	Grand Admiral Thrawn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 is generally regarded as the last great commander of the Galactic Empire in the Galactic Civil War.
		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.

	Mitth'raw'nuruodo - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
		Thrawn was born a commoner, and gained status by pursuing a military career; on earning his commission in the Expeditionary Fleet, he became a merit adoptive of the Eighth Ruling Family—the Mitth Family, not the Nuruodo.
		Thrawn's provocative actions fell under scrutiny from the Defense Hierarchy, the Mitth Family, and also the Chaf Family; however, Thrawn willingly went against Chiss protocol as he seized a gravity-well generator from the Vagaari fleet besieging the Geroon homeworld.
		Thrawn died during the climactic Battle of Bilbringi at the hands of his Noghri bodyguard, Rukh, who had discovered the duplicitous oppression of Honoghr of which Thrawn was responsible.

		Prior to the Battle of Endor, Thrawn commanded Imperial forces in the Unknown Regions, finally returning to the rest of the galaxy years after the Emperor’s defeat.
		Thrawn’s strategy hinged on the use of technology hidden away by the Emperor at Mount Tantiss: Cloaking devices (successfully used in several battles) and Spaarti cloning cylinders (a different form of cloning technology that allowed clones to be grown much faster than with Kaminoan methods).
		Thrawn also had the service of Noghri bodyguards who were indebted to the Empire for aid they once received from Darth Vader, but they were kept dependent by the Empire leaving their homeworld an environmental disaster.

		Similarly, thought Thrawn was one of the greatest leaders to ever wear a uniform, he was a soldier under orders from his superiors for the beginning of his life, taking and not distributing orders.
		Thrawn saw a return to power of the waning Empire, a return that would herald a galactic unity to face the “hundred threats” of the Unknown Regions.
		Thrawn never had an on-page version of this while he lived but we can be lead to believe that the Chiss and Imperials in the Unknown Regions that operated the Hand of Thrawn, as well as his other bases, were his SA, his first line and model for future armies.

		Thrawn's plan for destroying the fragile New Republic seems well on the way to completion--unless Han, Leia, and Luke can stop it.
		Though I enjoyed the Thrawn trilogy, Thrawn himself was rather annoying, as I am sure that he was to Luke, Leia et al, since he was so good at making their lives miserable.
		If you think the Thrawn Trilogy was the best thing ever written in the expanded Star Wars Universe and if you think Andersen's Jedi Academy is the worst then you'll greatly appreciate the addition of the Hand Of Thrawn series.

		The story of Specter of the Past is one of galactic conflict on a familiar Star Wars scale, but it also weaves threads intrigue and shadow plots into the play, giving the novel a fresh feel from the usual "The Imperials have a new superweapon!" arc, and it works well.
		Any way you slice it, The Hand of Thrawn Duology is a wonderful addition to the Star Wars franchise, and is a wonderful set-up for a grand finale.
		Specter of the Past is the first in the Hand of Thrawn duology, Timothy Zahn's spectacular return to the Star Wars Universe after his incredible Thrawn Trilogy began the renewed expanded universe.

		Thrawn does not accept at this time, as he is still attached to the Chiss Expansionary Defense and cannot honorably leave his post.
		Thrawn chastises the squad sergeant for unnecessary brutality with a practical lesson in the matter, then is able to discover where the Solos are being kept in the inn.
		Thrawn deploys two companies of stormtroopers to create an ambush for the Solos around the encampment, only to later withdraw one to pursue the possibility that the Solos are fleeing on stolen speeder bikes (a ruse created by the Solos).

	Star Wars: Blogs \| Not many Bothans died to bring us this Blog... \| Series Overview: The Thrawn Trilogy
		The Thrawn Trilogy was written by Timothy Zahn and published in 1991-1993 (they really stretched things out back then) and is widely credited with revitalising the EU in the period between movie trilogies.
		I suppose that his tactics were not meant to be great in contrast with Thrawn, but his character could have been written a little better IMO.
		Also connected with this trilogy is The Hand of Thrawn Duology to be dealt with in a later blog, Survivor's Quest, also to be dealt with in a later blog and the eyt to be published prequel era Outbound Flight due at the end of January 2006.

		Yet, perhaps the most dangerous of all are those who lurk in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New Republic and the Empire into their playthings.

		Zahn created her in the Thrawn trilogy to be Luke's bride, but he couldn't accept that their paths since hadn't led in that direction.
		The Hand of Thrawn was a great story, but I did have a problem with the last book: the ending seemed rushed.

		In contrast the Thrawn Trilogy books feel as though they were novelizations of Star Wars movies not yet produced.
		Lucasfilm responded to the Thrawn Trilogy's success by publishing their own new addition to the Star Wars story in the form of Shadows of the Empire (see below).
		Because all the events of the Thrawn Trilogy transpire between the end of Return of the Jedi and the beginning of this series, the Hand of Thrawn does not have the same direct connection to the Star Wars Trilogy as the earlier series.

		For someone who doesn't read all that often and couldn't tell you the importance of the great literary works, this was just a book to read and enjoy.
		Excellent story to introduce new characters and prove why Thrawn was given the prestige of being named an Imperial Grand Admiral, dispite being an alien race in Palpatine's Empire.
		It concludes the story in the tradition of creativity and intrigue from the prior novels.

		Ultimately, the best reason to buy this book is the development of the relationship between Luke and Mara, which avoids being a fantasy romance and is instead a more subtle development in which they simply realise that they don't want to be apart.
		This book chronicles the apparent re-appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the relationship between Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade coming to a head, and the almost self-destruction of the New Republic because of the Caamaas Crisis.
		I have to say that I thought Thrawn's clone was dealt with rather poorly, he should have survived.

		Did the planet that the Hand of Thrawn was on have a name?
		I see what you mean, but I’d still say Unknown Regions as that was where Thrawn was sent on his “mapping expedition” so that would be where he’d be establishing the Hand of Thrawn.
		Checking CUSWE they do back you up though in saying that “Wild Space separates the known galaxy from the Unknown Regions” so it is the bits where “there is some idea about them” rather than Wild Space being a distinct area towards the bottom of the map(as I was suggesting).
