Summary
Mitth'raw'nuruodo, better known by his core name Thrawn, was a male Chiss who served in the naval forces of the Galactic Empire and became the only alien Grand Admiral. Regarded by many as the best military strategist in the navy, he rose to a position of power despite the Empire's strict speciesist policies. Thrawn hailed from Csilla, and began his career as an officer in the Defense Force of the Chiss Ascendancy in the Unknown Regions, where he demonstrated his ruthless commitment to eradicating threats to the Ascendancy. The Grand Admiral remained in the Unknown Regions around the time of the Endor Campaign, which saw the death of Palpatine and the subsequent breakdown of the Empire under rival warlords. He returned in 8 ABY to take control of the remaining Imperial forces and crush the New Republic, the successor state to the Alliance. The Grand Admiral was able to deal the New Republic several mighty blows in a massive campaign the following year.
