Behind the scenes

Author Patricia A. Jackson previously contributed material to the Star Wars Adventure Journal compilations released during the mid- and late-1990s, in which the character of Fable Astin first appeared. "Chrysalis of Fate" serves as a prequel to those stories, and marks the first instance of collaboration between the ReExpanded team and a former author of official Expanded Universe material.
