"We, the Beings of the galaxy, in order to form a free union of planets, establish justice, provide for common peace and prosperity, and to secure liberty for all being, do ordain and establish this New Republic. Let the stars sing! Let the planets shout! Let the Republic begin!"
―Excerpt from the Declaration of a New Republic[11]

The year 4 after the Battle of Yavin, also known as Year 39 after the Great ReSynchronization and Year 1004 after the Ruusan Reformation, was a period of time that saw great upheaval in the galaxy. The first month of the year saw the Battle of Endor, one of the most decisive battles of the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic—the battle saw the destruction of the second Death Star and the death of the Galactic Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine's death largely fragmented the Empire, with many Imperial officers becoming warlords and seizing territory, and the Rebel Alliance transitioned into the Alliance of Free Planets and then the New Republic in the month after Endor. The first few months after the Battle of Endor also saw the Bakura Incident, the first alliance—albeit a temporary one—between the Empire and the Alliance, and also the Nagai–Tof War as the extra-galactic Nagai and Tof species invaded. Some factions temporarily set this year as 'year 0', until the establishment of the Battle of Yavin-based calendar two decades later.

  7. SWTOR mini Galactic History on The Old Republic's official website (article) (backup link) dates the Tho Yor Arrival, as described in Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi 0, to the year BTC 32,800 of the calendar based on the date of the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. Since the difference between that calendar and the Galactic Standard Calendar—based on the date of the Battle of Yavin—was 3,653 years per the reasoning here, the Tho Yor Arrival must have taken place in the year 36,453 BBY of the latter dating system. Therefore, the difference between the Galactic Standard Calendar and the dating system based on the Tho Yor Arrival that is featured in Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void must be 36,453 years.
  8. Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia places the Treaty of Coruscant, which served as the zero point of a calendar adopted by the Galactic Senate following the conclusion of the Great Galactic War per SWTOR mini Galactic History on The Old Republic's official website (article) (backup link), in the year 3653 BBY of the Galactic Standard Calendar, which was based around the date of the Battle of Yavin. Thus, the difference between the two dating systems is 3,653 years.
  9. The New Essential Chronology establishes that the zero point of the calendar introduced by Tarsus Valorum was the Ruusan Reformation. The book places that event in the year of 1000 BBY of the Galactic Standard Calendar—which was based around the date of the Battle of Yavin—therefore establishing a difference of one thousand years between the two dating systems.
  10. Per the reasoning here, the Battle of Yavin, the zero point in the Galactic Standard Calendar per The New Essential Chronology, can be placed in 35:3:8 under the Great ReSynchronization dating system, thereby confirming the placement of the division between each Galactic Standard Calendar year as the third month in the Great ReSynchronization year. Thus, there is a two-month, seven day gap between the two dating systems, with the first two months of a GrS year being the last two of the preceding Galactic Standard Calendar year, and there is a total difference of 35 years and 2 months between the two systems.
