Chapter 02: Star Wars (16 ABY): Black Fleet Crisis, Vol. 1 – BEFORE THE STORM (Unabridged Audiobook)
*** This is a PREVIEW ahead of the official release of the FULL UNABRIDGED Audiobook ***
I am currently hunting down the last 3 of 5 copyright violations (very strange, all being 2 -10 seconds each on computer generated content), so in the interim here is the audiobook in chapters. Once this exercise is complete later today, expect the full version to be released!

This is a Junior Archivist release. The Junior Archivists are being tutored in how to make audiobooks, so each currently has a trilogy of novels and has started working with the basics (also the two easiest toolset: 1 generating basis A.I. audio, 1 generating accompanying music). Once each has released their first trilogy, they will go back, chapter by chapter and replace key voices with the advanced A.I. tools and add sound effects (fully synched to the dialogue) – both of these steps are much more difficult.
For each audiobook, I have created the first 2 parts. Their challenge is to have their final product meet the same quality levels of The Archive! It also will allow me to ensure consistency across audiobooks and series of audiobooks!
Enjoy!

A Star Wars Legends (EU) novel, It is the first book in the Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, and was first published by Bantam Spectra in March 1996 and later republished as part of the complete trilogy, The Black Fleet Crisis Trilogy by the Science Fiction Book Club in 1997.
Talking Book Publishers produced an Unabridged version of the novel in 1997, specifically for the blind. Later, an Abridged version of the novel was produced in 2007 by Random House Audio. This audiobook is an UNABRIDGED VERSION of the novel closely following the Talking Book Publishers’ format.

Story Line:
It is a time of tranquility for the New Republic. The remnants of the Empire now lie in complete disarray, and the reemergence of the Jedi Knights has brought power and prestige to the fledgling government on Coruscant. Yesterday’s Rebels have become today’s administrators and diplomats, and the factions that fought against Imperial tyranny seem united in savoring the fruits of peace.
But the peace is short-lived. A restless Luke must journey to his mother’s homeworld in a desperate and dangerous quest to find her people. An adventurous Lando must seize a mysterious spacecraft that has weapons of enormous destructive power and an unknown mission. And Leia, a living symbol of the New Republic’s triumph, must face down a ruthless leader of the Duskhan League, an arrogant Yevetha who seems bent on a genocidal war that could shatter the fragile unity of the New Republic…and threaten its very survival.
Characters:
Nil Spaar : Yevethan Vice-Roy, antagonist of the New Republic
Luke Skywalker : Jedi Master
Princess Leia Organa : Chief of State of the New Republic
Han Solo : Husband, father, and smuggler extraordinaire
Chewbacca : Wookie companion of Han
