If that was done every time something like that happened calendar makers would rise up in revolt. But nah, let's just chart it by some battle where a superweapon was destroyed. One thing that has me super ticked about star wars is this: Why the hell do we measure time by a goddamn battle? Why not the formation of the empire or Ruusan? The New Republic should welcome the legitimacy that comes from having the same year units as the government you claim to be a successor to. Also the hive virus kinda makes that a biological no-no zone even if he could know where it is located. That proverbial ship has sailed though as it was in. And the fleet is small on a cosmic scale. Also, if my grasp of the timeline is correct, which might be a little impeded due to my current condition, but I don't think outbound flight has launched yet.ДЄs for the Katana fleet. Outbound Flight was destroyed in unknown space and thus probably not a good idea to go looking for it because it's, yknow, destroyed. It was such a huge shift in galactic policy that even if they didn't start using it immediately the difference between the galaxy before and post reformation would be so big that historians would definitely start using it just to make their work easier. The Ruusan reformation happened after a millennia of the galaxy being a meat grinder, a seminal point of the republic which had been a fixture of galactic power for millennia and would continue for several more.

Palpatine could do so because he was the emperor and whoever disobeyed got zapped.

The New Republic simply would not have the political capital to waste on such a frivolous thing. While it might be plausible for them to start using Yavin as the start of a new galaxy wide standardized time counting milestone at some point I doubt they would in universe start using it anywhere in the same century or maybe even millennia. the second year of this or that kings reign etc. Click to shrink.The reason we do that has a lot more to do with the church's convoluted policies and the industrial revolution because up to the fifteenth century a lot of states used Reginal years to tell time.
