TIMELINE

**THE AU BEGINS IN 5ABY**

*[PHASE ONE - THE STORM: Various powerful electrical storms pop up all throughout the galaxy following the demise of Darth Vader and Darth Sidious. The largest of these storms hangs over Bektova, a small planet located in the mid rim. Those on its surface are effectively trapped, and any flying vessel is forced to land due to the deadly lightning. Strange crystalline deposits are found at the source of each lightning strike, but oxidize in the showers soon after. Large amounts of rain cause viscous floods in some areas of Bektova, and the water produced appears to be incredibly hazardous.]*

* All inhabitants of Bektova, either willingly or not, are forced to hunker down and wait out the storms. Many come across strange crystals, and some even seek out these deposits as the weather continues to rage on.
* A planetary lockdown is issued by the rebel base located in the Karvoir wastes, advising everyone to stay indoors and out of the rain.
* The storms continue for three long months.

*[PHASE TWO - THE PLAGUE: As the storms begin to disperse, a new threat arises. A strange new waterborne strain of the Blue Shadow Virus — a deadly disease thought to be eradicated — has begun to infect several individuals who came in contact with the flood water. The only known cure used in the previous outbreak was Reeksa Root, but due to only a very few having access to the root from markets, a cure is inaccessible. Fortunately, the mineral deposits from the storm seem to relieve the virus’s symptoms when ground into power and brewed with tea or otherwise boiled. This disease takes a mere 48-hours to become fatal. The raging storms have settled somewhat, but a few lingering strands continue to brew.]*

* Transmissions, even through the thick of the storms, are still a very reliable method of communication. As news spreads of a sickness, the planetary lockdown is enforced once again.
* As the infection rate of the BSV skyrockets, more and more information becomes apparent. After a few hours, the affected suffer from weakness, and their eyes appear sunken. Over time, blue veins become apparent on the victim’s face, growing more and more pronounced as the affected’s condition worsens. After 48-hours, the victim’s breath progressively deteriorates and after the period is up the affected’s lungs cease to function due to muscle weakness and decay.
* After a week of loss and sickness, word spreads of the mineral’s supposed healing properties. The virus begins to thin out as more and more individuals pull through with the aid of the crystals.
* The lockdown persists for almost three extra months after — totaling at six months of being stranded on Bektova. Things seem to look up though as the plague finally seems to disappear — unfortunately this does not last long.

*[PHASE THREE - THE CHAOS LEGION: With the storms and now virus gone, those on Bektova are alerted of a chilling new threat — the Chaos Legion.The large army of unknown size has begun to wreak havoc across the galaxy. Seemingly led by a threat independent of the larger powers that have come before it, it seeks to conquer the planets within its sector of origin and enforce a new ruling. Soldiers of the army sweep across the land, engaging any persons they deem threats. Not much is known yet about the origins of this legion, but one this is certain — they wish to take over Bektova.]*

* All of those with communication devices receive a message from the Chaos Legion, alerting them that their “planet, resources, and lives belong to the legion.” Any resistance is said to be met with extreme and lethal force.
* Almost immediately, the Karvoir Wastes rebel base leap into action in a desperate attempt to ward off the attackers. Unfortunately, they are severely outnumbered and are almost completely obliterated by an EMP.
* With little choice, they work together and come up with a plan to escape Bektova — fortunately it is a success and the rebels, along with a few civilians, flee the planet.
* The survivors regroup on a heavily populated rebel base surrounding the planet Haven. This group forms what is known as the Bektova Rebels, and many go on to join the Phoenix Squadron and Hunter Squadron.
* As the chaos legion rises in power, a new galactic war erupts. The elite team of rebels are dispatched to several missions and are often successful. A few new cells join the fight along the way, the most notable being the Constellation Crew and Aras’s Crew.
* The focus now is to fight the Chaos Legion, and win — by any means necessary.
* Several events take place during this phase: the Kashyyyk mission, the Possession arc, The Haven celebration, and the Talbec campaign.

**CURRENT:** *[PHASE FOUR - THE OBELISK: A mysterious group has come to the aid of the rebels...]*

* As senators begin to disappear, the rebels are sent to investigate on Coruscant.
