19 BBY

The following events took place in the year 19 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas also known as 3258 LY according to the Lothal Calendar and year 7958 in the C.R.C. calendar. In C.R.C dating, 19 BBY events could also occur within the year 7959. dates Clem Andor's death to 7959 C.R.C. Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious dates the secret mission to Tatooine to 7977 C.R.C., which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 BBY, therefore it can be concluded that 7977 C.R.C. is equivalent to 0 BBY, and 7959 C.R.C. is equivalent to 18 BBY if the calendars are one-to-one. However, the reference book Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide later established the events surrounding Andor's death occurred in 19 BBY. Indeed, Pablo Hidalgo has stated that the C.R.C and BBY calendars are not one to one here:

*Invasion of UtapauStar Wars: Galactic Atlas establishes that the mission to Utapau and the Battle of Utapau took place in 19 BBY. As "A Death on Utapau" establishes that Utapau was not under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the mission, while Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith depicts the planet under CIS occupation by the battle, the invasion of Utapau must have occurred between the two events. Therefore, the invasion also took place in 19 BBY.
