"TK-462"[3] is a short story by Sylvain Neuvel, with art by Drew Baker, that was released on June 7, 2016 as part of Star Wars Insider 166. The story recounts the life of a stormtrooper.[1] The story's early title, "TK-146275," was mistakenly used in the magazine.[3]
Sylvain Neuvel, the author of "TK-462," intended for the short story to have taken place from 14 to 4 years before the Battle of Yavin.[2]
When it was republished in Star Wars 2017 Del Rey Sampler, Del Rey said that the story was unchanged.[3] However some changes were made, such as a mention to the Royal Imperial Academy changed to the Arkanis Academy, featuring Belderone instead of Lothal, removing a mention of jogan fruit, mentioning stolen medpacs instead of kyber crystals, a Rodian shopkeeper's death changed to him being knocked out, and a mention of lyleks changed to septoids.[4] These changes were not present in its most recent reprint in Star Wars Insider: The Fiction Collection Volume 2.[5]
