15,500 BBY

15,500 Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) was a year in the Indecta Era of the Galactic Republic. While the expansion of the Republic-known galaxy had come to a near halt with the outbreak of the First Alsakan Conflict fifteen hundred years earlier, scouts and explorers eventually returned to the outer frontier of space. 15,500 BBY, Republic scouts encountered the Duinuogwuin species. Frightened, the scouts hastily retreated to Coruscant, with hundreds of the oft-called "Star Dragons" in pursuit. The Republic planet was attacked, but peace was forged between the Duinuogwuin philosopher Borz'Mat'oh and Supreme Chancellor Fillorean. Together, as part of the peace, they established the University of Coruscant.
