Galactic Outlaws

Galaxy's Edge, Book Two

Galaxy’s Edge is told out of sequence. Book two is an expansive interlude between the stories of Legionnaire and Kill Team, for reasons that will become obvious throughout the series.

Years have passed since the battle of Kublar, and Wraith is in deep cover for Legion Dark Ops, living a second life on the edge as an irreverent smuggler and bounty hunter under the alias of Captain Keel.

Looking back, they called those turbulent times simply: The Troubles.

A period of chaotic upheaval and destruction that sent the Republic reeling through successive crises, each growing more desperate as the galaxy spun out of control. Exactly when The Troubles started was open to interpretation—after the Savage Wars, the action on Psydon, the forced migration of the zhee, the Mid-Core Rebellion, Kublar, Goth Sullus, the Cybar, or the return of the lost Savages led by their messiah, the Golden King.

Angles of Attack

Dark Operator, Book Five

The galaxy follows a logical structure.

To know the order of battle and how an enemy unit was organized was to know its purpose and how to destroy it. That logic existed down to the smallest scale, down to what made up life itself. To know a molecule’s structure was to know its function – they were one and the same. It was no different for Kel. He was Dark Ops and Dark Ops was him. Down to his last cell and very soul.

Legionnaire Eternal

Dark Operator, Book Six

Who stands as the model of the ideal legionnaire?
