Actually, they're not being very helpful in the manual...it's still open to debate. I know Jedi Knight takes place after ROTJ - in the opening text it mentions the destruction of the 2nd Deathstar - and the
Behind The Magic timeline places it 4 years post ANH. So if you assume Kyle's quest takes him up to 1 year to complete, and add the 9 years mentioned in the manual, then Jedi Outcast is approximately 10 years after ROTJ, or 13-14 years post ANH. Novels set 12-13 years post ANH include
Children of the Jedi,
Darksaber,
Planet of Twilight and 14 years post ANH...
The Crystal Star.
Incidentally, MotS takes place 10 years ANH, which is based around 5-6 years after JK, and comes just
before the
Jedi Academy trilogy. Hope that helps.
