Preface
''At the confluence of two great pathways through hyperspace lies a city-world of five-hundred-billion souls. It stands at the edge of civilization, the border between Core and Rim. Overlooked by many, and neglected by even those who call it home, its metal bones date to the founding of civilization, and hold secrets to shake its core. It a time of rising crisis, it may be the hinge upon which the history of the galaxy swings. One Jedi Knight must dare this unforgiving cityscape, and forge strength from world and people. Allies will aid her, enemies will oppose her, and a terrible darkness shall watch and wait to render all for naught. These are the Tales of Denon, a world, its people, and the Force.''

Development
This project began in late 2011, as a concept by the author to utilize a single planet with a highly varied population as a setting for stories that would feature many species and detailed history in the Star Wars galaxy. Denon, as a world with a vast population, significant trade, and membership in the was chosen from several possible candidates. That the planet has had only minimal appearances in canon was also an important criterion.

The project officially began in February 2012 with the publication of Dusty Salvo, the first work in the series.

Development is ongoing.
