Exodus Timeline Map[]

EG Current Map

Map of the Exodus galaxy as of 18 ABY.

Exodus Timeline[]

The Exodus Timeline is the core of our roleplaying. Taken directly from the continuity established by us on the pre-game Star Wars Galaxies roleplaying boards, the Exodus Timeline is where a majority of the action lies. While the Exodus Timeline is not the only timeline in our community one can partake in, it is the most prominent.

The Exodus Timeline is an alternate universe of Star Wars, with most differences occurring after the Battle of Endor.

NOTE: When calculating your character's age, don't forget that 0 BBY/ABY counts as a year. For example: a character born in 0 BBY/ABY would be 15 by 14 ABY.
