	Grand Admiral Thrawn
		Thrawn was his public "core" name, reminiscent of the English word "thrawn", meaning "twisted or crooked", an apt description of his intricate schemes; his full name was only known to a few select individuals.
		Thrawn was more tolerant of the failures of those under his command than other Imperial officials, who were known for their lethal reaction to the most minimal of failures.
		Thrawn would become involved in Imperial court politics, as Mara Jade would later reminisce; all thought that his exile was due to his political defeat by Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus.

	Jedi Council Forums - Missing Grand Admiral?
		It is known that Admiral Zaarin was replaced as one of the Emperor's favoured twelve by his blue-skinned pursuer, the chauvinist Grand Admiral Thrawn (ref. TIE Fighter).
		Because Admiral Thrawn is an ersatz grand admiral, he is not included in the entry's statement respecting the fates of the grand admirals.
		Thus, it is probable that neither Admiral Teshik nor Admiral Tigellinus were still tenants of the prestigious rank of grand admiral as of the Battle of Endor.

	Star Wars: Blogs \| Continuity, Criticisms, and Captain Panaka \| Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Cloaking ...
		UPDATE: Hibridium cloaks were introduced in the Thrawn trilogy and retconned into the classic trilogy (the name "hibridium" comes from the Alex Winger short stories by Charlene Newcomb), but they appear to have existed since at least the prequel era, thanks to this HoloNet News story.
		Palpatine, being a crafty guy, and not wanting to keep all his eggs in one basket, sets up a separate cloaking task force, Project Vorknkx, under the nominal supervision of Grand Admiral Thrawn to investigate hibridium cloaks to their fullest (this is a retcon involving the game TIE Fighter).
		Grand Admiral Batch quickly puts together his own project, the "Phantom TIE" project, to overshadow Project Vorknkx, get into Palpy's good graces, and resurrect the stygium cloak after a twenty-year absence.

		Around this period, Thrawn returned from the Outer Rim, and began partaking in politics; he quickly made an enemy out of Tigellinus, who while not a COMPNOR New Order fanatic like some of his fellow Grand Admirals, nevertheless fully believed in the superiority of humans (and especially what New Order theoreticians called 'High Human Culture').
		Tigellinus consolidated power, and became Grand Moff of the Imperial Oversector (Sector 0), the most important sector, with the most wealthy worlds, fleets, and prestige, making Tigellinus the only Grand Admiral to also have legitmately held the title of Grand Moff as well.
