The formation of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy -- which marked the long-awaited return of the Jedi order to the galaxy -- was the basis of the Jedi Academy Trilogy published by Bantam Books in 1994. In the first book, Jedi Search, Skywalker scours the galaxy for Force-sensitive candidates for his new Jedi praxeum. That Kyle Katarn was one of the first students was confirmed in The Essential Chronology (2000, Del Rey Books), though Katarn is absent from the book series. Likewise, Corran Horn is identified as one of this class in I, Jedi (1998, Bantam Books) a novel set concurrently with the events of the Jedi Academy Trilogy, though Horn himself is not in the trilogy, as his character had not been created yet.

The first book also introduced the secrets of Maw Installation to readers, as well as the headstrong character of Kyp Durron and the ill-fated Admiral Daala. Political Troubles begins moving into territory covered by the second book, Dark Apprentice (1994, Bantam Books), with the poisoning of Mon Mothma, Ackbar's terrible accident on Vortex, and the return of Exar Kun. The incident of Katarn on Dromund Kaas is from Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith (1998, LucasArts) a video game expansion to Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

The Jedi Academy Trilogy concludes in Champions of the Force (1994, Bantam Books), which includes the events covered in The Recapture of Maw Installation.

The Emperor's Hand and the Senex Lords covers the events of a trio of Star Wars novels that, although never formally grouped as a trilogy, nonetheless tell a continuing story over the course of three novels. But before those three start, the mention of Corran Horn and the Invid pirates is from the aforementioned novel I, Jedi.

The Senex and Juvex sector plot featuring Roganda Ismaren begins in Children of the Jedi (1995, Bantam Books), which also introduced the battlemoon Eye of Palpatine. In this book, Luke meets the disembodied form of Callista. The two would eventually fall in love, but their love was always destined to fail, since the authors developing stories at Bantam knew that Luke would eventually end up with Mara Jade. In the interim, though, they introduced a couple of possible -- if ultimately futile -- loves for Luke, and Callista is the one most readers are familiar with.

Once Callista lost touch with the Force upon gaining a corporeal form, the search was one for a cure to her "blindness." This occurred at the same time as the events of The Darksaber Threat, covered in the novel Darksaber (1995, Bantam Books). This novel is noteworthy for killing off a character from the movies -- General Madine does not survive the events of this book. Also in Darksaber, Admiral Daala Returns, and regroups a number of Imperial warlords in a failed push against the Jedi and the New Republic.

Dorsk 82 and Kyp Durron's investigation of the mining planet Corbos was told in Jedi Academy: Leviathan #1-4 (1998-1999 Dark Horse Comics), a rare example of an original comics series that spotlighted characters from the novels.

The incident with Desann's Reborn comes from the video game Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II (2002, LucasArts). The numbering system gets a little strange, but it's the third game in the Dark Forces series starring Kyle Katarn.

The events that transpire in The Empire Regroups was bridging material introduced in the original version of The Essential Chronology (2000, Del Rey Books). The Mission to Adumar is from Starfighters of Adumar (1999, Bantam Books), the ninth book in the X-Wing series.

The Death Seed Plague is from the last book of the loosely-knit Callista "trilogy," Planet of Twilight (1997 Bantam Books). After the events of that novel, the Chronology presents some new material about Daala's actions. It's mostly new information, bridging accounts of her still being an active threat in the Black Fleet Crisis of novels (which are set in the Part Nine), and building upon information revealed in The New Essential Guide to Characters (2002, Del Rey Books).
