The 'ABY-BBY' dating system was a 12-month/368-day calendar created by the New Republic Historical Council following the Galactic Civil War. Around 25 ABY, it became the official galactic calendar, replacing the Great ReSynchronization calendar used during the Imperial Era. The 'ABY-BBY' dating system differentiated years occurring before the Battle of Yavin (designated as BBY) from those following it (ABY). The New Republic Historical Council chose the Battle of Yavin as its zero point, instead of the Battle of Endor, declaring the former the more significant galactic event. This calendar was employed throughout the galaxy for more than a century and was still in use at the time of the Sith–Imperial War.
