Writer John Jackson Miller will be creating new Star Wars storylines under the title Knight Errant, which will be set during the “Dark Age of the Republic,” one thousand years before Star Wars: Episode 1.  Dark Horse  Comics will publish the Miller-penned comic series, Del Rey the novel, also by Miller.

Knight Errant will feature Kerra Holt, a young Jedi who discovers her unique role in the galaxy during a time of great conflict between the Sith and the Republic.

Miller is the writer for Dark Horse’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which ends its four-year run this month. He also handles scripting for Dark Horse’s Mass Effect: Redemption, the comic based on the videogame (see “EA, Dark Horse Team Up for 'Mass Effect'”).

Knight Errant will be on shelves this fall.
