Expansion[]
During theyears of theOld Republic, the governing body gradually but steadily expanded its boundaries. Most of the settlements, however, were in a wedge-shaped region ofspace known asthe Slice. Aside from occasional protrusions intounknown areas and isolated settlements, most of thegalactic society lived within the confines of knownhyperspace routes and the establishedhyperlanes. Settlers and explorers, however, continued to search the wild and unexplored areas of the galaxy. In the years leading up to 12,000 BBY, this steady advancement continued.[1]
The expansion of the Republic continued around 12,000 BBY as colonists fromCorellia continued to explore uncharted space. A group of colonists settled on theMid Rimworld ofOrd Mantell. The colonists established an advanced military outpost on the planet for the expanding Republic, even though it was isolated from Republic space by uncharted area.[1] This planet was anOrdnance/Regional Depot (Ord) world whose purpose was to also protect Human colonists in the surrounding systems. Elsewhere, theIthorians ofIthor had their first contact with the Republic, further expanding the reaches of known space.[7]

Galactic History onThe Old Republic'sofficial website(article) (backup link) dates theTho Yor Arrival, as described inStar Wars: Dawn of the Jedi 0, to theyearBTC 32,800 of thecalendar based on the date of the signing of theTreaty of Coruscant. Since the difference between that calendar and theGalactic Standard Calendar—based on the date of theBattle of Yavin—was 3,653 years per the reasoninghere, the Tho Yor Arrival must have taken place in the year 36,453 BBY of the latter dating system. Therefore, the difference between the Galactic Standard Calendar and the dating system based on the Tho Yor Arrival that is featured inDawn of the Jedi: Into the Void must be 36,453 years. - ↑Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia places theTreaty of Coruscant, which served as the zero point of acalendar adopted by theGalactic Senate following the conclusion of theGreat Galactic War per Galactic History onThe Old Republic'sofficial website(article) (backup link), in theyear3653 BBY of theGalactic Standard Calendar, which was based around the date of theBattle of Yavin. Thus, the difference between the two dating systems is 3,653 years.
- ↑The New Essential Chronology establishes that the zero point of thecalendar introduced byTarsus Valorum was theRuusan Reformation. The book places that event in theyear of1000 BBY of theGalactic Standard Calendar—which was based around the date of theBattle of Yavin—therefore establishing a difference ofone thousand years between the two dating systems.
- ↑Per the reasoninghere, theBattle of Yavin, the zero point in theGalactic Standard Calendar perThe New Essential Chronology, can be placed in 35:3:8 under theGreat ReSynchronization dating system, thereby confirming the placement of the division between each Galactic Standard Calendaryear as the thirdmonth in the Great ReSynchronization year. Thus, there is a two-month, seven day gap between the two dating systems, with the first two months of a GrS year being the last two of the preceding Galactic Standard Calendar year, and there is a total difference of 35 years and 2 months between the two systems.
