Star Wars: A New Dawn

Product Information

Hera's beauty was remarked upon too often and it was annoying. Females aren't mythical creatures. Geesh! The game follows a young virgin Victoria, she's a daughter of a powerful duke. The human cities and lands gets invaded and all good in men is killed, they might still be living but not with the same morals as the world is turned into chaos. Your task is to find a way to reunite with your family, seems easy but when you can't trust anyone in this new world of chaos, it turns out to be a hard goal to reach.

new minor factions that roam the world. All of them can form armies and attempt to take a castle. If they succeed, a new faction will be formed and behave like the regular ones. There can thus be up to 17 factions at the same time (although such a high number is very unlikely). 12 new castle have also been added. The novel is set between the third and fourth movie during the glory days of the Empire. The focus is on a planet without rotation and its accompanying moon, which is one of the main provider's of thorilide, a resource the Empire needs to build its Star Destroyers. We have Caleb, who was a Jedi in training when the Empire took over the Republic and now lives in hiding by working as a pilot under an alias. Another resident of Cynda and its planet Gorse is Skelly, who had become a thorn in his mining company’s side for constantly, loudly predicting that their efforts could lead to the destruction of the planet. His complaints turn to sabotage when his boss refuses to listen, and throughout the book he’s portrayed as just unhinged enough to be dangerous.

Development log

Setting was all right - nothing to ring any bells about, in my opinion. Mining colony, problems, some interesting capital ships and a twist (no spoilers). The book also gives Admiral Rae Sloane---one of the few female Imperial officers of high rank---a bigger part than in other books. She’s an interesting character, and one that I think should be developed further.

Wounded agents now deal less damage, are slower and less accurate. Ironflesh and First aid reduce these penalties for heroes.The villain of the book was a strong one. Many times, especially when it comes to Star Wars, the story is only as good as the villain is bad. Count Denetrius Vidian is a cyborg, like Grievous before him, but we actually learn more about his past than we do with Grievous (at least Episode III's iteration of the character). He's augmented himself with the latest and greatest of just about everything to increase efficiency and productivity. In charge of meeting the Empire's insane thorilide quota, he is a one man reign of terror. And he causes plenty of trouble for our rebels. I also think many readers will appreciate the diversity of characters in this book, and they aren't stereotypes. We got humans both male and female, light skinned and dark skinned, aliens both male and female, and cyborgs. While Hera might be just a tad objectified in some scenes, it's only when the book focuses on Kanan's point of view, and it works just fine because that's part of Kanan's characterization in A New Dawn. Even then, despite being a female twi'lek, Hera is never truly sexualized- they never put her in a dancer's outfit or force her to be a sex slave.

Extroverted and flirty you catched his eye at first glance. He wants you to be his boyfriend? or maybe he's just horny for you? Who knows.

Is everything okay with Joffrey?”, Laenor asked Luke, who was sitting next to him. Aegon looked up to be able to better understand his answer. “He is fine. It has just been a while since he has seen you.” That was the most diplomatic answer one could give in this situation. Luke had definitely spent too much time with Daeron lately. Their gaze’s met and Aegon nodded at him. The trace of a smile passed Luke’s lips before he continued eating. Together they left the bedchamber and walked into the main hall. Prince Leanor Velaryon and Ser Qarl Correy were already standing next to the painted table. Both were dressed in riding gear, their hair messy from the flight. “Father, Ser Qarl”, Jace greeted the prince consort and his lover. “Welcome to Dragonstone. What can we do for you?” Personally I would have loved to see a bigger scheme/plot and would have liked a bit more of star hopping, cause the novel mainly stays in one system and could have made more use of the vast Star Wars universe.
