Characters
= Protagonists
=Shae Koda: A Human female of Dathomirian descent whose parents were killed in the Despot War. She has an incessant curiosity, which means she does not accept things on blind faith. She is young, brave, rash, and a bit reckless.
Sek'nos Rath: A young Sith-species male whose parents are Je'daii (what the Jedi are called in this time period), diplomats who travel the system. He was raised by his maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather, who are both Je'daii masters. He is charming but also driven. He wants to do great things like Je'daii who came before him. He yearns for adventure and likes to push the envelope. He's bold, rowdy, and loves fun, weapons, and females of all types.
Tasha Ryo: A female Twi'lek whose parents are Baron Volnos Ryo and Kora Ryo. She's often torn between her father and their clan and her mother and her Je'daii duties. She prefers not to use weapons, instead preferring Force techniques that use the Force as a weapon and a shield. She is very calm and emphatic. She looks before she leaps and tries to understand the repercussions of her actions.
Xesh: A mysterious and powerful being, Rakatan slave called a Force Hound. His arrival on Tython sets the whole series in motion.

Novel
Into the Void, a Dawn of the Jedi novel written by fantasy author Tim Lebbon, was released May 7, 2013. ISBN 978-0345541932
Legacy
Not long after its release, in April 2014, the comic and tie-in novel were declared non-canon due to Lucasfilm's redefining of the canon to make way for the sequel trilogy.
In the 2021–2022 streaming series The Book of Boba Fett, Tatooine was canonically depicted as once having been an oceanic planet, as the comic had established.
A film set during the early Dawn of the Jedi timeline is in development.
