Star Wars has always been big on their timeline, which is good. It helps keep things organized. While the film and television entries in the Star Wars universe have stayed within the Skywalker Saga, the novels have expanded the world while keeping the story consistent with few timeline errors.
The Great Hyperspace Disaster happened during the construction of Starlight, and the disaster showed a good amount of weakness that the republic had before Starlight, like not having a strong enough signal to send out help or Jedi or other warriors were close enough to help during the disaster. The Hyperspace Disaster happened because the Legacy Run was destroyed in hyperspace due to an object in the same path lanes.
