Fanclub The One Canon - the Legends Defence Force - From Endor to Jakku - Legends friendly timeline is up!

The One Canon - the Legends Defence Force, bastion of the EUC

Welcome to the LDF, compatriot. We know your story well, for it is our own, but let us tell it a different way.

Yes, our story starts with a betrayal, the loss of the legends we considered truth, the revelation that what was once canon was now apocrypha, but it does not meander into a war of vengeance, an ugly tirade against a decision, which isolates us from the future, but fortifications, as the new histories are uncovered and reveal not a complete renewal but ramparts constructed upon what we know, with vagaries sufficient to allow for harmonious entreaties between old and new, known and unknown.

This is the One Canon, dedicated to giving birth to a Unified Continuity.

The belief that, with enough optimism, enough ingenuity, that what has gone by can be renewed, interwoven with the new to form a creation stronger than the sum of its parts.

Let us, the Expanded Universe Community, fill its ranks with our hopes, awakened anew!

Rules of the Thread:

1. This is not a Haters or Bashers Fan Club. Offensive statements about our pool of authors or the new Story Group will not be allowed.

2. This is not a haters group. This is reiterated so understanding is given.

3. The group will have a discussion based format. If a continuity issue arises that can bear discussion, it will be added to the Mission Pool.

4. The One Canon will be subject to the theory that Retroactive Continuity (Retcon, for short), will resolve the issue. Such a retcon can be applied to old and new, as the new canon will undoubtedly have teething problems.

5. Ranks will be given out, forming a military hierarchy determined by the Supreme Commander in due course. Any one interested in an administrative role is welcome to PM me.

6. The group will run games in the RPF on the basis of the One Canon agreed within these walls, and sponsor One Canon friendly fan-fiction in the relative areas of the boards.

Welcome to the LDF, may the Force be with you, always!

If anyone wants a sneak peak of my first entry into One Canon, you may look no further than below, spoilers for A Grand Solution, a short entry set in 4.5 ABY.

Spoiler

Lips pursed in musing, the Grand Vizier pushed off his staff to peer down from the height of the tower, his horns touching the transparisteel; he was unable to identify the source of the tumult, in either case, and then absently lamented his late masters preponderance for two of anything in respect of the said battle station, now so much broken debris, six months ago, and continued the train of thought to think to himself that, with matters being what they were, the former title of this building would probably be reclaimed by the Rebels.

Vague but fun, one hopes.

Welcome to the thread, my friend.

I am putting the final touches to the first of my short stories designed to gel with all continuities, which will reference the first three new post Endor entries - Balance of Power, Shattered Empire and Aftermath.

A Grand Solution shall appear within the fortnight!

I actually think, as an aside, TFA will not especially contradict Legends, but we shall see.

Actually, the Yuuzhan Vong War is not too difficult to deal with.

A few thoughts:

1. Chewbacca survives Sernpidal. I would refer to how Malachor V had a functioning atmosphere after being broken, under similar situations, and also by a gravity based weapon.

2. Jacen and Jaina are off in the Unknown Regions. Fundamentally Jacen is busy with his travels and Jaina is meeting up with Jagged, which works as well as Mara being off screen for three years of YJK novels.

3. Pellaeon's retirement. We don't actually know when Pellaeon retired as Imperial Head of State. He was definitely not in charge of the Empire by 36 ABY, but we can easily shuffle it even further back.

4. The New Republic is an acceptable reference for the Alliance. This is going to be somewhat necessary I would say.

But fundamentally it is largely off screen and not relevant I would argue.

You know I'm here, this is where my heart lives and sadly due to the new 'legends' title, it died. I honestly thought the whole Yuuzhan Vong series could have been condensed into three movies, three that would have been epically brilliant and powerful.

 

Adalia; I still consider that it all happened, but it will require effort to consolidate. The Clone Wars was shuffled around to accommodate the TV show for example. Really the only thing that we will struggle with are births and deaths. The new canon will show the actual departure.

Tech; I have been dwelling on that. I wonder if certain batches have the chips and some have not. Maybe it's a fail-safe only for some.

Bump! Who wants to see a timeline merging it all?

Let's start off with Part 1, from Endor to Jakku. The premise being; everything that took place from Endor to the end of X-wing 3: The Krytos Trap, took place not over three years, but one.

Immediately after Endor - Truce at Bakura

Following weeks - Post-Endor issues of Nagai-Tof War until Zeltros, First Battle of Naboo a month after Endor, the Iron Blockade occurs, Operation Cinder hastens the fall of the Empire dramatically (Marvel 100 onwards, the Uprising game, Shattered Empire)

3 months after Endor - Battle of Akiva, Battle of Kashyyyk starts with a smuggler assault (Aftermath 1 and maybe 2)

5 months after Endor - Battle of Saijo of the Nagai-Tof War, Battle of Brentaal, blockade of Chandrila begins (end of Marvel comics, X-wing comics beginning)

Between 5 and 9 months after Endor - the Battles of Hast, Cuitric and the Iceheart coup occur, with this period capped off by the Battle of Tantive crippling Drommel. Warlord Zsinj's profile raises considerably during this time and several lesser warlords are defeated by the New Republic, and the Grand Moff counter-coup begins (X-wing comics end, Glove of Darth Vader series)

10 months after Endor - the Moff coup is ended by the heroes of Yavin, and the fall of Corellia to the Empire occurs after Pitta and Grunger annihilate each other, the arc ending with the Battle of Mindor, shortly before the Battle of Borleias (Misc, X-wing novel 1)

Nearly a year after Endor - Battle of Coruscant, the Imperial fleet marshals elsewhere for an assault from Jakku, the third battle of Naboo takes place (X-wing novel 2, Lost Stars)

A year after Endor - the Battle of Jakku takes place as Coruscant fighting continues, the Krytos Trap is unveiled, while unrepentant Imperials flee to the Unknown Regions and found the First Order when the Galactic Concordance is signed on Coruscant, the fall of which causes much of the Core to abandon the Empire. The Empire of the Hand and Deep Core Warlords do not sign, nor do the other warlord States, pre-eminent among them being the empire of Zsinj, ruling a third of the galaxy. The Imperial capital moves to Orinda. (X-wing 3, Visual Dictionary, Battlefront, likely Aftermath 3)

You make that work out so nicely!

 

That's part 1! Part 2 is from the Battle of Jakku to the Napkin Bombings.

It is fairly tidy once you realise the war against the old Empire more or less died down once Coruscant falls, but the battle for Coruscant was strictly speaking still on until the end of Krytos Trap finishes.

Doesn't it just!

It looks even better on my bookcase in this order!
