- What we known as the Universe began to exist.
1 Billion – 1 Million Years

It is unknown who fired first but the ship that fired the Nuke caused Earth to experience longer days and nearly pushed the planet away from its moon.
- A Great Darkness wipes out nearly 70% of the Galaxies known races and technologies, leaving behind vast ruins of old civilizations which most erode into dust over long stretches of time.

- Earth undergoes a major ice age further burying Atlantis. Several Hover Arks are built to expand human life to warmer areas of the planet. The ice age slowly wipes out Human technology by 50,000 BCE the humans are left with little to nothing and must start fresh. Reserves of weapons and technology are held as sacred and passed down from King to Son.
- The Twi’lek leave their planet on a primitive space craft and populate two of the moons over Ryloth. These Twi’lek are believed to be dead by the inhabitants of the planet for several thousand years before Space Flight becomes advanced enough to travel to and from their Jungle Moons.
- 40,000 the Vasari are pushed to the Core with their last known planets. One by one they abandon the planets before disappearing into the Core and hiding in Dark Space. The Dark Empire becomes a shell of what it was. One Titan remains in Dark Space while the other drifted along the edge of the Rim protecting the gateway to Dark Space.

- Rome rules with a bronze fist across most of Europe using what little ancient technology they had to fuel a vast empire. As Rome falls the last bit of ancient society falls with it causing a complete human reboot into the world. What was left from the tech spawns the miracles of the Bible, the tech is destroyed at the fall of the empire so that no other may possess the strength of the Roman empire. Some say tech can be found within the vaults of the Vatican.
