Syndic Mitt'raw'nuruodo, Known as Thrawn. Thrawn, a Chiss and a distinguished Imperial officer, ascended to become the Thirteenth Grand Admiral of the Empire. Notably, he was the only non-human to earn such a high rank under Emperor Palpatine’s rule. Thrawn's extensive time in the Unknown Regions honed his strategic brilliance, making him an unparalleled asset to the Empire. In 9 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin), Thrawn’s return sparked renewed hope among Imperial forces for reclaiming control of the galaxy and crushing the Rebellion. However, this hope was abruptly dashed when he was assassinated by his own bodyguard, thrusting the Empire back into turmoil. Today, the New Republic faces a new threat from a different Grand Admiral, presenting fresh challenges in a constantly shifting galaxy. Note: This work is a translation.
