"As a result, the rebels were able to destroy most of the Imperial shipping and damage the Steadfast—even managing to kill Commodore Freylon—on the way out."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

StarWars.com Hidden Empire Revealed: Charles Soule on Marvel's Next Star Wars Epic – Exclusive on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that the events of Star Wars: Hidden Empire, including Hidden Empire 5, take place between the events of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which are dated to 3 ABY and 4 ABY, respectively, by Star Wars: Timelines. Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire also establishes that the battle occurred before the Battle of Endor, which is dated to 4 ABY by Star Wars: Timelines. Therefore, the battle must have occurred between those years.

  5. ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
