When a nine-book series was first proposed in 2004, it was originally slated to be set in the Sith Era. It is unknown when in the era the series would have taken place, but Sue Rostoni said the following on the forums at StarWars.com:
About a month later, Rostoni posted the following information in the thread:
Star Wars: Legacy of the Force has seen the re-emergence of several characters, both from the EU and from the films, who had until the series been untouched by EU literature for some time. Most notably the Dark Lady of the Sith Lumiya made her first appearance in a novel in Betrayal, and Boba Fett, last seen in a cameo role in The Unifying Force, re-entered the galactic scene in Bloodlines. Other characters, such as Thrackan Sal-Solo, Gilad Pellaeon, and Ailyn Vel, as well as Natasi Daala, had their story-arcs brought to a conclusion.
