What, Star Wars: The Essential Atlas creeps ever closer, and no one has anything to say about it? I'm shocked.
I have something to say! New blog entry here.

Really looking forward to this book. I can be a real geek for maps sometimes, and it'll be nice to see such a definitive represntation of the GFFA.

Hi Dan.
Have you got a moment to have a look at a continuity problem? In Making a Full Recovery that you co-wrote with Craig R. Carey and Jason Fry, there's an entry on Eelysa.
It says Eelysa was born "after the Emperor's apparent demise aboard the second Death Star", so 4 ABY at the earliest.
It says that "It was the perceptive Eelysa who first sensed Master Skywalker's unease when he suffered the impact of a vision received during the mass murders caused by Kueller, some seventeen years before the Yuuzhan Vong thrust into the galaxy." However, The New Rebellion was actually about 8 years before their invasion (17 ABY).
I think based on this timeline placement, the article says "In the dozen or so years she operated in this capacity on behalf of the Jedi, NRI estimates that she went on perhaps five missions." If TNR had been 17 years before the invasion, there would have been plenty of time for her to graduate and spend 12 years on missions. However, when only 8 years has passed, there is not, especially considering she dies 26 ABY. This would mean she started missions before she joined in TRN, and while she was at best 10 or 11 years old.
Any suggestions as to how to re-interpret this so that it works? Does the "dozen or so years" get reduced to less than 8?

Eyrezer, sorry for not picking up on this earlier. I think the definitive references to the Emperor's death and Kueller's activities imply we should treat those as real, so let's assume Eelysa was born 4 ABY and was thirteen during the Kueller incident (17 ABY). Charitably assuming she started on NRI missions when she was fourteen, that gives her seven years to run missions until the Yuuzhan Vong invasion (25 ABY).
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's definitely a contradiction here (sorry!) and that the "dozen years" reference is the most flexible part of the contradiction for retconning.
