Logline
''Thousands of years before the lives of the Skywalkers existed a far more dangerous galaxy. After years under siege, the dreaded Sith Empire has amassed it's strength and begins its plans to crush the peaceful republic and conquer the galaxy. Among the many new recruits in the Sith Order, stands a young pureblood who must face the challenges that lay before him as he climbs the ladder of the complex Sith hierarchy. But this acolyte has no love for the Empire or it's cruel ways. So when his ambitious master plants the seed of doubt in his mind, it sets him on a path of rebellion. Each test he faces and every friend he loses pushes him one step closer to abandoning his Empire and fighting back against the regime that had enslaved him.''

Behind the Scenes
In August 2018, author Jacob Burbidge began to draw plans to make a Star Wars fan film set in the Old Republic Era. Whilst attending university and taking lessons on writing from author William Sutton, Burbidge decided to write out the story instead.

In December 2018, visual artist Isatonic had joined the project as illustrator.

In January of 2019, Burbidge decided to change the format of the novel from a published book to an e-book written on the Alternate Star Wars Wiki site. This was due to the copyright complications of writing a published novel under the name of Star Wars. The increasing difficulty of getting permission for the book's release eventually led to Burbidge's decision to publish it on the Fandom website rather than with an official publisher.

In May of 2019, the novel was finished and entered post production stage. Illustrator Isatonic began working on the front cover for the novel.

The novel was released on May 20th, 2019.
