After centuries of Sith scheming, Palpatine, alias Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith, sets events in motion which lead to the Clone Wars, a conflict that tears apart the Galaxy.ДЄt the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine's master plan leads to the corruption of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, the Great Jedi Purge, and the formation of the Galactic Empire. However, the Sith, under Darth Bane, survived to plot against the Republic and the Jedi in the shadows. In this era, the Republic is seemingly in a golden age. Earlier Republic millennia are chronicled only as historical lore and legend. Though this era spans twenty-four thousand years of history, the earliest tale of this era takes place only as far back as 5000 BBY. Beginning with the formation of the Republic, it continues with the rises of multiple Sith Empires and ends with the defeat of the Brotherhood of Darkness at the Seventh Battle of Ruusan and the rebirth of the Republic in the Ruusan Reformation. This era explores the earliest days of the Galactic Republic, its protectors, the Jedi Order, and its enemies, the Sith.

Earlier stories would have appeared in the Alien Exodus trilogy had the focus of the project not shifted away from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Though this era spans some 11,000 years, the only tale currently chronicled in this era takes place in 25,793 BBY. Space travel is limited though the ruthless Rakatan Infinite Empire spans the reaches of the known worlds, using dark force techniques to power technology far in advance their subjugated neighbors.

This era explores the earliest days of the Je'daii Order, as the force is explored on Tython in the Deep Core.
