How Galaxy’s Edge Began
Veterans of storytelling and the military, Jason Anspach and Nick Cole teamed up to craft Galaxy’s Edge, driven by a shared love for gritty sci-fi and galactic adventure. Inspired by Star Wars’ epic scope and their own experiences, they envisioned a universe where soldiers’ camaraderie and moral dilemmas take center stage. Launched in 2017 with Legionnaire, the series quickly gained traction for its authentic combat scenes and expansive lore, growing into a beloved franchise.
The Heart of Galaxy’s Edge
The series kicks off with Legionnaire, where Sergeant Cohen Chhun and Victory Company face a deadly ambush on Kublar, fighting to survive against treacherous aliens and shifting alliances. Galactic Outlaws shifts gears, following bounty hunter Tyrus Rechs and smuggler Captain Keel as they unravel a galaxy-wide conspiracy. Later, Savage Wars, a prequel, dives into Tyrus Rechs’ past, exploring the brutal origins of the Legion against monstrous post-human foes. Takeover introduces Season Two, with mercenaries tackling mysteries on Kublar’s deserts, weaving new characters into the saga.
Galaxy’s Edge shines through its themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the cost of power, set in a richly detailed galaxy ruled by the corrupt House of Reason. Its style—cinematic battles paired with character-driven drama—evokes both military realism and space opera grandeur. From alien tribes to sleek starfighters, the setting feels lived-in, with every blaster shot and betrayal grounded in a universe that expands with each book.
