Noblebright Stories

What happened after the destruction of the First Death Star? With the Imperial Senate dissolved and the Emperor's dread superweapon destroyed, the Empire is thrown into a political crisis. This story takes place shortly after the events of A New Hope and features appearances of classic characters including Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa along with an original cast of new characters, including scheming Imperials, plucky Rebels, and shadowy crime lords. This work of fan fiction lives in the grey area between the current canon and Legends, borrowing from both but belonging to neither. While this story may involve a variety of plot elements, the central theme is to explore the political and social consequences which the destruction of the fictional Death Star must have had on the Star Wars universe. In this, I am endeavoring to create a work which furthers the understanding of this fictional situation in what I hope is a transformative (albeit faithful) manner. In places where the story contradicts any current or former canonical source, it is either because I made a deliberate choice to do so, or I simply made an error somewhere or other.

Under Construction.

"...Each of these characters emerges from wildly differing circumstances, and have unique perspectives and goals, which don't always neatly align with those of their companions, and in some cases can leave them wondering if they're even fighting on the right side. It's that searching and self-doubt -- all while being swept up by larger events -- that makes these players in this little drama so fascinating." -Doug Bedwell, Author of "A Counterfeit Princess" and "Robot Captain" This story is based on the setting and system of the table-top role-playing game, "A Tale of Heroes" By Mark Hansen, Brendon Hansen, and Jacob Hansen. It's a family-friendly, story-driven system designed to help families enjoy time together. Roll Dice - Build Character

No, this is not an official work, like my last story, simply a fanfic, with added elements. Trails of darkness, Is no longer canon in my fanfic's lore. I do not own any of the videos or pictures used in the making of this Fanfic series, and all content goes to original creators. This is the real first book of the series, the prequel will be modified to fit the lore established in THIS book. Also, some of the grammar in the first few chapters is . . . Questionable, to say the least, but please ignore my rushing to get chapters out at first, because it gets better later on.
