The more I think about it, the more I was just confusing myself by saying I wanted to adapt all these things. I like the plot setup for The Old Republic, but a majority of what we need to use for a basis comes from Legacy. Therefore, our original timeline (if not the exact one from Legacy) will do just fine. Just in case, though, I'm going to list the elements from each year following Episode VI that I like best, to see if there is anything we can adapt into something original for our project:
 * 4 ABY
 * The Rebel Alliance was reorganized into the Alliance of Free Planets one week after the Alliance's victory at the Battle of Endor, with Endor as its center.
 * 6 ABY
 * The New Republic launched its campaign to free Coruscant.
 * 10 ABY
 * The New Republic was driven off Coruscant.
 * Emperor Palpatine returned in a clone body and took control of the new galactic Dark Empire.
 * Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker pledged himself to the reborn Palpatine, but was soon turned back by his sister, Leia Organa Solo, and they destroyed Palpatine and all but one of his clones.
 * 11 ABY
 * Palpatine, in his last clone body, attempted to transfer his spirit into the infant Anakin Solo, but was shot by Han Solo, and his spirit was trapped forever in the Netherworld of the Force.

 * The New Republic reoccupies Coruscant, thus reclaiming authority of the galaxy.
 * Operation Shadow Hand was halted with the final death of Emperor Palpatine.

There's a bit much from the Pre-Episode I timelines for me to create a list like this, but here's some stuff we could consider adapting the basic principles of. For things taking place close to Episode VI in this list (such as the return of Palpatine in a clone body), I only wanted to suggest we use the concepts behind these events (after a first death, for example, Darth Decimus can come back as a clone or attempt to possess someone through the Force).

From this list, it also looks as if our timeline would be about 127-139 ABY. Anything after that would be EU for our canon timeline.

That said, which concept art design do you like better for our canon Darth Talon (new name TBD): A, B, C, D, or E?
