YE 42 is the current in-character Yamataian Calendar year. It began on January 1, 2020.

The Kuvexian War enters its fifth and deadliest year. In the aftermath of the Kuvexian Invasion of YE 41, the Kikyo Sector is thrown into chaos as the Star Army of Yamatai and other military forces struggle to defend their planets without sacrificing their remaining starships to the massive enemy fleet, and space travel is plagued by Kuvexian piracy. As Kuvexian settlers set up on the captured worlds, they are undermined by insurgencies led by fighters and citizens stuck behind enemy lines…
