Star Wars Genesis is set during the Galactic Civil War (2 BBY – 3 ABY). While the Genesis timeline is based on Canon, there have been some creative liberties taken place to incorporate aspects from Legends, such as the Rakghoul Plague, Yuuzhan Vong, and specific characters. It is very Force Unleashed inspired, where the storylines are nested around canon events in order to be grounded, while also remaining unpredictable, entertaining, and most importantly, fun.
