Timeline 1: Treaty of Coruscant, the initial installment of the Galactic Timeline video collection, offers background information pertaining to the Star Wars: The Old Republic game. This video takes the shape of an archival notation documented within the Jedi Archives by Jedi Master Gnost-Dural. It was released on StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com on March 27 of 2009.
The backdrop for Star Wars: The Old Republic is a distinctive era within the galaxy's narrative. Following years of conflict, the Sith Empire launched an assault on Coruscant, the Republic's central world, compelling Republic Senators and the Jedi Council to accept a harsh accord.
ATC 0 – In the time after the treaty, the Jedi Council assigned Master Gnost-Dural, the overseer of the Jedi Archives, the duty of re-evaluating the galaxy's past considering the events that had just occurred. Master Gnost-Dural, through his comprehensive reports, created a revised galactic chronology that served as a learning tool for many years afterward… the very same years during which Star Wars: The Old Republic unfolds.
In his inaugural recording, Master Gnost-Dural narrates the occurrences directly preceding the ratification of the Treaty of Coruscant - the pivotal moment in the Republic's recent past.
