The era your game takes place in will color the issue that are appropriate but that isn’t to say you can’t find a corner of the galaxy where the themes of that era don’t apply.
Before the Republic Era (36,000 – 25,000 BBY)
This era explores the earliest days of the Je’daii Order as they study the Force on Tython. Space travel is limited though the ruthless Rakatan Infinite Empire spans the reaches of the known worlds using the Darkside of the Force to power technology far more advanced than that of their subjugated neighbors.
Old Republic Era (25,000 – 1,000 BBY)
This era begins with the formation of the Republic. During these long years, the Sith break from the ranks of the Jedi and create multiple Sith empires that rise to power and then fall into obscurity.
Rise of the Empire Era (1,000 – 0 BBY)
This era begins the golden age for the Republic, but ends in tragic darkness as centuries of Sith scheming culminate in Darth Sidious’s rise to power at the end of the Clone Wars, crowning himself the galactic Emperor.
Rebellion Era (0 – 5 ABY)
Beings struggle under the oppression of Imperial control, with no Jedi to protect them, in this era. Dark Sidious and his apprentice, Dark Vader, rule with iron fists during this era. Early on, an Alliance to Restore the Republic forms and the emperor is eventually overthrown.
New Republic Era (5 – 25 ABY)
This era sees an end to tyranny as a New Galactic Republic liberates countless worlds from the Imperial Remnant. As the Republic struggles to bring peace to a fractious galaxy, Luke Skywalker becomes a Jedi Master, establishing a New Jedi Order.
New Jedi Order Era (25 – 40 ABY)
During this era, an extra-galactic species known as the Yuuhan Vong invade the galaxy. A Galactic Alliance is formed between the leading factions of the galaxy and they push back the invaders after five long years of war. Their celebration is short, however, as only a few years later the Kilik civilization resurfaces, under the influence of the Dark Nest, servants of the Darkside. They create a crisis within the Alliance that escalates into a brief, but intense, war.
Legacy Era (40 ABY – Whenever)
A Second Galactic Civil War erupts and former allies find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. A new Dark Lord of the Sith appears in the form of Darth Caedus, who brings an end to hostilities as both factions unite against him. After his death, the new alliance splits, and the Empire once against takes over the galaxy.
