grand admiral thrawn
→ When
Governor Pryce of Lothal wanted a stronger commander to dismantle the
rebellion, the Empire answered with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thrawn was a male
Chiss, with striking blue skin, red eyes, and an angular face, known for his
brilliant strategic mind and ruthlessness. He was determined to “pull the
rebels apart piece by piece.” Thrawn hailed from the Unknown Regions and had
knowledge of the uncharted region of the galaxy, knowledge that Emperor Sheev
Palpatine used due to his interest in discovering the secrets of the dark side
of the Force that the Unknown Regions held. By 2 BBY, Thrawn had been promoted
to Grand Admiral and given the command of the Seventh Fleet due to his victory
over a rebel insurgency at Batonn. He was then assigned to destroy the Phoenix
Squadron located in the Lothal sector, which was a part of the growing
rebellion against the Empire. His efforts were aimed at discovering the
location of the rebel base which proved successful and allowed his forces to
press an attack. The battle was a success and Phoenix Squadron was mostly
destroyed; however, the Spectres, most of the important rebel leaders, escaped
along with the Imperial traitor Kallus. Moreover, the Empire suffered major
losses and Thrawn received a prediction of his defeat from a mysterious Force-sensitive
individual known as the Bendu.
– “The rebels have won this battle, but the war will be
ours.”
