The era of the Great Peace of the Republic began with the Ruusan Reformation more than one hundred years before the year of 896 BBY.[1] During these years, the Republic opened the Deep Core of the galaxy, and unexplored then Wild Space parts of space were charted by scouts and chartographers. The latter areas later became part of the Outer Rim Territories.[10]
After 896, the expansion of the Galactic Republic continued during the Great Peace of the Republic, which lasted for nearly nine hundred more years. In the following years, Economic forces acquired more and more power in the Republic, as companies established the Corporate Sector from star systems brought in the Tingel Arm.[11]
At one hundred years of age, Yoda became a Jedi Master. In the later centuries, he trained countless Jediapprentices until they reached knighthood. His many years of contribution to the Order gained him a seat on the Jedi Council. Eventually, he ascended to become Grand Master of the Jedi Order.[13] For centuries, he served as the leader of all Jedi, thus turning him into the "face" of the Council and the embodiment of the Order.[14]
↑The New Essential Chronology states that the Ruusan Reformation occurred in 1,000 BBY, which is the zero point of the calendar based on the Ruusan Reformation, so the difference between the calendar based on the Battle of Yavin and the Ruusan Reformation's year-notation system is 1,000 years. This date is derived using simple math based upon other confirmed dates.

↑Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide states that Yoda was born in 896 BBY, which year spans approximately 861:3–860:3 BrS in the year-notation system of the Great ReSynchronization. The Essential Guide to Characters states that by the time he met Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda was already 900 years old. The Essential Atlas marks the beginning of the film at 38:6:6, which puts Yoda's birthdate approximately to 862:6–861:6 BrS. Sectioning these two timespans narrows Yoda's possible birth date to 861:3–861:6 BrS, which is the approximately the first quarter of 896 BBY.
