The Red Empire Capital Planet of Denon Timeline

0 ABY
While under the control of the 1st Galactic Empire, Denon was a Ecumenopolis, and had a population of 500 Billion encompassing the entire planet.

505 ABY
By the time that Red Empire took over this planet and made it their capital, the planet's population had diminished to a mere 3.8 Billion people. This was mainly due to geographical changes that formed on the planet. In other words, a massive mountain range had formed in the southeastern quadrant of the planet. This mountain range had taken over most of that quadrant of the planet, and it destroyed most of the buildings there. This ultimately led to much of the southern hemisphere becoming deserted. It was known that the mountain range started its quick formation by no later than 350 ABY, since construction on the Solaris Family Palace, as well as a neighboring Mandalorian city of Mispols, began in 420 ABY surrounded by a well formed mountain range that barely changed after construction began. Moreover, it was confirmed that these construction projects began at least several decades after the mountain range began to form. These buildings were built in the Southeastern quadrant of the planet surrounded by mountains on all sides.

527 ABY
By 527 ABY, Denon's population had increased to 250 Billion (plus on average 40 Billion other individuals who either live on another Red Empire planet, or have their secondary home on Denon). By this time, the entire northern hemisphere, as well as most of the southwestern quadrant had therefore reformed back into one giant Ecumenopolis. The southeastern quadrant was the only quadrant not heavily populated due to the mountains. The only exception in the southeastern quadrant was that the Mandalorian city of Mispols had a thriving population of 100 million (of which everyone was Mandalorian).

528 ABY
By 528 ABY, Denon's population had increased to a staggering 400 Billion (plus on average 60 Billion other individuals who either live on another Red Empire planet, or have their secondary home on Denon).


Important Locations on Denon
Capital City:
population = over 399 billion permanent citizens
          - Terix's Royal Sith Palace: the building where many of the Empire's higher ranking officials and Force Sensitive individuals lived, trained, and prepared battle tactics. This building was protected by shields that could only be deactivated by the Sith and their most trusted advisors (including officers).
          - Officer houses: these homes were reserved for officers who are no lower than the rank of colonel, but the homes reserved for naval officers were typically no lower than vice admiral. These mansions surrounded the exterior of the Royal Palace complex and grounds on its left and right sides with a lower rank officer apartment complex. The top ranking officers of the army, the Security Bureau, and the Pilot Squadrons who had their homes on the left side of the officer complex (when facing the palace from the city), while the navy had its high ranking officer homes on the right side of the officer complex (hen facing the palace from the city).

Other Locations

Solaris Family Palace This palace was built in a large valley in the mountains in the southeastern quadrant of the planet, well secluded from the capital city's governmental and military district (which are part of the ecumenopolis. Its construction was ordered and supervised by the infamous bounty hunter Helun Solaris, who lived from 383 ABY - 470 ABY. The palace was built onto the side of a mountain and overlooked the Mandalorian city of Mispols, which had a population of 100 million Mandalorians. Mispols in conjunction with the Solaris Family Palace were surrounded by mountains on all sides. Solaris ordered the construction of her family's palace just eleven years after the Battle of Mandalore (409 ABY), in other words, 420 ABY. Helun Solaris, worked for the Togruta Empire pretty much full time from her defection from the Mandalorian Protectors until her death. She and her husband used this as their retreat home from the Togruta Empire's capital planet of Kiros. Since the surviving members of the Solaris dynasty had been banished from their family's palace by the time that Darth Terix officially revealed the Red Empire to the galaxy in 503 ABY, Terix made an agreement with the Solaris' that he would help them regain their family retreat. After the Battle of Denon in 505 ABY, the Red Empire made Denon their capital planet, and the Solaris' returned to their family palace, and turned it  into their primary residence. However, it still often wound up being used as a retreat home for the family for nights that they did not stay in Terix's Royal Sith Palace.

Bensun Family Palace This palace was built in a remote area of Denon's southeastern mountain range. Barx Bensun and Jennu Callipo-Bensun ordered the construction of this monstrosity in 514 ABY, just a few months after their marriage. The Bensun's stayed at their family palace when they were not staying overnight in Terix's Royal Sith Palace.

The Mandalorian Protectors (237 ABY - Present)

     Over time the Mandalorian "Army" of the Mandalorian Protectors, [AKA the Protectors, (not to be confused with Fenn Rau's Journeyman Protectors from Star Wars Rebels)] gradually increased in numbers from a small force of 300 elite warriors protecting Mandalore's capital city of Sundari, to being a large and powerful army of 5 Million Mandalorian soldiers by 521 ABY (with a large percentage of the army still being from Mandalore, but there were some individuals from every planet in the Mandalorian Sector that was not under control of the Red Empire).

Amount of Soldiers in the Protectors

• 237 ABY - 316 ABY: 300 Warriors
• 316 ABY - 396 ABY: 1,000 Soldiers
• 397 ABY - 501 ABY: 5,000 Soldiers
• 501 ABY - 521 ABY: 1 Million Soldiers
• 521 ABY - Present:    5 Million Soldiers

* The Mandalorian Protectors Training School opened in 316 ABY on Concordia. This started the official training of the Protectors. Before this, the Mandalorian Protectors were trained exclusively by members of their clan. Therefore, in 521 ABY, besides their numbers dramatically increasing instantly, under the command of new appointed commander of the Protectors, Gwan Ransurk, the Protectors also switched from calling their troopers "warriors," to calling them soldiers. This was because they were now officially trained as an army.*
**There was no official leader of the Protectors from its creation in 237 ABY until Ronler became the commander of the Protectors in 275 ABY. During that time, the officers of the4 Protectors ruled as an oligarchy. They would assign one officer the command of the Proctors for one campaign, and another for the next. They finally ditched this idea in 275 ABY, when Sid Ronler became the first commander of the Protectors.**

Leaders of the Mandalorian Protectors

  1.  Commander Sid Ronler (249 ABY Mandalore - 325 ABY Mandalore)

• He was a member of Clan Ronler of House Ronler
• He was the commander of the Mandalorian Protectors  for 50 years from 275 ABY - 325 ABY
• Ronler was the first commander of the Protectors.
• Ronler died of old age in 325 ABY on his homeworld of Mandalore

  2.  Commander Oven Backshil (293 ABY Mandalore - 393 ABY Stobar)

• He was a Captain in the Mandalorian Protectors (the only one at that point) from 314 ABY - 325 ABY.
• He was the Commander of the Mandalorian Protectors for 68 years from 325 ABY - 393 ABY.
• He became the commander of the Protectors immediately after Ronler's death.
• In 393 ABY, after protecting Mandalore from numerous invasions of any scale for almost seven decades, and occasionally being assigned to take care of incidents on other planets, he was assigned to help members of he galaxy's newest species, the Masshota, as well as any other Stobarian citizens protect their planet from falling into the hands of the Flare Empire. The citizens backed by the Republic outnumbered the ones backed by the Empire 22 Million to 5 Million. However, the Masshota that were working for the Flare Empire had built Masshota Class Stealth Star Destroyers which were capable using cloaking devices helping them sneak in undetected, and wipe out vast numbers of  Republic forces. These star destroyers were the cause of Backshil's ultimate demise. This battle is known as the 2nd Battle of Stobar.

  3.  Commander Kun Lunner (322 ABY Concord Dawn - 396 ABY Vanqor)

• He was a Lieutenant in the Mandalorian Protectors (the only one at that point) from 345 ABY - 357 ABY.
• He was a Captain in the Mandalorian Protectors (the only one at that point) from 357 ABY - 393 ABY.
• Following Backshil's death in 393 ABY, Lunner was promoted to commander of the Mandalorian Protectors. A rank he held from 393 ABY until his death in 396 ABY.
• Lunner was killed during the 3rd Battle of Vanqor (of which only 500 out of the 1,000 current members of the Protectors went to), one of eleven battles fought nearly simultaneously in order to eradicate the Flare Empire and the Criminal Alliance.

  4.  Commander Ledna Dalgas [died 404 ABY Raxus (Secundus) (or simply Raxus)]

• Born on Celanon
• Dalgas was the commander of the Mandalorian Protectors from 397 ABY - 401 ABY.
• It took a few months until she was promoted after the death of Kun Lunner because the Protectors were dealing with replenishing their almost completely depleted ranks from the 3rd Battle of Vanqor, as well as expanding their numbers drastically (from 1,000 to 5000).
• In 401 ABY, after fully helping the protectors adjust to their new numbers, she decided to resign from her position as the commander of the Protectors to become a Mandalorian mercenary doing any task that anyone was willing to pay her for.
• In 404 ABY, Dalgas was assigned to go to Raxus, (which joined the Togruta Empire a year earlier), and help free a few insurgencies from Imperial grasp. The planet still had a few remote areas that were Pro-Republic (which is where these insurgents were located), and she was assigned to help the insurgents fight off the Togruta Empire's attacks in these areas before the rest of the planet's population and the leaders of the Togruta Empire realized what was happening. Dalgas' mission started out very well, with her routing out and destroying many Togruta Empire droids, and a few Togruta Empire officers. However, Darth Tagaros, and Darth Tyria eventually showed up immensely overpowering Dalgas and the small group of pro-republic insurgents, wiping them all out.

• In 470 ABY, he was given his last assignment, which was to take out Helun Solaris, and her daughter, fellow Mandalorian bounty hunter Northa Solaris. However, this failed, and he was ultimately killed by the infamous mother - daughter bounty hunter duo.

  6.  Commander Asache Arp (died 473 ABY Knownest)

• Born on Kalevala
• He was a captain in the Mandalorian Protectors from 466 ABY - 470 ABY

   12. Commander Mat Odbedwa (died 512 ABY Zygerria)

• His family was on vacation on Zygerria when he was born.

• From there, he finally started his true Mandalorian training conducted by his family, and at age sixteen, he enlisted in the Mandalorian Protectors Training School, graduating six years later, taking up the rank of lieutenant in the Protectors.
• By the time of Hasonu Acrux's death in 505 ABY, Odbedwa was a colonel in the Protectors.
• Odbedwa wound up being promoted to commander following Acrux's death, a rank he held until his death in 512 ABY.
• It is interesting to note that Odbedwa was killed on Zygerria, the same planet he was born on when his parents were on vacation.

(Most Protectors take a minimum of one, and most often three years longer than Ransurk took to graduate, showing she was an exemplary student.)
• She was lieutenant for just ten days after graduating from the Mandalorian Protectors Training School. At that point, she was promoted straight to major.
• She was a major in the Mandalorian Protectors from 516 ABY - 517 ABY
• She was a colonel in the Mandalorian Protectors from 517 ABY - 521 ABY
• In 521 ABY, Ransurk realized that a million man strong army was not enough to protect Mandalore. Therefore, she proposed the expansion of the army from 1 Million to 5 Million. The Mandalorian and Republic governments both accepted this request. (The Mandalorians had to agree on this first before it was brought to the Republic Senate, since it was a reform of their army, not a Republic army.) At that point, Ransurk oversaw her planned massive expansion that made the army five times its previous size.
• Ransurk was the commander of the Mandalorian Protectors from 521 ABY - 528 ABY. At that point they renamed the rank General.

The citizens backed by the Republic outnumbered the ones backed by the Empire 22 Million to 5 Million. However, the Masshota that were working for the Flare Empire had built Masshota Class Stealth Star Destroyers, which were capable using cloaking devices helping them sneak in undetected, and wipe out vast numbers of forces. Due to their failure to protect Stobar, Commander Kun Lunner, Morgil and the other surviving Protectors were forced to retreat from Stobar back to Mandalore, firmly handing the planet to the Flare Empire.

She still pretended to be working for the Republic by helping out the Mandalorians and the Republic during many missions, destroying 1,500 droids made by the Togruta Empire, and killing many people who worked for the Togruta Empire. Nevertheless, her early days working as a Togruta Empire bounty hunter also proved to be successful, with her secretly killing 6,000 Republic citizens, of which roughly half were fellow Mandalorians.

• Secretly she set detonators at various spots of the Mandalorian Protectors Fortress, killing anyone who saw her doing this in the process to buy their silence (but not if they didn't see anything, and just saw her in the building. In this case, she pretended to still be on their side.
• After she detonated parts of the Protectors' Fortress, she aided them in protecting the fortress, taking out dozens of Hawk Droids (the Togruta Empire's droid for sky battles), before the Sith Lord Darth Kirra showed up. At that point, she turned around, and started openly killing her former compatriots, forcing many of them to retreat, while contacting their forces telling the Republic that Solaris was a traitor.
• Meanwhile, Solaris, escaped under the protection of some Hawk Droids, while Darth Kirra Force Teleported from the scene.
• Over the next sixty one years, Helun Solaris really made a name for herself as the best bounty hunter in the galaxy, working directly for the Togruta Empire, and occasionally allowing herself to be up for hire by other groups.
