The 690s BBY, alternatively referred to as the 690s Before the Battle of Yavin, constituted a decade as defined by the Galactic Standard Calendar, occurring within the era of the Great Peace of the Republic. In this time, the Judicial Forces of the Galactic Republic were instrumental in the Battles of the Black Delve.
The decade of the 690s BBY was first presented to the audience in The Essential Guide to Warfare, a reference book published in 2012 by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.
