Author's Note:
It has always been difficult for me to reconcile times and dates of specific happening within the NJO timeline as concrete. Because the books themselves take place over a four to five year period (depending on how you interpret the years given in the book timeline), a few of the books have overlapping storylines (Dark Journey and Traitor for example) and the editors seem to lack any concern for consistency in the character ages (or appearances) or the lengths of pregnancies (and I'm not even referring to Tenel Ka's) it is often had to gauge the amount of time that takes place between major events.
After much discussion with a fellow fan, and a little liberal math, I've chosen to observe a timeline that places the events of Star By Star as happening after 28.5 ABY. Also, inconsistencies throughout the books made me question if Tahiri Veila was really born in 13 ABY. If she was born in 12 ABY she could have already been 16 when the Mission to Myrkr was undertaken. If you hold fast tot he notion that the events of SbS occurred closer to the beginning of 28ABY I apologize and hope that does not detract from any enjoyment of this story.
Here is my meager attempt to rectify what Troy Denning hath wrought.
And I own nothing.
