20 BBY/Legends

20 before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) was a year. During that period of time, the Clone Wars raged on between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems. Around 20 BBY, the CIS began to construct their superweapon over the planet Geonosis. This year was known as Year 980 after the Ruusan Reformation and Year 3,633 after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant.
