Star Wars: The Tragedy of Damien Nightblade

"The darkest chapter of the Alternative Saga back-story yet. A must read."

- Laurent Corbeil, TheStarWarsRP.Com

Star Wars: The Tragedy of Damien Nightblade, sometimes abbreviated TTODN, is a fan novel written by a group of members from TheStarWarsRP.Com as a direct sequel to Star Wars: The End of Life As We Know It and part of Brandon Rhea’s Alternative Star Wars Saga. The novel takes place eighty years before the Battle of Yavin and deals primarily with the after effects of Damien Nightblade’s sinister discovery at the end of TEOLAWKI, as well as his brutal relationship with former friend Ranka Darkbroode. The novel serves as a prelude to events that happen later in the universe of the Alternative Star Wars Saga, particularly the Clone War and the Galactic Civil War.

The authors devote much of the novel to the brutal transformation of Damien Nightblade into one of the Star Wars Saga’s most mysterious icons, as well as the guilt and regret that Ranka Darkbroode must go through for letting it happen. The novel shows the demise of many characters that played pivotal roles in the Great Territorial War and the wars that followed. A few new characters are introduced as well who, along with their descendants, will also play major roles in galactic affairs later in the Alternative Star Wars Saga.
