Before the Saga Index

These chronological groupings have been made as self-maintained indexes to help people find stories in which they are interested. Authors are invited to enter information on their in-progress stories (updated or after 10/1/2002, but not completed).

This thread is for stories Before the Saga, including all stories which take place before the opening of The Phantom Menace (or, in the case of an alternate universe in which those events will not occur, a story which takes place before The Phantom Menace would have taken place). This would include ancient SW history, tales of Palpatine's training, young Qui-Gon, all Jedi Apprentice era stories, etc.

Stories in other eras would be placed in the following threads:

The Saga includes all stories which take place between The Phantom Menace and Return of the Jedi (or the times at which these stories would take place).

Beyond the Saga includes all stories which take place after Return of the Jedi (or after Return of the Jedi would have taken place).
