"Of the events that have transpired over the last year, there are many rumors and far fewer facts. Those rumors could all be dispelled by having an exact chronology of events created, and perhaps, in another generation or two, such a chronology could be made public. While we were a covert force fighting against the Empire, there was no questioning the need for stealth and secrecy. It was what kept us alive and allowed us to fight on against the Empire. Because of this secrecy we have defeated them in battle after battle."

―New Republic Chief of State Mon Mothma, following Ysanne Isard's final flight from Coruscant^[9]

6 ABY was the sixth year after the Battle of Yavin in the Galactic Standard Calendar.

Events

The Cirra Mace resurfaced on the planet Genesia in the Brak sector of the Expansion Region after being stolen fifteen years ago and was offered for sale on the underground market in Brenn, the largest city on Genesia. Warriors of the Cirra akia—clan of the Aramandi species— most uncharacteristically found off their homeworld, thoroughly searched the city to find the mace, but were unsuccessful. Rumors claimed that the mace was sold to a Nalroni merchant, and since this incident the Nalroni were considered thieves by Cirra warriors.^[10]

Since the difference between that calendar and the Galactic Standard Calendar—based on the date of the Battle of Yavin—was 3,653 years per the reasoning here, the Tho Yor Arrival must have taken place in the year 36,453 BBY of the latter dating system. Therefore, the difference between the Galactic Standard Calendar and the dating system based on the Tho Yor Arrival that is featured in Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void must be 36,453 years.
↑ Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia places the Treaty of Coruscant, which served as the zero point of a calendar adopted by the Galactic Senate following the conclusion of the Great Galactic War per Galactic History on The Old Republic's official website (article) (backup link), in the year 3653 BBY of the Galactic Standard Calendar, which was based around the date of the Battle of Yavin.

↑ Per the reasoning here, the Battle of Yavin, the zero point in the Galactic Standard Calendar per The New Essential Chronology, can be placed in 35:3:8 under the Great ReSynchronization dating system, thereby confirming the placement of the division between each Galactic Standard Calendar year as the third month in the Great ReSynchronization year. Thus, there is a two-month, seven day gap between the two dating systems, with the first two months of a GrS year being the last two of the preceding Galactic Standard Calendar year, and there is a total difference of 35 years and 2 months between the two systems.
