Campaign of the Month: January 2012
Star Trek Late Night
Imperial Navy Admiral
A consummate strategist, Grand Admiral Thrawn likens combat to art, and is an afficionado of both. He can cite inspirations, analyze motives and determine outcomes before his opponents can even consciously begin formulating a move.
Thrawn’s greatest weapon is his mind. This was long ago recognized by his people, the Chiss, who banished Mitth’raw’nuruodo for his dangerous ideas. The Chiss of Csilla are a disciplined species, advanced enough to build a sizable fleet and an empire over two dozen worlds. Thrawn’s tactics were controversial in their boldness, and his activities within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet drew many a concerned, glowing red eye.
Currently Thrawn is the Captain of the Imperial Star Destroyer Deception, and leader of the 7th Star Destroyer Assault Group. He has a total of 9 Star Destroyers under his command including the elite 91st Reconnaissance Corps.
During the Empire war Thanos shot down the shuttle Thrawn was on and then bragged about it to the media. No one knows exactly why but following this incident, Thrawn became obsessed with capturing the pilot that shot him down.
