New Jedi Order Calendar

Here

The time between each story is correct, but the only part I wasn't sure of was when VP takes place. I feel that Month 4 was the best choice. And the times of the unreleased novels are just guesses.

You calender is flawed. Chewbacca goes after Dark Tide, and there are several other minor quibbles I'll go over later.

 

wild_karrde what is Emissary of the Void?

 

It's a serial novel by Greg Keyes appearing in Gamer #8-13

 

There are a few mistakes in the calendar I'd like to help you fix.

First, VP has to take place in the 9th month, in order to compensate for Rebirth, which is set while Jacen and Jaina are 18 (they're birthday is the 5th month).

- VP is the 10th month
- Onslaught is 2 months later
- Ruin is 3 months later
- Chewbacca and Hero's Trial are 1 month later
- Jedi Eclipse is 2 months later
- Balance Point is 2 months later
- Recovery, COnquest Prologue and Emissary to the Void are all the same month as BP
- Conquest is 2 months later
- Rebirth is 4 months later
- Star By Star is 4 months later
- DJ and part of RS are the same month as SxS.

 

Also, Ive heard Traitor may be in the same month aswell.

 

Note you need to make 2 calenders, dan wallace said in another thread, that two calenders are used in the GFFA. Both a 12 month calender, one used or created by zahn I might add, and used by most authors, including dan it seemed. As well as the 10 month calender that is talked about in sourcebooks but little used in the novels by authors(because the math is too confusing).

 

Although it seems it is used by NJO authors, because Balance Point is not only 10 months after VP, but also one year after it.

 

I wonder how the Hutt calander is based, since they only got 8 fingers.

 

Note, and remember that corran called for a 7 day week if I recall correctly? That is part of the 12 month system.

It both calenders seemed to be interchanged on whim, some characters prefering one over the other.

 

- VP is the 10th month (Month 10, Yr. 25)
- Onslaught is 2 months later (Month 2, Yr. 26)
- Ruin is 3 months later (Month 5, Yr. 26)
- Chewbacca and Hero's Trial are 1 month later (Month 6, Yr. 26)
- Jedi Eclipse is 2 months later (Month 8, Yr. 26)
- Balance Point is 2 months later (Month 10, Yr. 26)
- Recovery, COnquest Prologue and Emissary to the Void are all the same month as BP (Month 10, Yr 26)
- Conquest is 2 months later (Month 2, Yr. 27)
- Rebirth is 4 months later (Month 6, Yr 27)
- Star By Star is 4 months later (Month 10, Yr 27)
- DJ and part of RS are the same month as SxS. (Month 10, Yr 27)

hmm, i'll look into it

EDIT: SxS takes place over a month or so, so I'll put DJ a month later

EDIT2: there, now how's it look?

Looks good.


I thought the Enemy Lines duology and Traitor take place concurrently?

 

Won't know for sure until they come out ...

Yet official timelines, like the one at the Dark Horse website, disagree. Based on Han's emotions, it should be after DT, but it's not official, so it doesn't.

Note you need to make 2 calenders, dan wallace said in another thread, that two calenders are used in the GFFA.

There's only one basic one, according to TOS. That's the 10-month one. I'm pretty sure than Dan just said that it should have been replaced with a 12-month one from the beginning, since it confuses things.

There is countless amounts of different dating systems in use in the GFFA. If someone is making a timeline of when the books happen, they should use the 10-month Galactic Standard calender, based on Coruscant timekeeping.

Note, and remember that corran called for a 7 day week if I recall correctly? That is part of the 12 month system.

Or Corran was simply mistaken. I'd need to see the passage again and see.
