[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 6284632, member: 26698"] One small note beforehand: I am somewhat indecisive about the specific "year zero" of the setting, because of some things I have seen which are cool enough to add-not all of them being "there" from "year zero", but some of them, yes. As an example: "Pacific Rim" is not something that would be added from "year zero"-it would appear later and some things about it (such as the application of the Serizawa Scale to [I]try[/I] to classify Kaiju (emphasis on "try" because some Kaiju are harder to classify than others-and probably would be a discussion in-universe (and maybe out) about expanding upon the scale)) would influence the setting. But "Star Trek" is there from "year zero" onwards, and I was seeing some ideas on STO/the Abrams reboot (such as, of course, the Hoban Supernova (and with it, Romulus and Remus being reformed by the Virus), Species 8472 being reclassified as the "Undine", Starfleet pretty much pulling everything they can out of mothballs and refitted to keep up with necessities, and so on), and so is "Mass Effect". I was struggling with the idea whether to keep "year zero" unknown or not. On the SW side of things... time has passed about the same rate on both the Milky Way and the SW galaxy from The Vanishing and "year zero" onwards. Stuff from all over the setting's timeline is there (such as the examples you mentioned-Darth Revan stealing ships that (to him) are modern to update his army, the CIS being reformed with Clone Wars-era droid armies, the Imperial Remnant getting some more teeth, Alderaan is back and is as you see it on the "The Old Republic" RPG, etc). Some discussion of which things are there and not there from the end of the First Galactic Civil War onwards needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
