"Beyond Hope" is a brief narrative that appeared in the From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back collection of stories released in 2020. Penned by Michael Moreci, it centers its attention on Emon Kref, a Private.
Michael Moreci has stated that he drew influence from Alexander Freed's war-themed canon works, with Battlefront: Twilight Company standing out as Moreci's preferred example. This is because it offered insight into the experiences of "grunts" on the battlefield, who possessed unique viewpoints on the Star Wars narrative. Reportedly, the author combined these concepts with the rebel trench combat seen on Hoth.
