  |#default = {{TORweb|url=community/showthread.php?p=5365704|text=STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3}} places ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' about ten to twelve [[Standard year/Legends|years]] after the signing of the [[Treaty of Coruscant]], which is dated to [[3653 BBY]] by ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia]]''. ''[[The Old Republic—The Lost Suns 2]]'' takes place ten years after the treaty, one [[Standard week/Legends|week]] after the [[Mission to Nar Shaddaa (Desolator crisis)|mission to Nar Shaddaa]], and around the [[Time/Legends|time]] of the [[SpecForce Incident]]. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the [[Hero of Tython|Jedi Knight]] and [[Meteor (Havoc Squad)|Republic Trooper]]'s storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the [[Voidhound|Smuggler]] storyline, the general events of Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY.

The Prologue for each class immediately precedes Act I, and ''The Old Republic Encyclopedia'' places the [[Battle of Ilum]] at the end of Act III in 3640 BBY. Assuming that [[in-universe]] chronology of the ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' events roughly aligns with the release of story content in real-life as with {{TORweb|url=community/showthread.php?p=9852711#edit9852711|text=Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In?}}, the Act III Epilogue must take place near the end of 3640 [[Galactic Standard Calendar|BBY]] since it was the chronologically latest story of the ''The Old Republic'' base [[Video game|game]], which was released toward the end of [[2011]]. Therefore, assuming that ''The Old Republic'' takes place over the course of three years per the former of the two aforementioned [https://swtor.com swtor.com] posts, Act I takes place near the end of 3643 BBY.
