Director Orson Krennic has allowed the brilliant scientist, Galen Erso, to slip through his fingers. Now, he must deal with the repercussions of his failure, and simultaneously attempt to advance the Death Star project, minus the driving force behind its scientific development.

My take on the events between the novel Rogue One: Catalyst and A New Hope. I created the main ideas before the release of the Rogue One movie, which is why the events would not be possible as a result of the events of the movie. This is my first attempt at extended writing, I would appreciate any reviews and tips.
