant]] is by far the most important of the Core worlds and is said to be the source of the first humans. However, there are numerous other worlds which can be found in this dense region of the galaxy. 

The Core Worlds contain millions of systems, including Coruscant, [[Alderaan]], [[Corellia]], [[Chandrila]], [[Thyferra]], [[List of Star Wars planets (K-L)#Kuat|Kuat]], [[List of Star Wars planets (M-N)#Nubia|Nubia]], and [[List of Star Wars planets (C-D)#Duro|Duro]]. Less dense than the Deep Core, the Core Worlds are the center of commerce and society in the galaxy as they lie on the intersection of the many great hyperspace lanes. The Colonies include Commenor, [[List of Star Wars planets (C-D)#Cato Neimoidia|Cato Neimoidia]], and Bilbringi, as well as numerous other worlds which have served as stage for the great [[Galactic Civil War]] in the fight between the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Empire]] and the [[Rebel Alliance]].

===Colonies===
The '''Colonies''' were some of the first planets settled outside the [[Core Worlds]] by the [[Galactic Republic (Star Wars)|Republic]], especially the region known as "''The Slice''", defined by the edges of the Perlemian Trade Route and the Corellian Run. There were also Worlds in the Colonies that were founding members of the Republic. After 25,000 years, the worlds are almost as influential as the Core, being just as industrialized and with firmly established cultures, with many worlds supporting vast shipyard complexes. Important manufacturing planets are [[Fondor]], where the Super Star Destroyer ''[[Executor (Star Wars)|Executor]]'' was built, and Balmorra, a major [[TIE fighter|TIE]] producer. [[List of Star Wars planets (M-N)#Manaan|Manaan]] is home to the [[Selkath]], who harvest and export [[kolto]] across the galaxy. [[List of Star Wars planets (A-B)#Arkania|Arkania]] is home to the Arkanians, a near Human species skilled at genetics and cybernetics. Mrlsst, home of the Mrlssi, is a famous university world also located in the Colonies. Many of Kuat Drive Yards' factory worlds are located here, as are the [[Neimoidian]] purse worlds, Neimoidia, [[List of Star Wars planets (C-D)#Cato Neimoidia|Cato Neimoidia]], Deku Neimoidia, and Koru Neimoidia.

During the [[Galactic Civil War]], the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Empire]] ruthlessly controlled the region. After the death of [[Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]], the region was liberated by the [[New Republic (Star Wars)|New Republic]].

==Outer Territories==
===Inner Rim===
The '''Inner Rim''' is the section of the galaxy between the Colonies and the Expansion Region. Some planets in this galactic ring include Rendili, and Rodia. During the growth of the Republic, the Inner Rim was colonized after the Colonies region, and was then known simply as "The Rim". Later, the Expansion Region was opened up to colonization. A sudden boom after this led to the establishment of two more regions, the Mid Rim and Outer Rim, and saw the "Rim" renamed as the Inner Rim.

===Expansion Region===
The '''Expansion Region''' is precisely what it sounds like; it is territory colonized during a sudden expansion from the Inner Rim territories. During most of the [[Galactic Republic|Old Republic]], it was considered a vast field of raw materials. The [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Empire]] treated the Expansion Region as an area to obtain slaves, and [[strip mining|strip-mined]] the entire belt of worlds. Mandalore, Nkllon, and Kalarba are planets located within this region.

===Mid Rim===
The Mid Rim is a galactic ring located between the Outer Rim and Inner Rim/Expansion Regions. On the border of the division lies Nam Chorios and the Meridian Sector. Other planets in the area include [[Naboo]], Ithor, and [[Ord Mantell]]. Not long after the [[Battle of Endor]], most of it was seized by the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Imperial]] warlord [[Admiral Teradoc]].

===Outer Rim===
{{main|Outer Rim Territories}}
The '''Outer Rim Territories''' is the outermost part of the explored portion of the ''Star Wars'' galaxy. During the long period of the [[Galactic Republic]], the Outer Rims were very isolated; this is due to many uncharted regions and planets, untouched for countless centuries. Because of this isolation from other worlds, it became a breeding ground for criminals. Seen in ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]'', the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Galactic Empire]]'s presence is made known in the area. This region was free of Imperial control, though this usually meant criminal lords like [[Jabba the Hutt]] had free reign. Outer Rim worlds include [[Taris]], [[Dantooine]], [[Tatooine]], [[Yavin]], [[Hoth]], [[Endor]], [[Dagobah]], [[Xagobah]], [[List of Star Wars planets (A-B)#Bakura|Bakura]] [[Ryloth]], [[Bogden]] Kamino and many others. The Death Star was created to reign in the Outer Rim, as was Grand Moff Tarkin's jurisdiction.

===Wild Space===
'''Wild Space''' is on the frontier of the known galaxy, and is the blurred edge separating civilization from the Unknown Regions. Planets in this region lie so far from the galactic centers of power that they are virtually ignored. Very few people have ventured into Wild Space and into the Unknown Regions. Technically speaking, Wild Space extends beyond the galaxy in some areas. [[Outbound Flight Project|Outbound Flight]], a Jedi project to explore realms beyond the known galaxy, crossed through Wild Space en route to the Unknown Regions.

===Unknown Regions===<!-- This section is linked from [[Mara Jade]] -->
The '''Unknown Regions''' lie beyond the region known as Wild Space. They are uncharted by any of the known galactic powers.

After the [[Mandalorian]] War, [[Revan]] and [[Malak]] led a fifth of the Republic fleet, claiming to be searching for more Mandalorians, into this region. It should be noted that these regions were considered unknown at the time, but were later included in the outer rim because the "unknown" regions are only uncharted regions for the given time. The fleet vanished for months and was presumed lost. Later the fleet returned with ships of alien design and started attacking the Republic. This led to the start of the [[Jedi Civil War]]. After the Jedi Civil War, Revan fled into these unknown regions again and has not returned since. It is rumored he went to fight the true [[Sith]]. Little is known of where he went or when Revan will return, but many are waiting. The [[Jedi Exile]] went to the Unknown Regions 5 years later to help Revan with this task. The fate of the two Jedi remains unknown, though Jedi Master [[Kreia]] remarked that the "true Sith" lay in this area, and were presumably hostile to the rest of the galaxy at the time.

[[List of Star Wars planets (C-D)#Csilla|Csilla]], home to the [[Chiss]], is one of the only known inhabited planets in the Unknown Regions. The Chiss [[Grand Admiral]], [[Thrawn]], was tasked by [[Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]] to lead a pacification mission into the Unknown Regions, a duty that Thrawn carried out until five years after the Emperor's death. Furthermore, the ancient insectoid [[Killik]] race inhabits this region of space; their territory borders Chiss space. [[Lehon|Rakata Prime]], the [[Rakata (Star Wars)|Rakatan]] homeworld, is also located in the Unknown Regions. Another species that seems to live in the Unknown Regions are the Vagaari.  The [[Ssi-Ruuvi]] [[Imperium]] also lies in the Unknown Regions.

In the ''New Jedi Order'' book series, the living planet of [[List of Star Wars planets (W-Z)#Zonama Sekot|Zonama Sekot]] flees into the Unknown Regions after being attacked by the "far outsiders" ([[Yuuzhan Vong]]). The [[Jedi]] find record of the planet's travels after extensive searching, and the Jedi Luke Skywalker leads a team of other Jedi to search for the world in the Unknown Regions; record shows it repelled the Yuuzhan Vong in the past and the Jedi now seek a new ally to help once again thwart the invading Yuuzhang Vong. They eventually are successful and persuade the living planet to attempt a hazardous return to known space. 

{{StarWarsPlanets}}

==Sectors==
{{main|Sectors of Star Wars}}
As of the Emperor's New Order, a constellation of 50 or more [[planetary system]]s is defined as a ''Sector''. Sectors of Note include (followed by a notable system or planet):
*Kuat Sector ([[List of Star Wars planets (K-L)#Kuat|Kuat]])
*Meridian Sector ([[List of Star Wars planets (M-N)#Nam Chorios|Nam Chorios]])

*Atrivis Sector ([[List of Star Wars planets (E-G)#Generis|Generis]])

Also see [[Sectors of Star Wars]] and [[Systems of Star Wars]]

==Political areas==
Other minor political areas include:

'''Bothan Space''' &mdash; A region between the Mid Rim and Outer Rim, which is home to the Bothan race. The capital of Bothan Space is Bothawui. The Caamas incident, involving the genocide of the planet Caamas, took place in this region.

'''Hutt Space''' &mdash; A region in the [[Outer Rim Territories]], which is controlled by criminal gangsters known as the [[Hutts]]. It was subjugated by the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] during their invasion after the Hutts attempted to double-cross them. The space is composed of planets such as [[List of Star Wars planets (M-N)#Nal Hutta|Nal Hutta]] and [[List of Star Wars planets (W-Z)#Ylesia|Ylesia]]. The Y'toub system is the location of both Nal Hutta, and the Smuggler's Moon, [[Nar Shaddaa]]. It is surrounded by the planets [[List of Star Wars planets (A-B)#Bimmisaari|Bimmisaari]], [[List of Star Wars planets (K-L)#Kubindi|Kubindi]], [[List of Star Wars planets (K-L)#Kessel|Kessel]], [[List of Star Wars planets (H-J)#Honoghr|Honoghr]], [[List of Star Wars planets (A-B)#Barabil|Barabi]] and [[List of Star Wars planets (E-G)#Gamorr|Gamorr]]. The [[Tion Cluster]] is the right and [[Bothan Space]] to the left.

'''[[Corporate Sector Authority]]''' &mdash; The government of a [[free enterprise]] [[fiefdom]] known as the '''Corporate Sector''' that was formed in 490 [[Dates in Star Wars|BBY]] to free the [[Galactic Republic|Republic]] lawmakers and the Corporate moneymakers from their differences. During the height of [[Palpatine|Emperor Palpatine]]'s rule of the galaxy, the Corporate Sector Authority comprised 30,000 star systems. Shortly after the battle of Hoth, the Corporate Sector found it profitable to develop technologies for the Rebel Alliance. At a research space station called ''Pondunt'', Corporate Sector scientists created the Mag Pulse warhead. This warhead could temporarily neutralize the weapon systems on an enemy ship. They then handed the Mag Pulse over to the Rebels, who in turn used it in a raid at an Imperial Research space station. A Rebel B-Wing carrying the warhead was captured in the fight. An analysis of the Mag Pulse traced its origins to the Corporate Sector. Emperor Palpatine dispatched Grand Admiral Zaarin to capture the ''Pondunt'' station, seize the Mag Pulse schematics, and thereby teach the Corporate Sector a lesson. The Imperial raid was a success, and afterwards relations between the Corporate Sector and the Galactic Empire were very strained. During the [[Yuuzhan Vong]] invasion, the Corporate Sector isolated itself from the Galaxy.

'''[[Tion Hegemony]]''' &mdash; Also known as the Ancient and Honorable Union of the Tion Hegemony, this sector of the Tion Cluster is a collection of 27 star systems. It is far from the Core Worlds, but embraces some of the oldest and most ancient human civilizations in the galaxy. As time went on, the Hegemony lost power, but it remained the breadbasket of the Tion, providing foodstuffs for all three of the Tion's sectors.

'''Cronese Mandate''' &mdash; A small government within the galaxy.

'''[[Hapes Consortium]]''' &mdash; A female-dominated alliance of sixty-three worlds. It originated as a base for pirates and privateers, but soon turned into a high class society with elegant ship designs and sprawling cities. The chief of state is the [[Queen Mother]]. The Queen Mother is also head of the royal family. It is the task of the prince to find a wife who will give birth to the next Queen Mother. 

'''[[Ssi-Ruuk Star Cluster]]''' &mdash; Also known as the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, this cluster of planets was inhabited by the technologically-advanced Ssi-Ruuk. It is located beyond the Outer Rim.

'''[[The Centrality]]''' &mdash; An independent government in a large and remote region of space nestled between [[Hutt Space]] and the [[Cron Drift]]. It was an empty region lacking many stable [[hyperspace route]]s, with areas so devoid of systems that some travelers would run out of fuel before finishing their journeys even halfway.

'''[[Imperial Remnant]]''' &mdash; The remainder of the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Galactic Empire]] that came about following the Bastion Accords that ended the [[Galactic Civil War]]. Its capital of Bastion, located deep in the Outer Rim.

{{StarWarsGovernments}}

==Other areas==
''Star Wars'' covers numerous space anomalies and locations, such as [[nebula]]s, [[asteroid]]s, [[cluster]]s, and [[black hole]]s. Minor star clusters include the Aramand, located within [[Sectors of Star Wars#Brak|Brak Sector]]; and Koornacht, a Deep Core cluster featuring the planet of J'p'tan. The Tion Cluster, located near the Cron Drift in the Outer Rim territories, is home to Sienar Fleet Systems and the planets Lianna, Dellalt, and Rhen Var. It has a rich history with the Jedi Order, and was one of the choke points during the Clone Wars.

Asteroids are also commonplace in the ''Star Wars'' setting. Cairn is an Outer Rim asteroid that was once a base of operations for the [[Imperial Remnant]], before being conquered by the [[New Republic (Star Wars)|New Republic]]. Kyle Katarn visits the asteroid in the game ''[[Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast]]''.

Various nebulas exist throughout the galaxy, serving as plot devices and scenery for the stories. The Cowl Crucible is a minor nebula located between Lahara and Oricho Sectors. The Dragonflower Nebula, on the other hand, plays a central plot role. It is located near and around the [[Gamorrean]] colony world of Pzob in the [[Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]]. Site of the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Imperial]] battlemoon ''Eye of Palpatine'' until it undertook its mission to Belsavis eight years after the [[Battle of Endor]]. Finally, the Spangled Veil Nebula (from the Meridian Sector) and the Nyarikan Nebula (near Garos IV and Sundari) round out the list of nebulas.

There are several other points throughout the ''Star Wars'' galaxy. [[The Maw]] is an unstable and almost completely unnavigable cluster of [[black holes]] located near the planet [[Planets of Star Wars#Kessel|Kessel]]. The Maw was the site of [[Grand Moff Tarkin]]'s [[Maw Installation]], which built the [[Death Star]] superweapon, among others. The Rishi Maze is a satellite galaxy located beyond the frontier of the main galactic disk. Finally, Tingel Arm is a region of the Corporate Sector that extends off of one of the galaxy's "arms".

Numerous artificial landmarks and stellar arrangements also appear in the saga's various storylines. Lupalnia Satellite Moons is a collection of artificial moons created by the Empire, located on the outer rim, to monitor the nearby planets. Stenness Node is a collection of seven mining worlds in three star systems located in the Colonies region. There are 25 humanoid species, who collectively are often referred to as 'Nessies. Due to the demand for the ores mined, Stenness Node was given its own hyperspace jump very early on. While the mines are played out now, the wealth generated still provides good lifestyles for the planets' inhabitants, who are highly addicted to [[Spice (Star Wars)|spice]].

=Traffic=
Various established 'ways' pass through the sectors. 

==Trade and hyperspace routes==
The Sisar Run is one of the most minor trade routes in the galaxy. On the other hand, the Corellian Run is large, originating in the [[Corellia|Corellian System]] and ending somewhere in Wild Space. Another route that starts in Corellia is the Corellian Trade Spine, which crosses the Rimma Trade Route at [[List of Star Wars planets#Yag'Dhul|Yag'Dhul]], and branches into the Ison Trade Corridor in the [[Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]]. The Hydian Way also begins at [[Corellia]], intersects the Perlemain Trade Route at [[List of Star Wars planets#Brentaal|Brentaal]], and snakes up the Tingel Arm to its termination in the [[Corporate Sector]].

The Ison Trade Corridor is a lightly populated minor trade route in the [[Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] of the Star Wars galaxy. It branches off from the Corellian Trade Spine and passes through such backwater planets as [[List of Star Wars planets#Varonat|Varonat]], [[Bespin]], [[Hoth]], and [[List of Star Wars planets#Ison|Ison]] before meeting back up with the trade spine. Additionally, the Perlemian Trade Route is a major hyperspace corridor. Beginning at [[Coruscant]], it crosses the Hydian Way at [[List of Star Wars planets#Brentaal|Brentaal]] and ends in the [[Outer Rim Territories|Outer Rim]] in between the [[Corporate Sector]] and the [[Tion Cluster]].

The Rimma Trade Route rounds out the major trade routes of ''Star Wars''. It was initially established by [[Sectors of Star Wars#Tapani|Tapani Sector]] merchants around 5,500 [[BBY]]. It begins in the Core worlds near [[Planets of Star Wars#Fondor|Fondor]], intersects the Corellian Trade Spine at [[Planets of Star Wars#Yag'Dhul|Yag'Dhul]], and travels through [[List of Star Wars planets (R-S)#Sullust|Sullust]] and [[Planets of Star Wars#Sluis Van|Sluis Van]] before its end, in the Kathol Sector.

===Kessel Run===
The '''Kessel Run''' is a pathway from planet [[List of Star Wars planets (K-L)#Kessel|Kessel]] used frequently by smugglers in the transport of precious [[Glitterstim spice]]. 

A well-known but confusing description of the Kessel Run is made by [[Han Solo]] in ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope|A New Hope]]'' when he boasts to have made the run with the [[Millennium Falcon]] in "less than twelve [[parsec]]s." A parsec is a unit of distance, not a measure of time or speed. Some have explained this apparent error by postulating the presence of a [[black hole]] cluster ([[The Maw]]) close to Kessel, which is used by pilots to shorten the distance of the run. Indeed, Lucas reveals in the DVD commentary of ''A New Hope'' that Solo ''was'' referring to distance. Lucas points out that a shorter distance traveled results in a shorter time. In the ''Star Wars'' galaxy, he explains, racers of the Kessel Run had the goal of plotting the shortest distance through space in order to reach this shorter time.

According to [[Expanded Universe (Star Wars)|Expanded Universe]] literature, navigating the Maw black hole cluster is extremely hazardous. Ships making runs must take long complex courses to avoid the dangerous [[singularities]] and gravity distortions of the cluster. However, it is speculated that Solo brazenly shaved by the gravity wells, thus achieving a run under a distance of 12 parsecs where a safer route would be much longer. This shorter run, by necessity, would require a faster ship than more circuitious routes, since a slower ship would not be able to resist the gravitational pull of the closer black-holes.

The question of whether Solo was boasting about the speed of his ship, or his skillful abilities at piloting is still debated amongst fans. One could also look at the wording of the quote and consider Solo may have been mentioning another aspect of the Falcon's fame that is unrelated to its speed - that she earned prestige for surviving a dangerous short-distanced Kessel Run, as well as being "fast".

A more straightforward explanation is that [[George Lucas]], in writing the script, did not remember or realize that parsecs are not time measurements. According to some sources, Lucas did realize this, but wished to portray Han Solo as an absent-minded braggart who simply did not know what he was talking about.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} The bemused reactions of [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[Luke Skywalker]] to Han's quip suggest that this could be the case.



=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".

-Episode One  <br> '''A NEW BEGINNING''' <br>
-<br> It is a perilous time for the galaxy.
-<br> A time of discovery, wonder and fear of what lies in the darkness between stars.
-<br> Your fathers' generation were the first to achieve interstellar travel, in hopes of retaking the skies. Fearless adventurers and scholars blindly venture amid unfamiliar stars to reestablish the precious ancient HYPERSPACE BEACONS. A rag-tag core of lost worlds now make up the GALACTIC UNION that quests for any world... anyone to rebuild what once was. You are among the first to brave the black, to walk boldly on forgotten worlds, to uncover the past.
-<br>
-<br> Long before these dark times, one hundred planets were chosen for world-shaping. Legends say knights and priests of an ancient religion called Jedi drove the aliens called Vong to expand and reform derelict worlds. At first results were wondrous to behold. But numerous Ancient Republic member worlds plead caution against Jedi naivety and Vong conquest. Soon their fears became justified...  The Vong failed in an ill-fated crusade to cleanse all forms of technology amid the Sith-Imperial War but the war's legacy did not.
-<br> A generation later, by accident or by design, each terraformed world databank system fell poisoned. Insidiously a mechanical disease spread from world to world corrupting every datastore it could find, severing communication and inter-galactic travel, plunging the galaxy into a time of great darkness. With databanks of the Ancient Republic Spacelane Bureau lost or compromised in the aftermath - this patient SCORCHED-INTELLECT tactic resulted in 200 generations of solitude before worlds found ways to reconnect, ways to combat this data-plague.
-<br> Thus began the LOST AGE.
-<br>
-<br> It is 4000 years after the mythic Battle of Yavin. You emerge from the lushly forested opulent "core" world of Tatooine. Shepherding a primitive relic freighter, remnants of the Ancient Galactic Republic, you set out in a desperate effort to uncover worlds forgotten. An ambitious reclamation plan to restore the hyperspace beacons, aspiring to reunify the galaxy lost. Forever tight on supplies, struggling to stay one step ahead of xenophobia, pirates and the vengeful data-plague - you are excavators of the former galactic empires. Your hope... to venture into the Unknown Regions to find a new day. The force is but religious footnote of history in this time of detached ignorance, it will not "be with you"...
-<br>
-<br> You are crusaders.
-<br> You are myth finders.
-<br> You are archaeologists.
-<br> You are questing knights.
-<br>
-<br> Knights of the Ancient Republic....

This campaign guide offers both players and Gamemasters a wide array of new options that can be used to craft a unique roleplaying game experience. As the galaxy plunges into one war after another, the forces of the Republic, along with their Jedi allies, struggle to protect themselves from hordes of invading Mandalorians, tyrannical Sith lords, and traitorous allies on every front.
-::   Separatists and rebels threatened peaceful worlds with strange and unreasonable demands. Criminal organizations were rumored to be buying off corrupt politicians in the restoration days of the Ancient Republic Senate. And there were even whispers of new padawan learners and with that came other rumors of those falling into darkness and the Return of the dark side! And then things got very bad…
-::  In the skies above the former Outer Rim world of Tatooine, the rebuilding of the Ancient Republic merchant fleets engage the forces of xenophobia in a desperate effort to expand and reunify the galaxy to what it was 4000 years before.
-===Age of Emergence Details===
-::  The game would be set 4000 years after the Battle of Yavin, when Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance began overtaking the Galactic Empire, and some 40 years after the first ships were relaunched into space. This game will follow all of the Star Wars Expanded Universe storylines.
-[[Image:Corvette-CHRON.jpg|thumb]]
-[[Image:TantiveIV egvv.jpg|thumb|the core chasis of the CR90]]
-[[Image:Lambda1.jpg|thumb]]
-::   The characters are all future Padawans currently unaware of the power of the Force, working together to restore the Galactic Hypersapce Beacons under the guidance of the remnants of the Ancient Galactic Republic Alliance, on a rebuilt rag-tag ancient CR90 corvette cobbled together from ruined wreckages. The CR90 was commonly referred to as a Corellian Corvette or a blockade runner.  These ships were relatively small (for its era), multi-purpose capital ship manufactured by the long defunct Corellian Engineering Corporation. Like its predessessors the CR90 possesses legendary adaptability, which allows it to serve in roles as mundane as freight hauling or as high-profile as diplomatic escort. This ship, '''the Monomyth Crusader''', is part of a small but growing group of hyperspace capable star ships sent out of the old Outer Rims towards a world known only in children's fairy tale songs as '''Bone World'''
-:::  The core chasis formerly registry name: '''Night Caller''', the ship was built from the ground up to serve as a small excavator carrier. The primary changes from the original CR90 design were an enlarged bridge section with a starfighter hold, and a tractor beam projector (not currently functioning) suited to a much larger warship. Carrying a rebuilt light-sailed Lambda-class T-4a shuttle in its forward cargo hold and mounted a heavy tractor beam projector in the place of one of its turbolaser turrets. Also, the normal deck between the hangar and bridge, usually used for luxury quarters, was removed.
-::  Meanwhile, on another planet of importance for which a sister mission is responsible is '''Yuuzhan'tar, "the Hallow"'''.  The crew of '''the Red Dawn''' have been out of contact for over 5 weeks, their goal was to seek data to uncover the means to stop or slow the re-infection of the data-plague across Known Space.
-===NOTES for the ‘Tales’ setting===
-#  Technology is fairly similar to all of Star Wars but a bit more primitive
-:::*  Energy Weapons (blasters, vibro, force pikes, etc) in the Equipment section have ½ the shots or rounds listed there.
-:::*  Starship Hyper-drives take longer (and I will be changing the names to better reflect the Tales era).
-:::*  Also most ships do not have HyperDrive Nav Computers, instead relying on the HyperJump HaloNet Beacon network. These ‘jump beacons’, along with the HaloNet systems, allows for safe passage through Hyperspace. When plotting a course, assume that any systems with a HaloNet connection is also connected to the HyperJump system and that in affect the ship has a Nav Computer. Generally only Republic Navy Capital Ships of the Line have onboard nav computer systems which are huge and very complex machines.
-#  The Jedi Order, not yet formed, will be far less restrictive then in the Prequel Era – Jedi Masters teach as many Padawans as they feel they can and Jedi Knights are allowed to follow any path they wish. Padawans are also far more likely to come to the Jedi later in life, very few are raised from childhood in the Order. It is believed at this time that one should have some experiences. The Jedi are also allowed to marry and have children, for the structures and edicts of the Order are not as developed yet.
-#  A Master or the Jedi Knight might request aid from another Knight but they do not ‘order’ each other around. Padawans are still under the responsibility of their teachers until deemed fit for Knighthood but otherwise don’t overly restrict their students.
-#  The Jedi are far more dispersed in this time period. After the Scorched-Intelligence, the Jedi religion is only myth, legend and children's stories.
-#  The relationship between the reforming Republic and the Jedi is far less formal then in the Prequel Era (but still very symbiotic), the Republic or the Jedi might ‘request’ aid from each other and the assistances is generally agreed to, but no one is ‘ordered’ or ‘assigned’ to a mission by either group.
-#  The Republic also has a military and stellar navy at this time called the Army and Navy of the Republic.

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:
