Description
It is a long time ago in a galaxy far far away... For more than nine centuries the Galactic Republic has been ever expanding, yet all is not well. The Republic is a rotting carcass, corrupted through and through. The ecumenopolis of Coruscant is the jeweled throne upon which the Republic sits, yet it too is just another hive world of scum and villainy. Even the Jedi Temple of Coruscant is becoming internally divided on the matter of petty politics. And soon, it will become worse. Forget the promises of peace and compromise, for in the grim dark past there is no peace amongst the stars, only a temporary reprieve from the nightmare of abominations during which the laughter of the Sith, who have been planning and waiting for a moment just like this, can be heard…
You, a former Navigator of the Navis Nobilite – the Navigator Houses for the Imperium of Man – have been born anew in an unfamiliar world. But you do not know your future, nor your past. You will have to relearn the tools of your previous glories as well as explore the mysteries of the Force. Good luck, and may the Warp be with you.

- Scrund3rRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0As another person has mentioned, this story is written in the 2nd person, which I thought would make it annoying to read. I was pleasantly surprised. The story is very well-written and integrates Warhammer very well into the Star Wars universe, as well as being accurate to both Star Wars and Warhammer lore.
- AcryphysxiaRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5I've only read up to 1-10, but I can theorougly say I enjoyed it.
GRAMMAR; I, myself am average on grammar, but I can say I don't see any blaring grammar problems that detract from my enjoyment.
STORY/CHARACTER:
The story and characters itself were very enjoyable. As the plot take place within the universe of Star Wars, you'll obviously hear snippets of the main cast of the star wars franchise and the major characters, but it doesn't impede the story or characters in any way. The obvious main character is you. The supporting characters feel very natural, and it's almost as if I'm reading about a sentient being instead of flat and 2D character. The MC does have a special power that seems to be a different type of power that seems to be separate from the already well known Force and Dark Side.
WRITING STYLE:
It definitely was my first time reading from a 2ND POV, but the author made it very fluid and natural as if it's being read out to by a narrator as you're following along with the story. It even reminds me a bit of my gameplay from Divinity: Original Sin 2 as it's often narrated.
All in all I'm looking forwards to the story , and how it'll develop. Keep it up author! I'm really enjoying it so far. - Machine HellRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0i liked it .I would have liked it more if the grimdark powers of the warp in 40K were melloved and softened only . only a tiny bit by the whole star wars.But over all its good usually there are no novel that talk about things like o the force exist then shouldn´T there be species whit great force power or creaure that were made literally by the force well lol .Not a bad novel i widh authoer continues
- Davey daveRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5It's written in second person for some reason, though it jumps between third and second periodically which is definitely not ideal. Likely due to it being a read only version of a quest, personally second person isn't for me, but it is otherwise entertaining.
The story itself however is very entertaining
If it was in first or third person, and didn't keep switching between second and third I would have given it a rating of 4.5 stars - RainbowFoxRoyal Road★★★★ 3.5Interesting execution of Star wars / Warhammer 40k fanfic. Author knows both worlds enough that there are no major problems with that. Characters have distinct and interesting personalities. No major character that you will hate their guts (At least I did not).
Problem starts with decision making of main character. Why some things happen, that are totally stupid. The answer is quest. Some of situation are decided by coin/dice toss, some are author preferences and some choices are voted by readers on the forum, where this story is created. This result in many situation where you will try very hard not to tear your hairs, but that makes this story not completely linear where MC doesn't steam roll everything or he/she is too much OP and so on.
