Goodreads asked Michael Moreci:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Michael Moreci Black Star Renegades is a product of a few things. First and foremost, it's a result of my love for Star Wars and other similar sci-fi adventures and pulps. Anyone who knows me is well aware of this. And one person who knew this is the man who became my editor at St. Martin's. I'd been pitching him books for some time, never with success, and he called me up one day and said "you love Star Wars, you love sci-fi adventures; pitch me that." It just so happened that I had n idea for this exact type of book, a book I wanted to read but couldn't find too many places--a sci-fi story that was just plain fun. I took that idea--inspired by Star Wars, wanting to write something fun--and crafted it into what eventually became Black Star Renegades. It evolved and grew a ton from those origins, but that's where it all began.
