His personal goal was to make himself so useful and influential within the mighty Empire that Palpatine would have to accept a formal alliance with the Ascendancy in order to vanquish the Grysk threat, a menace that could eventually find its way into known space too. At this point, the Grysk Hegemony began a plot to completely destroy the Ascendancy, training the Nikardun general Yiv, leader of the (also dangerous) Nikardun Destiny, to conquer and intimidate nations neighboring the Ascendancy to encircle the Chiss.Īfter the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire, Thrawn offered his allegiance to Emperor Palpatine. This was before the end of the Clone Wars, a conflict which had engulfed the rest of the galaxy. He served in the Chiss Ascendancy military and led anti-piracy operations. Thrawn was a native of planet Rentor, located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy, a massive area of space that can’t be accessed by those outside through regular means. This also led to two new trilogies part of the new canon which chronicle Thrawn’s origins and his fast rise to power as a remarkable Imperial leader. The character remained hugely popular for years, which prompted Dave Filoni and his team at Lucasfilm to recover him from the old Legends continuity to serve as the ultimate villain of Star Wars Rebels. Widely known for his striking blue skin and red eyes, Thrawn was created by Star Wars author Timothy Zahn as a major antagonist for the 1991 novel Heir to the Empire, the first book of the original Thrawn Trilogy, which was set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi.
