Manderon Period was an era of the Galactic Republic which lasted from 7000 BBY to 5000 BBY and reached its height some 6,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was marked by a "trio" of discoveries which changed the fate of the galaxy. The Exiles discovered the Sith Empire. The Corellian Trade Spine was completed by 5500 BBY. Simultaneously the Herglics and Givin form the Rimma Trade Route out of pre-existing praediums.
