In some sources, 5 ABY begins when the New Republic is founded. The NR is founded one month after the Battle of Endor. However, some sources portray events months after Endor that takes place in 4 ABY (like the N'zoth revolt). Which one is it? VT-16 08:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Mebbe Endor took place in November, the N'zoth revolt in December, and the New Republic is formed in January, which would make it 5 ABY? Or mebbe authors can't seem to count properly? I shouldn't pick on the authors though, I have a hellish time trying to work out a decently-spaced timeline in BBY/ABY format as well... >.< Trak Nar Ramble on 08:49, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- The revolt was said to be 8 months later. If 5 ABY begins one month after Endor, then it needs changing. I'd like an actual source before that though. :) VT-16 08:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Acually, it was sometime after the battle of Endor before the New Rpublic was formed. Between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the New Republic was the Alliance of Free Planets. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 10:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Which, though it's insane, canonically lasted for a total of three weeks (it was established one week after Endor, and was superseded by the New Republic one month after Endor). jSarek 10:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Then the N'zoth revolt simply happened in 5 ABY, I suppose. Grand Moff Tranner
