18 BBY

The following events took place in the year 18 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas also known as 3259 LY according to the Lothal Calendar, 1 AFE in the Imperial calendar, and roughly year 7959 in the C.R.C. calendar, although there was overlap between 19 BBY and 18 BBY in C.R.C dating. 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:
