Rise of the Empire era

The Rise of the Empire era, sometimes referred to as the Prequel era, takes place between 1000 BBY (the Seventh Battle of Ruusan) and 0 BBY (the Battle of Toprawa). In other words, it encompasses the whole Golden Age of the Old Republic.

The events of the Prequel trilogy (Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith) take place during the twilight of this era. The events of the Clone Wars film and TV series also happen in this era.
