When Does Galactic Racer Take Place?

Place Galactic Racer after the Empire’s fall, as the New Republic rebuilds and the underground Galactic League rises, without inventing a precise ABY year.

Quick answer

Galactic Racer takes place after the Empire’s fall, while the New Republic is rebuilding. Its racing scene centers on the underground Galactic League in the Outer Rim. The cited official descriptions do not assign a precise ABY year.

The political backdrop

The official game description frames a galaxy rebuilding after Imperial rule. The League provides the racing context for Shade’s story; this is not a recreation of one film’s race scene.

The racers at the center of the story

The story trailer introduces Shade and Kestar Bool, with Hibi as the mechanic. Sebulba also appears. A returning character is not enough to calculate an exact calendar year from the promotional description.

Lore context and campaign structure

The era explains the world; the campaign guide explains how tours and progression work within it. Keep those questions separate if your goal is deciding how to play rather than dating every event in the wider Star Wars timeline.
