Notes and references

  1. Pizzazz 3
  2. "The Keeper's World" and "The Kingdom of Ice" depict the Rebel Alliance still occupying their base on Yavin 4 after the Battle of Yavin, meaning that the stories must fall between Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and the Evacuation of Yavin as shown in "Doom Mission". The New Essential Chronology dates the Battle of Yavin and Evacuation of Yavin to 0 ABY and 0.5 ABY respectively.
