So, what is this ignored era of mine? (That I find to be one of the most interesting.) It was mentioned very few times, but in my opinion was the most important (Aside from the Old Republic). This era is the Pre Republic...
So, why is the Pre Republic so important? Why does it leave such a large impression in the history of our favorite galaxy so "Far far away.."? Well, good news! That is what this blog is about! Enjoy!

This Era includes everything from the evolution of the first species, to the creation of the hyperdrive, and the construction of the Star Forge by the Rakatans, dating from 7,500,000,000 to the dawn of 25,000 BBY.
Here is a timeline that I copied and pasted from http://wookieepedia.com.
I don't expect you to read it, but if you want to, feel free. If not, (I didn't either), skip down to the bottum and just read the summary.

Please comment if you hear of one coming out!


May the force be with you! God Bless!!!!!!!!!
