Star Wars: The Age of Peace

Fifty years after the Battle of Yavin, the galaxy finds itself in a fragile state of recovery. Scarred by the Yuuzhan Vong War and Darth Caedus’s reign, countless worlds and individuals struggle to rebuild from decades of devastation. Amid the fractured alliances of the reformed New Republic, the Imperial Remnants, and independent coalitions, the Jedi Order stands as a beacon of hope. On Yavin 4, the Jedi Temple serves as a sanctuary for Force-sensitive children, offering them a chance to heal and find purpose. Among the new arrivals is Kael Varo, formerly Kael Valtherion, a boy who abandoned his Imperial noble heritage to embrace the path of the Jedi. Alongside him is Vila Saresh, a twi'lek freed from slavery, haunted by her past but determined to find a brighter future. As these Padawans confront their own traumas, they uncover the lingering echoes of ancient threats: Sith artifacts, Yuuzhan Vong technology, and the ideological scars left by Darth Caedus, still twisting others, even after his death. Guided by the wisdom of Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, the young Jedi must learn that being a Jedi is not merely about mastering the Force but about finding unity and courage in a galaxy still divided. ------ Author's notes: Hey-ho people! Welcome to my Star Wars fanfiction, which is told from a first-person point of view. For a bit of background information and what to expect, you must know a few things about me: My first introduction to Star Wars was on VHS, so I am not a newcomer to the setting. I was a child when there was only the trilogy and a teen when the prequels happened. I grew up reading the Expanded Universe and with the stories and exploits of Luke. This story of mine will take place in 50 ABY, right after the Expanded Universe mostly stopped producing stories. Writing it, anything that happened after the Disney acquisition is going to be ignored. This even includes the Mandalorian series because no matter how good the first season was, it was built on a foundation made out of sand. Proof: Book of Boba Fett and the third season. I'll try my very best to stay true to the original vision of what made Star Wars so captivating. Expect weekly chapters!

Dawn of the Dauntless

In the year 2029, a mysterious tech company named Primordial emerges, rapidly overtaking the global tech industry. Its breakthrough product, Portalis, a cutting-edge virtual reality gaming capsule, becomes an instant sensation. Alongside Portalis, Primordial releases Dawn of the Dauntless, a VRMMORPG that promises unprecedented freedom and immersion. Players flock to experience the game’s limitless possibilities, where they can create unique skills, build kingdoms, and interact with NPCs as if they were real people. Among the millions of players, one group rises above the rest 'The Heartless Guild', an elite coalition of the world’s most dedicated gamers. Though their name suggests ruthlessness, they treat NPCs with respect, believing the game world to be more than a mere simulation. Convinced that Dawn of the Dauntless is a gateway to another reality, they even form bonds with NPCs, some going as far as marrying them. The guild’s leaders, the six most powerful players in the world, unite to create The Republic of the Heartless, a harmonious nation where players and NPCs coexist. However, the game’s idyllic world is shattered when Primordial announces a major update after months of silence. As players eagerly log in, a terrifying event unfolds—1.8 billion players vanish from the real world, their bodies disappearing without a trace. The shocking truth becomes apparent: everyone who logged into the game has become trapped within its vast, digital universe, unable to log out. As panic spreads across the globe, governments and scientists scramble to make sense of the catastrophe, but no answers emerge. Inside the game, the trapped players face a new, darker reality—the world of Dawn of the Dauntless has become their new home, and their quest for survival has just begun. Now, the leaders of The Heartless Guild must rally their forces, uncover the truth behind Primordial’s creation, and navigate a world where fantasy and reality have merged—while the outside world remains in turmoil, desperately seeking the lost billions.
