- «My chronological circuits have marked over ten full revolutions of this system's outermost planet around the sun since the Builders left.»
- ―The Overseer
Chronological circuitry, also known as chronological circuits, was a component of the droid known as the Overseer. It was constructed by the Infinite Empire before the establishment of the Galactic Republic. By 3956 BBY, chronological circuitry had allowed the Overseer to record that the planet Purnell of the Dantooine system had made more than ten complete orbits since the departure of members of the empire's ruling Rakata species from the facility on the world Dantooine at which the Overseer was stationed.
Description
Chronological circuitry, also referred to as chronological circuits, was a component of the droid known as the Overseer that allowed them to record the number of orbits a planet had made since a specific point in time.[1]
History
- «There is no mistake. The Builders constructed my chronological circuitry using the technology of the Star Forge itself. My calculations are infallible.»
- ―The Overseer
Chronological circuitry was a part of the droid known as the Overseer (pictured).
The Overseer's chronological circuitry was created by the Infinite Empire of the Rakata species using the technology of the Force-powered factory known as the Star Forge.[1] In 3956 BBY,[2] when the Jedi Revan and Bastila Shan visited the Rakatan facility on[1] the Outer Rim Territories[3] planet Dantooine, where the Overseer was stationed, the droid told the pair that their chronological circuitry had recorded the Dantooine system's outermost world,[1] Purnell,[3] having made more than ten complete orbits since the Rakata had departed the installation. That claim let the Jedi deduce that the Infinite Empire's reign predated the establishment of the Galactic Republic[1] in 25,053 BBY.[4] When the incredulous Shan doubted the accuracy of the claim, the Overseer expressed confidence in the quality of their chronological circuitry and that the calculations facilitated by the component were "infallible."[1]
Behind the scenes
Chronological circuitry was mentioned in the 2003 BioWare video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.[1]
