X-Wing: Rise of a Rogue

Part One of the Darvix Zorvan trilogy

(Two years after the Adumar Situation)

Disclaimer: The characters of this tale belong to the greats, George Lucas, Michael Stackpole, Aaron Allston, and so forth. Darvix Zorvan was created by myself, so let me know if you want to use him.

Acknowledgments:

First and foremost, thank you to George Lucas, for creating a phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations. Michael A. Stackpole, for giving life to the Rogues and proving that 'We don't need no stinkin' Jedi!' Aaron Allston for proving Star Wars could be just like an episode of M*A*S*H. Also to former Lucasarts great Lawrence Holland and his team for creating the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance PC games.

I would also like to thank four good friends of mine. Without the help of Astronut, Carr, Myra, and Inyri I could never have finished this story.

A Note from the Author:

Rise of a Rogue is the first part of a trilogy that follows the adventures of Darvix Zorvan. The tale spans over a decade of his life, detailing his many adventures, triumphs, and tragedies. Unfortunately for you, the reader, I must be upfront and say that the first part of this trilogy was written while I was a sophomore in high school. To put that into perspective, I'm a junior in college now. The writing in Rise of a Rogue is largely untouched from where it was back in 2004/2005. Quite simply, the quality of this fic pales in comparison to my more recent work. This trilogy is approximately 670 pages in total, with Rise of a Rogue comprising the first 190 or so pages. I can promise you that the overall quality of this story improves dramatically in the sequel fics.

I can also assure you that the entire fic is completed. Several weeks ago I placed the final touches on the third and final novella. Because of that, I will be able to update on a regular Monday through Friday schedule.

Again, I apologize for how rough the first portion of this trilogy is. When time permits, I will revisit portions of Rise of a Rogue to add and revise.

Thank you for taking the time to read this story!
