I've made a timeline page for the galactic history of Cyrannus, which should give you some idea about how it works. The Cyrannian calendar is divided into two eras, with years since 01 NE—marking the first year of the —being referred to as the "New Era", while the preceding period is aptly referred to as "Before New Era", thus the BNE/NE system. The last year Before New Era was 01 BNE, while the first year of the New Era was 01 NE, there's no year zero.

For example, you mentioned Apollo's birth and the establishment of the New Republic. Apollo was born in 31 BNE, which is thirty one years before the establishment of the Empire. The New Republic was formed three years after the establishment of the Empire (03 NE), and thus Apollo was thirty four at the time.

The Cyrannian calander is made up of six months, Ianuaria, Martex, Iunius, Novemex, Dekemurios and Neochios, which are each roughly twice as long as an Earth month, though a year is more or less the same length. However, out-of-universe, the Cyrannian calendar isn't compatible with the Terran calendar, since my fiction tends to move a bit slower. However, the year 15 NE (the year in which the began), is generally considered to correspond with 2820.
