Star Wars.com has revealed that Steve Perry and Michael Reaves (the pair that brought us the “Med Star Duology”) are teaming up once again to bring to light the story behind the creation of the Death Star.
Set in the era between Star Wars III & Star Wars IV, Perry and Reaves give us the inside history, characters and political intrique that led to this ultimate planet killer’s conception and birth.
To date, the novel is untitled but promises to fill in those gaps left by Lucas and give flesh to all those unanswered questions about the Death Star.

This is going to be interesting to see since the expanded universe already contains information about the origin of the Deathstar’s design.

There is also a short fan film called “Conspiracy” that ties in with this theme. It’s available from TheForce.net: http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/shortfilms/conspiracy/.
