[Spoilers!] Class Story Timelines

[catpella]

So one of the community entries on timeline made me start thinking about class stories and when they take place related to each other. I'd like to get some discussion going on that.



If we could list out what events take place when in the class stories, we could maybe try to deduce around what happens when. Also, do we know how long from story beginning to Act 3 end is supposed to be? One year? Longer?

I know Sith Warrior gets an email after their end of Act 3 that a Jedi tried to kill the Emperor but only set him back. This implies that the Jedi Knight ending and the Sith Warrior ending are very close to each other- a few days, a few weeks? The Agent Act 3 dissolved Intelligence, but the resolution to that is left really vague, and it doesn't seem to be mentioned in any other story, is it?

I'm not going to be much help, given my dawdling pace. I can't really think of any cross-reference likely bits in the two stories I've gone through Chapter One of, but if anyone wants a list of the events of Chapter One for Agent or Smuggler, I can provide.

...

It suddenly strikes me as bizarre that, so far as I know, the fact that Darth Jadus's ship gets blown up over Dromund Kaas is not even mentioned in any other Imperial storyline. You'd think the Sith might mention it. You'd even think a Bounty Hunter might. But, so far, nope. (I guess that's due to spoilers, but still. Exploding ship!)

While I won't dip my toe too deeply into this for fear of spoiling the storylines I haven't played, when I fic/RP I tend to think of the class storyline as having taken at least a year, probably closer to two. For ex, I like to imagine that those trips to the class trainer represent some actual training my SW did on Korriban, even though the game makes it seem like you go from new arrival to Baras' apprentice in an afternoon...

The timeline on Wookieepedia gives two years of Cold War, so that sounds about right - assuming the war restarts at the end of Chapter Three.
