Pius Dea Era

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Pius Dea Era was an era of time in the galaxy from 12,000 BBY to 11,000 BBY. During this time, Supreme Chancellor Contispex initiated many crusades against outlying alien cultures, reversing a previous trend of cultural integration. Those under persecution fled to Hutt Space, transforming the Rimward Slice into a staging grounds for soldiers, as well as an area for war profiteers to operate. Also during this time, Ordnance/Regional Depots proliferated and were a constant reminder to those outside the Galactic Republic.^[1]
