* Tired of the abuse he suffers from both Dooku and Ventress, Savage turns on both of them and returns to Mother Talzin, who informs him that his brother Darth Maul is still alive. Savage travels to Lotho Minor and finds Maul miraculously alive, albeit as a weakened raging lunatic. Savage brings him to Talzin, who restores Maul's sanity and crafts him a new set of robotic legs. In response, Dooku has General Grievous massacre the Nightsisters. There are only two known survivors of the witches besides Talzin - Merrin, a young girl, and Morgan Elsbeth.

** Others who begin taking early steps to resist the Empire include Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila and Luthen Rael, who form a reluctant alliance as they begin procuring funding for an organized rebellion; Onderon insurgent Saw Gerrera, who easily transitions to fighting the Empire after the Clone Wars leading the Partisans; and Rex, who becomes a coordinator of early rebel activity. He and Echo begin searching the galaxy for clone troopers who have anti-Imperial sentiments.

* Grand Admiral Thrawn is deployed to deal with Phoenix Squadron's plan to assault Lothal and destroy his TIE Defender project. After he successfully cripples them at the Battle of Atollon, the ''Ghost'' crew goes to Lothal to personally work on liberating the planet.

** Dooku and Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas (who was unaware of Dooku's true allegiance at the time) contact a cloning facility on the planet Kamino, placing an order for a clone army to be used by the Republic. Bounty hunter Jango Fett is chosen as the genetic template.

** The Advanced Science Division undertakes a mysterious cloning project, Project Necromancer, on direct orders of Palpatine involving the cloned Zillo Beast. Dr. Penn Pershing and Dr. Emerie Karr are among those recruited to the division. The end goal is to successfully forge a clone body with a suitable midichlorian count so that Palpatine may inhabit the body upon any potential demise; however, he tells Hemlock that the project is simply to create Force-using clones as an army (though he doesn't rule out this plan as a back-up).

** Vader and Sidious begin actively using the Inquisitorious to hunt the surviving Jedi, most of whom are padawans with incomplete training. A former Jedi Temple Guard who was shaken by the trial of Ahsoka takes leadership of the Inquisitorious as the Grand Inquisitor. Reva takes a position as the Third Sister while the last batch of Jango Fett clones are brought in as Purge Troopers to serve the Inquisitorious.

** Cal and Bode defeat Dagan and gain the compass to reach Tanalor. However, Bode betrays the Path to the Empire, murdering Cordova. Cere dies holding the line against Vader himself while the others evacuate.
** The surviving crew of the ''Mantis'' pursues Bode to Tanalor. Though they try to reason with Bode, he refuses to surrender Tanalor as a haven for Kata and has to be killed by Cal and Merrin. The crew holds a funeral for Bode, Cere, and Eno, resolving to carry on their fallen friends' legacy by proceeding with forming a sanctuary on Tanalor.

Ventress survives the assassination attempt, leading her to seek revenge on her former master. She returns to her home planet of Dathomir and asks Mother Talzin and the Nightsisters for help. After their attempt to ambush Dooku fails, she turns to the Nightbrothers, choosing Savage Opress to be magically empowered and sent in to be Dooku's newest apprentice, with the end goal being that Savage and Ventress would kill Dooku together once Savage became strong enough.
* Tired of the abuse he suffers from both Dooku and Ventress, Savage turns on both of them and returns to Mother Talzin, who informs him that his brother Darth Maul is still alive. Savage travels to Lotho Minor and finds Maul miraculously alive, albeit as a weakened raging lunatic. Savage brings him to Talzin, who restores Maul's sanity and crafts him a new set of robotic legs.

Note: While this is only focused on the new Expanded Universe, ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' had the galactic calendar centered on the Battle of Yavin (the events of Episode IV). For simplicity, this timeline will maintain that.

* The planet Peridea becomes known as a place of legend and myth among the Force-users of the galaxy. In truth, the planet is not only a graveyard for purrgil who travel there to spend the last moments of their lives, but it is the ancestral homeworld of the Dathomiri and their Nightsisters.

* Mothma becomes Chancellor of the New Republic. Scarred from her life's work rebelling against Palpatine, Mothma severely weakens the New Republic's executive powers, intending to prevent such a terrible dictator from ever rising again. However, this results in the Republic becoming demilitarized and complacent.
* The New Republic begins decommissioning most Imperial technology and hires defectors from the Empire and Imperial remnants, though they keep select Imperial tech on hand for their own uses. Many citizens throughout the galaxy also see little difference between the two administrations, with plenty of Imperial sympathizers remaining at work in every level of government in the New Republic.
* The Great Mothers of the Nightsisters reach out to Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth, a descendant of Mother Talzin's Nightsisters, instructing her to begin preparing to retrieve Thrawn from his exile. As Elsbeth begins preparing, rumors begin circulating that Thrawn has returned.

** On the planet Corvus, Ahsoka Tano hunts for information on Grand Admiral Thrawn. She forces Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth to confess to the existence of a star map that can lead to Thrawn's location.

* Maul recovers from his injuries inflicted by Obi-Wan and with the help of Savage forms a third party in the war based in Mandalore. Maul seizes control of the planet after he helps install Pre-Vizla, leader of Death Watch, as leader of the planet, but the two come to blows in a duel that ends in Maul killing Vizla and becoming the rightful owner of the Darksaber. Seeing Maul as a threat to his plans, Sidious personally defeats Maul and kills Savage, invoking the Rule of Two, and brings down Maul's empire, using him to find and kill Mother Talzin.

* The survivors of the ''Ghost'' crew rejoin the larger Rebel Alliance, though Sabine stays on Lothal to defend it. Hera Syndulla gives birth to Jacen Syndulla, who she conceived with Kanan prior to his death.

* Operation Cinder, a galaxy-wide operation planned by Palpatine in the event he perished (and was not victim of Vader carrying out the Rule of Two by usurping him), gets underway. Many planets are targeted for decimation with the end goal being Palpatine's petty revenge against his Empire, unwilling to let it continue without his rule. Not even loyal Imperial planets are spared from the offensive.

* The Empire is driven back by Rebel forces, culminating in the decisive [[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront2015 Battle of Jakku]]. Within two years of the Emperor's death, the Empire sues for peace, and the New Republic is born.
