A long time ago in a high school far, far away…
Star High: Before the Awakening
A shadow has been cast across STAR HIGH. Where once there was hope and peace, now there is fear and the looming clouds of confrontation. The ORDER CORPORATION is rising for control of the school, and the CITY COUNCIL may be powerless to stop it.
Among the students at STAR HIGH, several individuals will find themselves drawn into the heart of this conflict. Each of them will play a vital role in what is to come. Each of them will face darkness. Each of them will struggle to reach the light…or not.
KYLO REN is struggling for his beliefs against the role of his mother, VICE-PRINCIPAL LEIA ORGANA, and the wishes of his private mentor, PRINCIPAL SNOKE. HUX is a member of the STUDENT COUNCIL, hoping to bring justice to STAR HIGH. PHASMA is the lacrosse team captain, and will do whatever is needed to ensure victory.
FINN is a TRANSFER STUDENT, trained to be on the lacrosse team at the whims of the ORDER CORPORATION siding STUDENT COUNCIL. He is plagued with doubt. On the outskirts of town, a girl called REY struggles to manage her schooling and workload at a junkyard. And among the school's football stars, POE DAMERON strives to serve a cause he has always believed in, as sinister threats try to break his resolve.
These are their stories in the days, weeks, and months before THE AWAKENING.
So, this will be my own version of a Star Wars high school fic. Instead of starting with The Force Awakens though, I'll be starting with Before the Awakening, the three-part short story prequel book. I feel like it sets the scene nicely for The Force Awakens, so you can get an idea of who has what role in this AU. It'll also give me a chance to set up some backstory for the Dark Trio, including my favourite ginger space nazi.
Sorry this is short, but it's Star Wars, so I feel like a crawl-esque introduction is required. :P In the future, if you haven't seen TFA or read BTA, there will most likely be spoilers...somewhat.
I don't own Star Wars, Before the Awakening, The Force Awakens, etc.
I'll try to get the first chapter up as soon as possible, but college and other fanfic ideas like to attack my life a lot. But if you review, I may be tempted to update faster. *wink wink*
