Exodus Date
I've had a couple new members come to me regarding the date of the Exodus. 18ABY is what the DB Basics course notes states where the wiki states 19ABY. Could we get a proper date and have them match in both areas? --Esca 17:59, 13 January 2014 (MST)
- Based on how we've aligned SW time to RL time, the Exodus would be 19 ABY. The reason for this is 2002 was 18 ABY, and we began to double up SW time by changing dates every April and November after the exodus. The split happened in April, thus it started a new year.
- I just checked DB History II and it states 19 ABY in the notes, so I believe the Basics exam is in error. I'd bring it to the HMs attention so he can correct it. --Shadow Taldrya 19:21, 13 January 2014 (MST)

We have historical records for this event. Why aren't we adding them to this page? We have the List of Grievances and I'm quite sure there's a copy of the official Declaration of Exodus floating around as well.
This page is thin, for being about such an important event. We have the historical records to actually flesh this out and make it reflect the truth... why haven't we? —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Ood Bnar
