The era known as the Rise of the Empire, which is also sometimes called the Prequel era, spans the time between 1000 BBY (marked by the Seventh Battle of Ruusan) and 0 BBY (signified by the Battle of Toprawa). To put it another way, it completely covers the Golden Age of the Old Republic. The Prequel trilogy films (Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, plus Episode III Revenge of the Sith) are set near the end of this period. Also, the Clone Wars movie along with the TV show occur during this time frame. ### 1000 BBY–980 BBY - Darth Bane: Rule of Two - Darth Bane: Rule of Two audiobook - Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil - Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil audiobook ### 700 BBY - " Heart of Darkness " — Star Wars Tales 16 - Legacy of the Jedi ### 67 BBY - Republic: Vow of Justice - " The Tenebrous Way " — Star Wars Insider 130 - Darth Plagueis - Darth Plagueis audiobook ### 58 BBY - " Stones " — Star Wars Tales 13 ### 53 BBY - Jedi—The Dark Side ### 51 BBY–21 BBY - The Wrath of Darth Maul ### 47 BBY - " Children of the Force ·" — Star Wars Tales 13 ### 45 BBY - " Survivors ·" — Star Wars Tales 13 ### 44 BBY - Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force - Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival - Jedi Apprentice: The Hidden Past - Jedi Apprentice: The Mark of the Crown - " Life, Death, and the Living Force " — Star Wars Tales 1 - Jedi Apprentice: The Defenders of the Dead - Jedi Apprentice: The Uncertain Path - Jedi Apprentice: The Captive Temple - Jedi Apprentice: The Day of Reckoning - Jedi Apprentice Special Edition: Deceptions - Jedi Apprentice: The Fight for Truth - Jedi Apprentice: The Shattered Peace - Republic: The Stark Hyperspace War - " Mythology " — Star Wars Tales 14 ### 44 BBY–29 BBY - Jedi Apprentice Special Edition: Deceptions ### 44 BBY–9 ABY - The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi ### 43 BBY - " The Secret of Tet-Ami " — Star Wars Tales 13 - " George R.

The period known as the Rise of the Empire, which is alternatively known as the Prequel era, stretches from 1000 BBY (specifically, the Seventh Battle of Ruusan) up to 0 BBY (notably, the Battle of Toprawa). Stated differently, it fully incorporates the Golden Age of the Old Republic. The events depicted in the Prequel trilogy of films (Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, including Episode III Revenge of the Sith) unfold towards the tail end of this age. Furthermore, both the Clone Wars motion picture and the television series take place within this same era. ### 1000 BBY–980 BBY - Darth Bane: Rule of Two - Darth Bane: Rule of Two audiobook - Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil - Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil audiobook ### 700 BBY - " Heart of Darkness " — Star Wars Tales 16 - Legacy of the Jedi ### 67 BBY - Republic: Vow of Justice - " The Tenebrous Way " — Star Wars Insider 130 - Darth Plagueis - Darth Plagueis audiobook ### 58 BBY - " Stones " — Star Wars Tales 13 ### 53 BBY - Jedi—The Dark Side ### 51 BBY–21 BBY - The Wrath of Darth Maul ### 47 BBY - " Children of the Force ·" — Star Wars Tales 13 ### 45 BBY - " Survivors ·" — Star Wars Tales 13 ### 44 BBY - Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force - Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival - Jedi Apprentice: The Hidden Past - Jedi Apprentice: The Mark of the Crown - " Life, Death, and the Living Force " — Star Wars Tales 1 - Jedi Apprentice: The Defenders of the Dead - Jedi Apprentice: The Uncertain Path - Jedi Apprentice: The Captive Temple - Jedi Apprentice: The Day of Reckoning - Jedi Apprentice Special Edition: Deceptions - Jedi Apprentice: The Fight for Truth - Jedi Apprentice: The Shattered Peace - Republic: The Stark Hyperspace War - " Mythology " — Star Wars Tales 14 ### 44 BBY–29 BBY - Jedi Apprentice Special Edition: Deceptions ### 44 BBY–9 ABY - The Life and Legend of Obi-Wan Kenobi ### 43 BBY - " The Secret of Tet-Ami " — Star Wars Tales 13 - " George R.
