In the spirit of everything being connected and different eras of Star Wars influencing others, the Halcyon – the central vessel of Galactic Starcruiser – will be appearing in The High Republic era of storytelling, kicking off with Star Wars: The High Republic: Mission to Disaster, which lands 4th January 2022.
“Storywise, there is an incident that requires the Jedi and the Republic to act quickly, and they need a big, powerful ship to come to the rescue, and the Halcyon answers that call. And when it does, it sets an example for other ships to answer that call,” Siglain says. “Of course, something as high-profile as the Halcyon also attracts the attention of the Nihil.”
The Halcyon will also be seen in George Mann’s Star Wars: The High Republic: The Battle for Starlight.
In addition to appearing in Mission to Disaster, the Halcyon will also be featured in the kids book Star Wars: The High Republic: The Battle for Starlight written by George Mann. And author Daniel José Older will showcase some of the backstory of this ship in the YA novel Star Wars: The High Republic: Midnight Horizon.
