OOC Note: When adding or editing information in the timeline remember to only include
major facts of the event, such as location, Major players of the event, and outcomes.
Newest entries go above the older ones. This way a new player can read the most relevant events,
then scan down for older ones.

With the fact that the Battle of Yavin has not occured, ICly it would be OOC to refer to the 
 date as ## BBY, so in regard to that the Year System has been set up using 
 Great ReSynchronization which was established in 35 BBY. For times before that date the
 trailing letters would be 'BGR', with no spacing, meaning BeforeGalacticeResynchronization.
Example: 3987BGR

For reference: GR occurs 35 BBY, DNO Occurs 19 BBY. To find out what year BBY 
 something happened BGR, simply add 35 years to the BGR date. 
 To determine BBY dates for GR. Subtract DR date from 35 = BBY.
