This is a tangent off of the State of the galaxy thread at http://comnet.imperialnetwork.com/topic/6278/ with (mostly) canon info, compiled primarily from Wookiepedia.

The purpose is to help us as we write both official stories and semi-official stories on the StoryNet.  Main continuity differences are already explained by Fury in the main thread. 

The first Timeline is fairly complete.  I made it over a year ago for my Ossus Moon site and did a minor update/correction back in April.  The Seconed is from Wookiepedia and only lists Video Games, whereas the first includes comics and novels.

Holy Hot Damn, man!

I applaud your devotion to massive lists that boggle the mind and are thoroughly researched!

Jeez!

Don't forget that Dark empire muck we pretty much mostly if not out right ignore.

It has specifically been stated that the Dark Empire events will not happen.  Sorry.

Well that's up to the HC to decide, but as far I understand it, yes we are in a way 'frozen' within a general time period until the next chapter.

There is a great disturbance in the Force, as though millions of during/post Dark Empire related plots cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Still, didn't the last chapter hint at the Imperial conquest of Coruscant post-Thrawn?

As I stated in my preamble, the VE Timeline is progressing a bit differently than the Lucas-Approved Canon Timeline.  I need a lot more data for an accurate VE Timeline.  For all I know HC has a timeline already set but has spoilers we underlings mustn't see.

IF a friendly VE Timeline can be made for everyones' benefit that would be great.  Any assistance in that regard would be greatly appreciated.
