    Legends one:

    Ackbar wasn't dying from old age, he was poisoned with the same nanotechnology (though much more advanced and slower acting) that eventually claimed Mon Mothma's life. If someone had let Cilghal near him or if she'd bothered to check her uncle's condition properly and not like everyone else put it down to old age, Ackbar would still be alive and likely pulled Sovv's ear out for his plans that eventually led to the collapse of Operation Trinity and losing the Duros.

    Nein friggin Nunb, co-pilot who flew the Falcon through a Death Star, isn’t even a squad leader?

    [​IMG]

    Besides, the film shows him and a human pilot checking in as Red and Blue Leaders as they drop out of hyperspace. I’m saying that Flight Journal is wrong (and it’s my head canon anyway!).

    Shortly after the Battle of Jakku, Chief Chirpa is troubled by the large number of Ewoks leaving Endor to see the galaxy (becoming slicers, therapy Ewoks, etc) and cuts off relations with the New Republic in hopes of preserving Ewok culture and their spiritual connection to the trees. The NR honors Chirpa's wishes by removing NR assets from the moon and re-establishing its designation as a Sanctuary Moon, marking it as an off-limits nature preserve and ultimately allowing life on the Endor moon to resume its natural course. This backstory allows the Ewok TV movies to comfortably occur in canon (or at least my headcanon) at around 7 or 8 ABY.

    The Inquisitor Vialco secretly learned Palpatine's Essence Transfer technique and managed to survive his death on Trulalis. After exploring exotic Force Lore for decades, he discovered Abeloth's planet in the Maw. Drinking from the Font of Power and bathing in the Pool of Knowledge gave him the power of the Ones. Now immortal, Vialco rebuilt the Prophets of the Dark Side from scratch on Dromund Kaas. The New Prophets had but one goal in mind. Using their considerable talents of foresight to acquire Force Lore and Artifacts, the Prophets became a neutral group of Force-Wielders who would aid any lone Force-user, for the right price.

    Here's my utterly ridiculous headcanon that I can't let go of.

    Abeloth is Kreia.

    She was resurrected by the Father in order to apply her balance ideas to his family (who are just personifications anyway)

    Kreia, unsurprisingly, was the worst mother ever.

    I could see her being one of her vessels (it would explain how she has pure black or white eyes in some depictions ) but not abeloth herself especially with the revelations from supernatural encounters but I digress

    The Old Republic traces its heritage back to the Zhell of Notron, and the Empire's COMPNOR furthered this in their propaganda in a similar style as Nazi Germany's Aryan myth.

    Re-watching the original Clone Wars cartoon and developed this:

    c. 1 month after the Battle of Geonosis...
    - Events of Chapter 1 - 21
    c. 2 1/2 months to 30 months after the Battle of Geonosis...
    - Clone Wars TV series (2009), unfinished reels, Dark Disciple, Son of Dathomir
    c. 30 months to 36 months after...
    - Events of Chapter 22 - 25, Kanan #7 - #11, Siege of Mandalore (with Nelvaan occurring before this arc, Coruscant is just simultaneous to Mandalore instead)

    I like the original Clone Wars and with certain liberties it can be canon again, so it is there in my headcanon.

    TCW never interfered with the old CW cartoon as the above method of reconciliation was always visibly possible. Perhaps it was even intended to be so, as for example, in the TCW movie Ventress is presumed to be known beforehand by the audience, supposedly from CW, and also her fate is not revealed there, which fits with Dark Disciple. I think the most severe contradictions (which were seen from the beginning) were with Dreadnaughts of Rendili and Obsession.

    Anakin, contrary to Jedi doctrine on the subject, could lowkey feel that all droids were alive in the Force on their own wavelength.

    This is why he had a particular obsession with resurrection, explicitly drew a comparison between it and "fixing things" (which he'd done successfully many times) and a Clone War in which he (and all his Jedi buddies) endlessly carved up battle droids wasn't too great for his state of mind.

    If you didn't know...

    Droids having "souls"/being present in the Force was just confirmed in Supernatural Encounters, though I feel like it's at least been implied before, but I can't recall where.

    There were 20,000 Wookiee slaves on the Second Death Star. They were constantly sabotaging the project due to Jerjerrod's unwillingness to engage in wholesale murder and torture to motivate them. Their efforts managed to delay the Battle of Endor by three or four months, which allowed the Rebel Fleet to be large enough to repulse the Imperial one after the Emperor's battle meditation was defeated.

    Vader, unfortunately, got them under "control." They did, however, try to revolt with full knowledge it would get them all killed during the battle. They all died in the destruction of the device, collateral damage of the war due to no possible way to rescue them.

    They are mourned on Kashkyyk as heroes.

    - Sheev's experience with Cosinga lead him to think that nobody is ever truly your friend and that you can never count on anyone to help you out. This is why he thought Luke's "faith in his friends" was a "weakness" and why he didn't expect Vader to sacrifice himself.

    - Those who didn't know the truth about Palpatine thought he was heartbroken and had turned to a life of public service in response.

    May as well just throw this out here as my head canon.

    The Before Times

    Humanity was the first creation of the Maker and the Celestials, but the world was lost to the Father of Shadows, with the Celestials instead creating the eighty Firstborn races in the successor universe - a galaxy and eight satellite galaxies in all. When Tilotny seeded the Galaxy with humanity, the two species which headed to Firefist became the Nagai and Tofs.

    The Father of Shadows remained a silent but ever present influence upon the future of the Galaxy, isolated in the space outside the galaxies, quietly whispering to the Architects.

    The Cosmic Wars

    The Cosmic Wars began in 200,000 BBY with the human invasion of Notron, which saw the diaspora spread by the Architects come into sharp focus against the Firstborn and their various successor species, specifically against Alashan. The Firstborn were slowly but surely corrupted by fear and war, with several joining the Architects such as the Kwoth, and joined by the Abominor. The war reached a new stage when the Old Ones were unleashed, and Tilotny was driven from Otherspace to the Deep Core.

    The Basiliskans, Stenax, Ssi-Ruuvi, Vagaari, Hutts, and so forth invaded the Galaxy wholesale from various wormholes and gates, opposed by the Firstborn and Silentium. Gorog's armies were decimated by Typhojem. The Empyrean Wars came to an end when the Celestials abandoned the Galaxy, taking various Firstborn with them, though not before Wutzek defeated the Architects.

    The subsequent War of the Temporal Planes began when Typhojem sought to cross the cosmos, with the Kwa preparing a secret resistance with the aid of the Seoulorians, resulting in the destruction of the latter, a violent battle on Coruscant which saw Typhojem’s allies defeated, and the war was ended by Horliss-Horliss.

    Circa 100,000 BBY the Celestials had defeated the Old Ones, several of which had themselves risen to power following conflict between the Bedlam Spirits, otherwise known as the Architects - three of the four, anyway, with Horliss-Horliss assisting to end the war and his nieces and nephews. The surviving Old Ones are locked in Otherspace, with their lesser servants trapped in Monoliths such as the one in the Chiloon Rift. Their vassal species, including the Ssi-Ruuvi, Sith, Vagaari, other Unknown Terrors, the Taung when they fell to war, and so forth were trapped in Hyperspace sinkholes such as the Cloak or the Caldera, or conceal themselves by feigning or embracing primitivism, as the Cthol and Sharu, or isolation, such as the Siniteen. The Knell and Kanzer Exiles in the next seventy millennia formed the Sorcerers of Rhand with a fallen Taung sisterhood known as the Warriors of the Shadow.

    Yun-Yammka is a stand-in for the original Father of Shadows - who corrupted the Chazrach species in the ancient times to create the first machine armies, and subsequently the Kanzer Exiles before they devolved into the Chazrach. The Yuuzhan Vong pantheon is originally devolved from Yuuzhan, then the Universe, then the family of successor God’s, before they turn to worship Yammka.

    Gree, Killiks and Kwa rise up in place as the vassal species of the Ones, the war having an epilogue ending with the imprisonment of Abeloth, a successor of the Old Ones who infiltrated the family of the Ones and sought their power.

    The Original Protectors, the Twilight Wars, or; the ‘True Sith War’

    The Killiks address the Jedi as the Protectors, who stood in opposition to the Destructors in Keshiri lore, the name which caused Abeloth to briefly pay far too much attention to the Sith regaling the tale. The original Protectors were a group of Force users that worked with the Ones to contain Abeloth and the Old Ones, before their destruction circa 36,500 BBY, probably at her hands. Thereafter the Ones collected the Force users of the galaxy and created the Je’daii Order on Tython to prepare for the next phase of conflict.

    Initially the Gree and Kwa warring would periodically release Abeloth, likely in alliance with the Son and Daughter respectively, but the Kwa elevating the Rakata caused an issue the Old Ones could manipulate via intermediaries. Gorog via the Killiks, Abeloth herself and Typhojem's seeming successors, the Sith species, collaborate to bring down the realm of the Ones. The original despoiled world of the Father of Shadows has been drawn into Otherspace by Gorog, with a view to terraforming it anew - an effort which drew the Old Ones into conflict with the Celestials again.

    The Rakata pursue the Kwa across the galaxy to Dathomir - where the Daughter and Son confront Abeloth and lock her away circa 30,000 BBY. They had used their technology to create the hyperspace barrier that cut off 15% of the Galactic disc, trapping Mnggal-Mnggal there but they subsequently removed the Killiks to Reo, and equally deposited the Killik Sith on Sarafur. Various Killik nests are abandoned on Alderaan, some aligned with the Ones, led by a Dawn Herald, and some aligned by the Old Ones, led by a Night Herald. The wars end is generally considered to be when Wutzek destroyed the Old Ones, but his capture results in the Rakata having free rein after 30,000 BBY, and the Ones remain secluded as their balance is lost.

    The Gree stand against the Rakata as Old One cultists attempt to dominate the Unknown Regions with the Eternal Fleet - destroying themselves when the Machine God’s are unleashed upon Iokath and Zakuul. Zildrog manipulates events to drive his mechanical family into stasis, and conceals his mind on Nathema, sinking it’s body into the swamps of Zakuul. Vitiate later exploits that connection to find the Eternal Fleet. The Zakuul Pantheon - parents birthing four, with a seventh hidden God, echoes the Yuuzhan Vong Pantheon and thus the Father of Shadows - two Architect parents - four Old Ones hierarchy.

    The Rakata drive the Gree back to their star cluster, but by 28,000 BBY are beginning to run short of worlds to prey upon, especially against Celestial defences, but they do generally emerge triumphant against those who had allied with them during the Twilight Wars for the first two millennia - the Esh-Ka, the World Razer, and so forth. They discover Korriban after this period, and are bruised by the war with Adas and then Soa.

    Adas and Soa

    When the Rakata come to Korriban in 27,700 BBY, Adas recruits Soa, who leads the civil war against the Rakata - but in true master and apprentice manner, Soa kills Adas with the aid of the Sith eventually known as the Infernal Council. The subsequent civil war defoliates Korriban, but just as Soa wars across the Outer Rim towards Belsavis, intending to release the World Razer, the Sith spread to Ziost, Tund and Malachor, among other world’s, using their magicks to ensure their systems cannot he found by Hounds.

    The Rakata defeat Soa, but Korriban is a wasteland and they see no need to occupy it. The First Sith Kingdom spends the next 21,000 years in perpetual civil war, with a brief resurgence in 14,000 BBY which sees them spread further in the Caldera, appealing interchangeably to Typhojem and the Father of Shadows, not understanding that Typhojem claimed the latter title as the second owner of it.

    Adas for his part comes to settle on Onderon, his spirit attached to a tome with guidance on how to recreate his armour, which he may then attach himself to and possess - as he does with Warb Null and Malleus.

    The Rakata rule is eventually disrupted by the Je’daii, who begin the civil war that eventually destroyed the empire entire, even as they are distracted by the Force Wars the Rakata trigger in the Tython system.

    Xim, the Sith and the Alsakani

    Xim connects with the Sith legacy via the Rakata, becoming the first recorded Darth. The Hutts destroy said regime but the Sith within the Tion Cluster nonetheless continue to have an influence on the Cluster until the Tionese War. During their conquest of Alsakan, their influence infiltrated the Alsakani, and eventually their nobility. After the Tionese War the nobles secretly plumb the depths of Sith history and they reconnect with the legends of the Killik Sith, attempting to seize control of the Republic periodically.

    The First Great Schism

    The battles between the Jedi and Dark Jedi over the Soulsaber take place in this era, as the only major conflict between the two factions that predates 20,000 years.

    Xendor may have been a secret Old One/Architect cultist, but is more likely that than a traditional Sith. His Legion included the Way of the Dark, which was practised by the Sorcerers of Rhand, making the conflict the first strike by the Old Ones against the Jedi and Republic.

    Pius Dea

    While the Alsakani Sith become less and less successful as time drags on, and after six thousand years of failure, a cult called Pius Dea, which worships the Vain Goddess, and, thus, unknowingly, Abeloth as the inheritor of the legacy of Onrai, Tilotny and Vahl, seizes control of the Republic and wages war against the Hutts, then other alien species, and eventually the Republic itself.

    The Alsakani turn on the Pius Dea as their ability to steer events is lost, especially when the Jedi recused themselves. The Sixth Conflict is a bloodbath but Alsakan and its holdings manage to secede, and protect the Sith species from Republic genocide. Eventually the Hutts, Jedi, and Alsakani work together to defeat the Pius Dea after a millennium long descent from government to madness in the Seventh Conflict.

    The last Jedi who aligned with the Pius Dea access the realm of the Old Ones under Rur, and are eventually destroyed by the Jedi Order, though not without part of the Order being corrupted and exiled as the Jedi Vindicators. The Pius Dea cult nonetheless remains in hiding within the Republic, eventually influencing its cult to head to the Kanz Sector and secede from the Republic circa 3970 BBY.

    S(ith)-Canon Aside

    The first and sole Jedi that became the first ‘Dark Lord of the Sith’ from the TotJ compendium to suppress Korriban was Ku’ar Danar of S-Canon lore, who sent back his Jedi companions to the Republic; said Dark Jedi form the nucleus of the Second Schism, while Danar kills himself during his experiments on Nilbremah. His spirit becomes fixed to a stone monolith, but he masters Force Phantom and is rumoured to be one of Naga Sadow’s masters, and may even have been Dathka Graush’s master. Danar’s ritual becomes the basis of the Ambria/Nathema/Thought Bomb rituals. Qel-Droma raids Danar’s tomb shortly after the Battle of Feorest and Danar himself is brought forward into the Galactic Civil War era by a Hyperspace accident, where he achieves very little as a disembodied Sith spirit. Mindor for me is Nilbremah due to some similarities in terms of the living rocks, and it’s destruction by Palpatine undoes Danar - and leaves a Sith legacy for Cronal to seize. This may tie into Bataal Bandu and the carbonite Sith, as an alternate Sith legacy in opposition to Sidious which he lazily erases as much as he destroys Xendor’s apprentice, Arden Lyn.

    The Exiled Sith War

    After the Hundred Years Darkness the borders of the Republic fall back to the Core in the North and Slice thanks to Coruscant and Alsakan’s relentless skirmishing during the war with the Dark Jedi; both eventually lose out. The Hutts fill the void in territory, as much a result of the Taung crusading from Roon to Mandalore across the former Mid Rim cuts into Republic holdings. Dathka Graush was poised to invade the Republic and deal a crippling blow to the Republic halfway through the Darkness, having spent the first half raiding the Perlemian world’s and building a stronghold at Naos - but the Dark Jedi kill him and from the encounter discover how to plumb the dark depths and create Leviathans, but fundamentally lose the Hundred Years Darkness anyway.

    A year after the Battle of Corbos, Tulak Hord, Dreypa, Xoxaan, Muur and Syn head back into Republic space to Balmorra, Syngia, Ambria, Taris and Sigil respectively. Hord betrays Dreypa to the Jedi, and he crashes on Kesh, insofar as much as Xoxaan destroys Ambria with her failed experiments. Muur is betrayed and the Talisman lost on Taris, and Syn is similarly killed by the Jedi - her base pointed out by Hord - and her apprentice flees to Malachor III. The Sith Academy sends Sith to assist Hord in his campaigns at Yn and Chabosh, which themselves are feints to draw the Jedi apart, but Pall and his government do not acknowledge the Exile’s Empire - none too dissimilar to the situation with the Chiss and Empire of the Hand; in that it was common knowledge that Sith left and joined Hord but not with Pall’s approval.

    Pall, Broodica, Vacuus, Pharshol, Bo Vanda (or Barel-Slathborn), and Ergast remain behind, squabbling and several dying when opening the Wraith Box on Drommund Kaas. Tulak Hord returns to the Empire when Pall dies, taking the title of sole Dark Lord of the Sith. He is shortly after killed by his apprentice and knowledge of the location Kaas is lost, though the world’s the Exiled Sith seized outside the Caldera remain within the Empire’s sphere of influence - Malachor, Sigil, Arkania. His successor, Darth Andeddu, attempts to seize legitimacy by taking the ancient title of Darth, but is driven off Korriban and flees to Prakith. The Empire is in a state of Kaggath until Marka Ragnos takes the throne; thus, Golden Age.

    The Great Hyperspace War

    The War splits the throne between Sadow, Kressh and eventually acting Dark Lord Shar Dakhan - the only Council member left standing. He is among the Sith that bow to Vitiate, and during the exodus the Sith are joined by Kressh’s surviving followers. The slaves of the former House Nidantha take advantage of their freedom to head to Vjun and make their own millennia long plan to infiltrate the Tapani Sector and take their long revenge.

    Vitiate is very likely to be possessed by the original Father of Shadows - with the Old Ones deceased, or trapped in Otherspace, and the Architects undone or confirmed to be trapped, it is his legacy we still face. The Trayus Academy is a beacon to Him specifically.

    The Sith who masterminded the amulets of Ulic and Exar Kun is Marka Ragnos, who foresaw the consequences of his death and planned for it accordingly - but acknowledged that although the First Empire would suffer, it would grow more powerful for it. Which is very true, and it did.

    The Third Great Schism

    Following on Nadd becoming Dark Lord of the Sith in 4,400 BBY, and three Vitiate-aligned Sith at Athiss corrupting Chamma in 4,300 BBY, Dark Jedi under Sith influence Schism from the Jedi Order - the Jedi Path confirms this.

    This is also the only place that Dark Jedi can head to Kathol, mess with the Gate there, and destroy it. This is confirmed by the Jedi Halbret having a chord-less lightsaber. It follows that the Dark Jedi have been guided to interfere with Old One tech, as they similarly headed to Vultar and through their ignorance destroyed the Cosmic Turbine and the star system itself. The Kathol have access to Old One tech insofar as much as the Gree do - but this is not always necessarily Celestial technology they understand.

    It follows that Vitiate subsequently has Revan and Malak connect with Rakata technology rather than Old One technology, which proves dangerous and unpredictable and even, potentially, beyond him in his current state...

    The Second Sith Empire and Mandalore the Unknown

    The Second Sith Empire spends the Restoration under the command of Jorak Uln, who weeds out the factions of the Great Sith War to make the Empire more uniform, likely with the assistance of Darth Sion. They replace Mandalore the Ultimate with a Sith plant, but Vitiate’s herald mentally influences him to start the Mandalorian Wars. The Taung Mandalore withdraws into the shadows, staying out of the Galactic limelight before presenting himself and his clan to Canderous Ordo when he takes the title of Mandalore. Revan and Malak overthrow Uln and seize the throne of the Second Empire, before declaring war.

    ’True Sith’ loose ends

    The First Sith Empire quietly and painstakingly reconquers the world’s within the Caldera that the Republic never reached such as Ziost and Drezzi. The Kanz Sector never joins the Sith Empire, and due to its influence by unknowing Abeloth worshippers Vitiate leaves it be. The Jedi launch an eventual attack here in 3970 BBY during the Great Galactic War as a weak point in the Sith front line.

    After the Galactic Wars

    The reconstituted First Sith Empire continues to exist as a weak confederation of Sith warlords and clans and tribes between 3500 and 2000 BBY in the Northern Dependencies. This includes the Sionists, Cult of Exar Kun, Cult of Darth Phobos, and so forth. A soft Cold War exists, but it is largely a defeated, broken regime, trapped in the Northern Dependencies - as acknowledged by the Atlas confirming that the Republic borders pulled back to Ord Mantell, Ithor and Iridonia.

    There is a brief resurgence around 3100 BBY as the Paecian Empire before the 17th Alsakan Conflict, which collapses circa 2992 BBY. The Paecian Empire intrigues to cause Hapes to secede and Alsakan to restart the last conflict, but is stymied by Corellia ending the civil war so swiftly. Saalo Morn eventually represents the last known Sith to claim the title of Dark Lord, but is too focused on himself to reinvigorate the regime, squandering Sith knowledge.

    The resource problem caused by the Galactic Wars is never truly solved, and eventually the Republic withers as the corporations work access to reduced resources to become more powerful. By 2100 BBY, separatism and the Sith have spread throughout much of the Outer Rim.

    Ruin seizes the throne with his nucleus of fifty Jedi Knights as a powerbase, reunifying the Sith and capturing Ziost and Yavin before he is overthrown and the New Sith Wars commence. The First Sith Empire is thus destroyed by Darth Bane, and the Sith have truly been absent for a millennium - for the first time ever - by the time of TPM - this is on the basis that they were only known to be absent for six hundred years after the Great Hyperspace War, and only three hundred after the Old Sith Wars - the stretch of peace after the Battle of Ruusan is thus sufficiently lengthy to inspire Jedi arrogance.

    The First Grand Design

    The Sith attempted to seize control of the Republic around 500 ABY. Manipulating the creation of the Expansionist Oligarchy and Mandalorian Excision between 750 and 700 BBY, the Sith cause civil unrest as the corporations manipulate the populations of the Inner Rim. Darth Vectivus subsequently mastered such a corporate affair, beside his apprentice Darth Gravid. Vectivus passes the mantle to his apprentice, who continues the Grand Design, beginning the Botor-Dawferim feud to destabilise the Core, manipulate the creation of the Federation of Double Worlds to destabilise the Corellian system in advance of its secession and push’s the admittance of worlds to the Republic which will cause an independent voice to emerge in the Senate, with world’s such as Desevro.

    However, Gravid’s philosophical split between light and dark saw him go mad, and his efforts to end the crisis saw the carefully managed momentum in the Senate turn against their plans; Corellia rejoined the Republic and the corporations were removed from the Inner Rim to the Corporate Sector, which was too far away to create sympathy in the Senate against the corporations. The design is largely repeated on a wide scale, until the corporations are strong enough to lead a secession in 24 BBY.

    Other Baneite legacies

    Mas Amedda was protected from Force sensitivity tests due to the political clout of his family, and was later discovered by Darth Sidious, who trained him in the dark side. Eventually he becomes Darth Wyyrlok I, after he attempts to take the mantle of the One Sith from Krayt and loses the fight, and loses his horn.

    Vergere likely meets Onimi and corrupts him, assisting in his discovery of Force sensitivity and taking him as a Sith candidate. Vergere sees in the invasion the opportunity to take power over the galaxy and also the ability to defeat Darth Sidious. She considers Jacen as much as Onimi, and the final battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War is just as much a decision between the two of them for the future of the galaxy as it was Sidious choosing between Vader and Tyranus on the bridge of the Invisible Hand.

    GCW asides

    The Megador and Dominion are Mandator III-class Star Dreadnaughts, the contribution of the Dark Empire to Harrsk with the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught Avarice, which we see holding Mustafar under X1, and the Vengeance-class Star Dreadnaught Javelin, which rammed a Teradoc-aligned torpedo sphere at Chasin. The Megador and Dominion are damaged, and Harrsk slowly restores them, but does not manage to crew them before he dies.

    The Teradoc twins name two Super Star Destroyers the Lancet and 13x from the contributions that Palpatine Reborn hands them, one of which is an Executor-class and one of which is a Vengeance-class, and the Executor-class is restored by the Second Imperium to fight the Viscount during its maiden voyage in 25 ABY - a last gasp by the Deep Core Imperials during the events of Vector Prime. The other Vengeance-class in their command is the original Vengeance, and recalled to Byss, where it is destroyed. Otherwise the Megador II-class Panthac is deployed by them to seize Coruscant from Delvardus, and destroyed at Alsakan.

    Delvardus, as noted, seizes Metellos with the Executor-class Night Hammer, which is damaged during the Imperial Mutiny, and he also deploys the Executor-class Whelm, lost at Alsakan, and the Mandator III-class Star Dreadnaughts Aculeus and Aurora, which are deployed down the Hydian to Drearia, or held at Ojom, respectively. The Aculeus is lost during the Mutiny to robotic TIE swarms, and the Aurora is recalled to Byss, where it is destroyed. The Aurora is the Dreadnaught that defended Kuat under Rogriss, and faked a jump into the Kuati sun.

    Palpatine on Byss retains the Bellator to defend his interests, as well as the Eclipse, but he nonetheless hands twelve Super Star Destroyers to the Deep Core warlords to give them the necessary boost to invade the Core, with the aid of Death Squadron commanded by Pellaeon and the Reaper from Kaine.

    Legacy of the Force era

    The 1st, 6th and 7th fleets are destroyed at the Battle of Kuat, thus more ships being crippled than active on the displays, and the Megador is damaged in the fighting. The Megador itself was repaired after the battle of Anx Minor and donated to the GA as its contribution under the same defence accords which the Hapans donated the 7th and 8th fleets.

    The 2nd and 3rd Fleets are unable to assist due to having been in play against the Confederation homeworlds after the blockade fails and a week is insufficient to fully prepare, what with Coruscant otherwise solely protected by the Hapan 8th and the [/i]Bounty[/i].

    The Hapans secede with the Home and 8th Fleets, thus leaving the GA the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, half the 5th and the 9th, and the Bounty and Megador. Thus the comment that the Hapans represent 20% of the GA military, if each Dreadnought is treated as a fleet element.

    The GA thus only had the 4th and half the 5th holding at Kuat when the two Confederation fleets return, and abandons it. With the Corellian, Bothan and other forces, they overrun the GA, who repeatedly retreat and entrench across the Core, which needs to keep sufficient forces at Coruscant to protect it from two Hapan Fleets and one Wookiee one.

    When the Hapans shut their borders the Confederation has to prepare for a sudden return to the war and the 2nd, 3/4 3rd and half 5th can turn the tide again... until Centerpoint destroys the 2nd, at which point Tenel Ka allows the Hapan 8th to hold the balance of the war.

    The destruction of Centerpoint leaves the GA with the 3rd, 4th, what is left of the 5th, 9th, Megador and Bounty. Corellia, Fondor and Bothawui have two and half fleets odd, and the GA is only able to equal them and the Jedi Coalition with Remnant support.

    At the start of the war the combined GA, Remnant and Hapans has 26 fleets, based on the concept of each fleet being based around the equivalent of 20 Star Destroyers. By the end they have six, combined.

    After the Apocalypse

    The Keshiri overthrow the Sith following Nightsister intrigue, and the discovery that the first Sith to interact with the Keshiri were also the Destructors led by Dreypa, and the Tribe Sith join the One Sith, birthing the divide between ‘pure born Sith’ and those who were not born Sith that we see in the Legacy comics.

    Daala eventually fades from public view as it becomes known that she was in league with Abeloth. When she realises that the Old One may have manipulated her for much of her life, Daala submits to Jedi authority, realising that she is the architect of chaos that she long fought; the last vestige of Abeloth is drawn from Daala by Luke. He had himself figured out the connection while in retirement but waited until the Mortis Dagger was found, and Abeloth is destroyed. Daala leaves, and is never heard from again. Or some-such.

    Luke’s acts prevent the return of the Father of Shadows, finally rebalancing the Force. Ben and Seha eventually become a couple, but their relationship is sometimes defined by Ben’s history with Vestara, insofar as much as Luke and Mara’s was sometimes defined by Lumiya. Allana becomes Queen Mother and keeps Hapes independent and proud, brokering the Treaty of Anaxes to stabilise relations between the Galactic Alliance and Galactic Empire.

    Jagged and Jaina’s son declares himself Fel II, retroactively declaring Jagged’s reign as an Imperial one. The Imperial Knights come to be a separate entity over time, a holdover of interactions between the throne and Jaina, Tahiri and even Brandl.

    The Balance of the Living Force

    Throughout history there have been multiple Chosen Ones or Sith’ari, including Adas, Revan, the Outlander, Ruin, Bane, and Anakin and his successors. More recently, Rey has been awakened to defeat Ben Solo.

    In the modern era, the Rule of Two created Sith so powerful that they unbalanced the Force, with Sidious the incarnation of that imbalance. Anakin is born to stop that - but the imbalance has already caused the Father to weaken and sicken. The deaths of him, the Son and the Daughter created a further imbalance, and Vader’s fall deepened that, enabling Sith spirits, Old One agents, and Abeloth herself, to become active. It is such a threat that the Force allows the Chosen One family to become a dynasty, whereas before it managed the awakening of Revan’s descendants to prevent an imbalance. Not to say that the Force did not work through Theron as much as Satele, but Theron’s capacity for mayhem is considerably less than that of Revan’s.

    The Legacy of the Force is one of imbalance in the modern era, with Anakin, Luke, Leia, Anakin, Jacen, Jaina, Ben, Allana, Nate, Kol, Roan, Cade, Marasiah and even Ania having to contend with Sidious, Lumiya, Dathka Graush, Exar Kun, Marka Ragnos, potentially even Vergere and Onimi, Caedus, Abeloth and finally Darth Krayt and his legacy.

    Similarly; Rey Awakens to stop Ben Solo.

    One Canon Thoughts

    The last century of the New Sith Wars is also known as the Hundred Years Darkness - should such a retcon occur.

    Malachor Station is neither Malachor II, III or V, from ToR and KotoR.

    The Sith that seized Coruscant were not necessarily allied with Kaan; they were happy for them to destroy themselves at Ruusan, but Bane undid them too.

    The Solo movie is a con - Lando and Han knew each other from before. Qi’ra throws a skifter into the plan. Lando abandons the con after L3 dies.

    Kuat constructed thirteen SSDs, but Fondor in actuality constructing the Executor reveals that there were more constructed than expected, as with Legends.

    The First Order destroyed the Empire of the Hand.

    Various Destroyers did not withdraw to Annaj thanks to Pellaeon’s interference in the chain of command at Endor, which had passed to Sloane. The Vigilance, Steadfast, Eviscerator, Virulence and Redoubtable thus retreat independently. The ISDs at Annaj are the ones we see fighting the war under Thrawn, those under Harrsk, or withdrawing to the Elrood Sector, or at the rendezvous as per Ciena Ree’s narrative, continue on the war.

    Post-Endor Fiddly One Canon Thoughts

    Chewbacca was caught up in the refugee crisis and resurfaces after the Yuuzhan Vong War. Ackbar faked his death to dedicate himself to the Resistance.

    Abeloth and Jacen cause the deviation in time, and Ben Solo was potentially a teen hidden in the Maw at the time, or perhaps the Aftermath arc follows the final death of Palpatine.

    Until I’m told otherwise I’m assuming Ben massacred the latest Jedi students of the NJO and drove Luke to leave a year before TFA, and the public FO was created from the eight former Imperial Remnant sectors seceding from the NR/GA

    In Memoriam

    Niathal faked her death, intending to strike back at the Empire, and indeed Daala, if she messed up, taking a lesson from Daala sitting in hiding preparing to strike back.

    I agree with a lot of this but I still think for one canon there should be some minor changes or "rewrites" atleast in my head canon of a head canon version

    1. Ben solo is Han and Leia's only biological son. the rest are adopted .

    2. Hera's Son Jacen takes over Jacen solo's parts in the one canon. Hera dies during a mission as per Twilek tradition (this invertanly caused their slave legacy ) all children of the Notable Twi Lek (like the daughter of Chum ) who dies in service to a cause like the rebellion are automatically adopted by the leader of that cause this being Leia as Mon knows the Twi Lek customs more then her thus has a loop hole (I know this is Problematic but it would serve for some needed conflict between Ezra and the sky solos when he reemerged from the UK) Han tries to bond with Jacen but it doesn't go that well .

    3. Jaina's Role is filled by a new character who also gets adopted by the Skysolos after schenaganins. Im thinking of her being related to maul in some way. thus making the mandalorian training make more sense as some of the mandalorians might respect her more then Jaina in legends ever was .

    4. Anakin Solo role is filled by a new character who is Jacen's and Poe's Best friend the three of them are closer then brothers to the point Leia sees both him and poe unofficially as sons. if u seen One piece the feeling this would be is the same as when Ace died. (by the time of the first order Poe is going to be slightly a different character in my version ) it impacts Jacen and Tahiri the same way as legends proper.

    5. As we don't know much about Maz and how the smuggler's guide gives her loose ties to Typhojem (Via the Shrove of the Left Handed God Typhojem) I'm leaning on making her at some point in the timeline a cultist in her past during the height of her reign as pirate queen )

    6. Mara and Luke's offspring is gender swapped and is named Padme after Luke's mother. I aways thought it was a miss opportunity of having one of the offspring of the sky walkers named after her .

    7. Ahsoka through her connection with the daughter of mortis had started gaining the daughter's memories after mortis but due to the declaration of the empire and her involvement in the rebellion as fulcrum . she never really thought about the daughter's memories but after her duel with Vader and her exile during the war (if we don't know what she did during the OT by then ) has made her dive more deeply into them. By the time the search of Ezra she has almost fully gained back most of the daughter's power. She is basically The daughter in everything but skill/knowlege . During the reading of Arhur's journal she also helps to verify some of the information .

    8. Jar jar was a sora Sith Lord but like Vergere grew out of it until he saw a worthy apprentice in Mapo

    9. The Journal is part of the reasons why the first order choses to invade after concurring most of the unknown regions
    Various groups are all becoming active and depending on if we get Snoke's origins he ends up being one the things that rises due universal treasure hunt the journal inspires .

    The reason that Lucrehulk cores and Death Stars are the same shape is because the Geonosians designed both.

    You know how Malak's real name is Alek? I like to think this means that Revan's real name is Evan.
