The Kymoodon Era represents a period within the galaxy, commencing around 15,000 BBY. This epoch is characterized by a resurgence in expansion, echoing the earlier Great Manifest Period. The utilization of hyperspace travel became more prevalent during this timeframe, and several prominent starship manufacturing companies trace their origins back to this era.
During the concluding centuries of this era, Republic settlers ventured beyond established borders into what was then considered Wild Space, situated between the Republic and Hutt Space. The Hutt clans orchestrated numerous incursions against these newly established worlds, intending to enslave the inhabitants. Colonies such as Lexrul, Drogheda, Hathrox, Imram, and Parcovey Minor were among those targeted. The successful defense of Parcovey Minor offered a rare moment of triumph for the colonists amidst these hostile raids. From Farm-Wife to Warrior provides a contemporary record of the slavery practices of the time.
The Kymoodon Era spanned from the termination of the Indecta Era at 15,000 BBY to the advent of the Pius Dea Era, which was inaugurated by the selection of Contispex I as Supreme Chancellor in 11,987 BBY.
