The first official synopsis for the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story prequel novel Star Wars: Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, written by James Luceno, has been released. The synopsis gives an insight into the mysterious character of Director Orson Krennic (who will be played by Ben Mendelsohn in the film) and his relationship with Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) and his daughter Jyn (Felicity Jones).
Krennic’s backstory has remained largely mysterious until now. The synopsis reads:
“War is tearing the galaxy apart. For years the Republic and the Separatists have battled across the stars, each building more and more deadly technology in an attempt to win the war. As a member of Chancellor Palpatine’s top secret Death Star project, Orson Krennic is determined to develop a superweapon before their enemies can. And an old friend of Krennic’s, the brilliant scientist Galen Erso, could be the key.
Galen’s energy-focused research has captured the attention of both Krennic and his foes, making the scientist a crucial pawn in the galactic conflict. But after Krennic rescues Galen, his wife, Lyra, and their young daughter, Jyn, from Separatist kidnappers, the Erso family is deeply in Krennic’s debt. Krennic then offers Galen an extraordinary opportunity: to continue his scientific studies with every resource put utterly at his disposal. While Galen and Lyra believe that his energy research will be used purely in altruistic ways, Krennic has other plans that will finally make the Death Star a reality. Trapped in their benefactor’s tightening grasp, the Ersos must untangle Krennic’s web of deception to save themselves and the galaxy itself.”
The synopsis reveals that the events of the novel will be set during the Clone Wars.
Star Wars: Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel is slated to hit shelves on November 15th, 2016.

The Star Wars Show host Peter Townley said “the Galactic Empire relies on astromech droids to maintain its machinery. But unlike the Rebel Alliance, Imperial technicians do not grant their droid independence and subject them to frequent memory wipes to keep them subservient”.
