Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Expansionist Period, also known as the Expansion Era, Galactic Expansion Era, or Expansion Era, was the term given to the years after the Galactic Republic formed, when transit between the Core Worlds was opened up by the newly-developed hyperdrive, and during the early expansion of the Republic. Also, the Tion Hegemony, at this time, was a proud civilization, and most of the worlds of the Allied Tion sector were settled.

The Myneyrsh–Psadan wars and the Wayland colonial war were fought on Wayland during this era, as well.
