The Eternal Sword: Knights of the Galactic Round

Synopsis

When the dying wizard Merlin casts a final enchantment upon the legendary King Arthur at the Battle of Camlann, he does not send the Wounded King to Avalon — he sends him forward, across the gulf of millennia, into a galaxy fracturing at its seams. Arthur awakens aboard a damaged Republic transport drifting near the Outer Rim, his enchanted sword Excalibur humming with an energy that Force-sensitives describe as neither light nor dark but something impossibly ancient. Discovered by Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi, Arthur is identified as a profound anomaly — a man whose midichlorian signature reads like a relic of the Force itself, a living echo of an age when honor was forged in iron rather than laser fire. Pulled into the political maelstrom surrounding Supreme Chancellor Valorum's crumbling authority, Arthur finds himself navigating a civilization that mirrors his own fallen Britain with haunting precision: a Senate rotting from within, a shadowy enemy manipulating loyal servants, and a young queen — Padmé Amidala — whose courage reminds him painfully of Guinevere. Recognizing the invisible hand of a dark counselor behind the Trade Federation's aggression, Arthur names what he sees: a shadow wearing a king's trust, a Merlin turned sorcerer-king — Darth Sidious. Determined to prevent this galaxy from suffering the betrayal that shattered Camelot, Arthur begins forging an unlikely fellowship: rogue senators, disillusioned Jedi, smugglers of conscience, and one grieving queen. He calls them the Galactic Round Table — not a brotherhood of birthright, but of chosen loyalty. Yet the sword that grants him power also marks him as a target, and Arthur must reckon with whether a code of chivalry can survive among the stars, or whether history is simply a wound that never stops bleeding.
