Allegiance

Imagine stormtroopers who believed in the mission to bring order to the Empire and to fight for the rights of its citizens. These stormtroopers despise the corruption of senior officials and long to turn the wrongs right. This is their story.

This story takes place during the time between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, so Luke hasn't formally trained with Yoda and Han and Leia are at each other like we see at the beginning of Empire Strikes Back. It should be noted that this story is part of what is now referred to as a Legends novel, so no longer considered canon. Zahn continues to be my favorite Star Wars author and this selection is a great example of why he is a fan favorite.
