I am in the midst of serving under the Galactic Empire under Emperor Palpatine when I received a heinous transmission from Chiss Space. I never expected hateful behavior among my people. Being xenophobic is one issue. But thinking that way limits us as to how to assist the greater galaxy efficiently. “Peaceful Watchfulness” — we are being pummeled by forces we cannot comprehend while we hate individuals we have failed to get to know. Then this standard Chiss Ascendancy supremacist mentality is broadcast. That nasty mentality does not help our cause. Read for yourselves.
“Now how can any Chiss, man or woman, who sleeps with humans speak for me? No Chiss mated to a human can speak for me! Only a Chiss man who is ashamed of what he is will mate out of his species. There has to be something wrong when a Chiss man or a woman leaves his own people and mates somebody of another kind. Chiss who are proud of being Chiss mate with Chiss. This is particularly true when you realize that these Decadents who go for xenomania rather than the Chiss culture and promote the nexus of our people link up with the very people who created a catastrophe with their forefathers, raped their foremothers, and relegated their sisters in the trash heaps of space along Wild Space and the Outer Rim to serve as slaves.”
In this story, Thrawn is a Grand Admiral and Imperial officer that does his job with the utmost of professionalism.
At the end of STAR WARS: THRAWN, the canon says Arinhda Pryce tried to leverage his being Chiss against him. He HATES that. In STAR WARS: THRAWN ALLIANCES, Padme Amidala “ADMONISHES” him — a much younger THRAWN. He HATES having guilt trips put on him.
When he is given the dossier of SABINE WREN. He learns that she is a MANDALORIAN, which changes the game a lot about her. Mandalorians are tough to beat. They are warriors who are smart and organized. Then, he learns she is an ARTIST…
Of course, he analyzes her art, but he studies Sabine’s art more intently than he should and actually learns about her — her character, her kind of person she is, her emotions, her traumas and just, her… He discovers why she ran away from the Imperial Academy on Mandalore and why she paints. He sees a collection of her street art, and then he decides to keep the pieces he can aboard his Imperial Star Destroyer, Chimaera.
Understand this point: When he SAW her art, he “bought” it, all of it – somewhat like the way Christian Grey saw Anastasia Steele’s photographs and bought them all in Fifty Shades of Grey…
Thrawn should not have done that, because that causes more emotion in him. More emotions than what got him exiled from the Chiss Ascendancy.
I have to be feared to exact my military strategy, which is to quell the insurgents. Many people shudder in fear when the Galactic Empire Navy arrives to save the law-abiding citizens. One false move and we will obliterate it as an act of sedition. The Rebel, Ezra Bridger fears me and the only explanation for his overpowering me is with his Force powers. I do not fear the Force. The Force is a tool to maintain order until the dire threats are over.
alright ive been waiting for the right time to sit down and write this out because it turns out i have accumulated more (serious) chiss egg headcanons than i initially expected to lol
(also THANK YOU for asking me about chiss eggs it’s my favorite thing to talk about)
disclaimer: i haven’t established all of this fully so any cool additions are welcome. plus a lot of this wasn’t just my ideas. much of this was made up by me and @mistressminako (and some other friends) over on twitter. and yes this is not a shitpost i actually unironically love the idea of chiss laying eggs :3
firstly, i headcanon that all chiss can lay eggs, whether they have male or female genitalia. depending on what you imagine chiss genitalia to be, they can lay the eggs through their butt or have an entirely separate pathway of their reproductive system just for egg laying (i suck at terminology in this part, my apologies)
chiss lay eggs similarly to how a bird would lay an egg. if you want the egg to produce a baby you need to fertilize it a.k.a have sex. chiss lay one egg per year. (the length of the cycle varies from person to person, just like human periods) and once the egg is laid, it takes another 6-ish months for the babies to hatch
if an egg is unfertilized, it can be discarded, or the contents of the egg drained and the shell used for decoration/jewellery.
the eggs are relatively large, about a forearm’s length, though laying the egg is much easier than giving birth for humans. the egg is soft/jelly-like as it comes out; the shell only hardens after a few minutes of contact with oxygen. the color/texture of the egg varies from chiss to chiss, but they all have an iridescent sheen to it. laying the egg is also physically pleasurable to the chiss, rather than causing discomfort. it takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to lay one egg.
the chiss can choose to incubate their eggs in specially designed incubators, or incubate them themselves (aka just laying with the egg in a nest of blankets), though many probably choose a combination of the two. it’s believed that the more time you spend with the egg, the healthier and happier the child will be. chiss often purr to their eggs too, as the vibrations help the developing baby to stay calm and content. the chiss believe that purring while incubating the egg also helps the child to grow healthy and strong.
the chiss, much like real life people, would probably have other rituals involving the eggs with their yet unborn children, like singing/playing music to them, talking to them, taking pictures of them, also stuff like keeping bits of your children’s egg shells much like people make imprints of their babies’ hands and feet and keep them for life. there’s just so much potential for weird alien tradition headcanons with the whole egg thing, i just love it a lot
anyway i hope yall enjoyed this eggsplanation :3
oooh i love it!!!
Uh. Chiss are not oviparous. Chiss are viviparous. Such a xenophobic chauvinistic and speciest thing to say.
Here was my character design for the Star Wars Rebels tribute piece. Of course, it would only be fitting that I draw the mastermind behind it all, Grand Admiral Thrawn! 😈👍
(The art and artist are great, this is just a parody of what THRAWN would think of it)
Why do they always draw my torso and biceps huge in these things. I do not like that. And have you been the the Imperial Commissary and whatever meal plan they have on an Imperial Star Destroyer. I have to buy slats for better meals for the various palates of my crew. A healthy crew is an efficient crew…
I do not have a receding hairline and my forehead is not that tall! My eyes are not that set inside my skull. They make me look like a Bith!
Is my mouth really that tiny? Vuhn…always teasing what they don’t understand.
Well, I guess I have to hang it near the Alderaanian Moss Painting since those space whales destroyed it with Bridger.
