3642 BBY
Template:Year The year 3642 before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) was a time period that brought significant changes to the state of the galaxy. Also known as the year 11 after the Treaty of Coruscant (ATC), it marked the end of the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire and the renewal of hostilities in the form of the Galactic War. A galaxy-spanning conflict similar to the first, the second war's origins could be traced back to numerous events and proxy wars between the two galactic powers during the previous decade and the early months of the year. Conflicts from the year before such as the Desolator crisis, Plan Zero, and the defection of the Republic's Havoc Squad served to increase the tensions between the Empire and Republic, and open warfare soon broke out in when the planet Balmorra was liberated from Imperial control and the Empire conquered the world of Taris. The freeing of the ancient Jedi Master Revan was the event that finally sparked the Empire into action, marking the end of the Cold War and a return to open conflict.
Events[edit | edit source]
- The planet Balmorra is freed from Imperial control by the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Balmorran resistance.[1]
- The Empire occupies the Republic world of Taris, effectively halting the Republic resettlement project.
- The Jedi Master Revan is freed from the Maelstrom prison after over three hundred years of captivity by a Republic strike team.
- Darth Baras' Plan Zero is implemented with the help of his apprentice, which combined with Revan's escape and the recent conflicts ignites the fires of war across the galaxy. After eleven years, the Cold War ends and the Galactic War begins.
- Thanks to Baras' machinations, his student is successful in the assassination of Baras' former master Darth Vengean on Dromund Kaas, allowing Baras to take Vengean's place on the Dark Council.[2]
