|Star Wars: The Chosen is a work of Star Wars fan-fiction written by NKSCF and published on |FanFiction.net. It follows Jedi Master Ken Elegin as he receives a vision from a mysterious source that claims he is needed to gather a group of Jedi, traitors, and civilians in order to fight a bent on possessing a malignant power that could give him control of the entire Galaxy. The story is currently on-going, and is planned to have thirty-three chapters, as well as one prologue and epilogue.

Part I: The Search
Two years after the fight with the Lost Tribe of Sith, Jedi Master Ken Elegin receives a vision from an unknown source, and discovers that a monstrous creature mired in dark side energies will envelop the Galaxy and kill all sentient life. Recently the Jedi have foreseen their destruction, but their search into Sith-affiliated worlds has come up with no evidence of any threat existing and the search was called off. After being shown the planet and being told to head there, Ken is accosted by Jedi Master Kyle Katarn, who has become wary of Ken due to his frequent absences from the Jedi Order to find his place in the Galaxy. As the two debate their differences, they find that a recent mission to find a missing Jedi named Sothais Saar has discovered that he is no more, murdered by his contacts inside of Hutt Space, where he had attempted to get the Hutts to abolish slavery. Learning this, Kyle reveals to Ken that his former apprentice, was killed on  during the search for information on the hidden threat, and that he wanted to go there himself, but was forced to stay on  by his fellow Council members, who feared losing yet another Jedi Master as they had in years past.

Behind the scenes
Star Wars: The Chosen is NKSCF's attempt to branch off from his earlier works, which were considered on the site to rely too much on Mary Sue-ish qualities that detracted from otherwise great ideas. In order to distance himself from these works, NKSCF came up with an idea to find a canon Sue and work it so that he or she had flaws and could be respected. During a visit to TVTropes, NKSCF found out that many fans considered Ken from the '' series to be such a Sue. From there he came up with a way to incorporate Ken into a story that he was already planning that dealt with obscure or rarely used characters from canon to give them a chance to be in the spotlight. This was sparked by a visit to Wookieepedia, where NKSCF read about the Jedi healer. Knowing that he was unlikely to be used too much in the future, NKSCF made Shul the first character for his fan-fic, and then built the story around Shul and Ken, filling other characters in to make the story more stable.
