[7] The first part of the Grand Admiral's strategy required locating a secret storehouse where the Emperor had kept various technologies acquired by the Empire. Despite the fierce fighting and damage sustained to Kuat Drive Yards, the battle was a major victory. Before he let them go, however, Thrawn joined Doriana and Kav back on the Darkvenge. Two hours before they arrived, Thrawn dispatched Ovruk to kill Slui-Koronar and had recording equipment hidden in his home. Major Grodin Tierce was selected as a template. Later that day, Thrawn announced that he would leave it to the Sluissi to decide their world's future—in exchange Dogh announced that the New Republic was withdrawing its objection to letting the Empire take the Star Destroyer. He again came with an ysalamir and is packaged alongside Talon Karrde and a reprint of Heir to the Empire 1. The Empire's forces were easily defeated, and the defenses left by Ysanne Isard were overcome. [38] One of Thrawn's earliest Noghri recruits was Rukh, who impressed the Grand Admiral by not appearing intimidated by the Empire's technology. However, the beetles proved too numerous and Hoole was eventually forced to retreat, having given the others the time they needed to reach the shuttle. Thrawn was viewed as a hero by some members of the Empire of the Hand, including one of Baron Fel's sons, the Chiss-raised Jagged Fel. However, just as they were preparing to leave, C'baoth arrived aboard a Lancer-class frigate and demanded to speak to Thrawn. The planet's unusually high level of sunlight intensity would pose a problem to most ships, but Thrawn knew that a Star Destroyer would be able to handle the direct sunlight for a few minutes and, although they would need to reinforce the viewports and remove external communications equipment—effectively leaving the ship blind and deaf—C'baoth would be able to ensure that the ship's performance was not hampered. The Derra convoy did not uncover Echo Base's location, but gave Death Squadron enough of a lead to blanket the Western Reaches of the Outer Rim Territories with probe droids. Later that night, a Defel, hired by Slui-Koronar, murdered Stern as he slept and stole the statuette as a gift for Thrawn. The group quickly identified some Frunchettan-sai art from the Outer Rim Territories, along with some Pashv art from Wild Space, and were impressed when Thrawn was able to describe both species, simply by observing their artwork. We specialize in action figures, collectibles, and geek toys. Via the orders which assigned Ackbar to his new rank, Alliance Commander-in-Chief Mon Mothma instructed him travel to the Telaris system by the fastest means available and take command of the Alliance Fleet there. [19] Thrawn later taught at the Academy, where his most promising cadet was Tyber Zann. Ackbar informed the Council that a direct assault on the planet would seriously deplete the strength of the fleet and the only other viable option, a blockade, would take a long time and cause much suffering on the surface of the planet. In addition to being a legitimate strategic and tactical victory, it was crucial in restoring morale after the losses suffered in the invasion. [2] Thinking that Thrawn would make a suitable puppet leader for the Empire,[53] and fearing coups, Grand Moff Ardus Kaine of the Pentastar Alignment and Prince-Admiral Delak Krennel of the Ciutric Hegemony[2] gave Thrawn command of a temporary military confederation. [11], Thrawn and Niriz meet with Creysis on the Admonitor, Niriz was suspicious of the aliens and thought sending men to Creysis's ship was an unnecessary risk. [38], After Thrawn returned with an X-34 landspeeder, he and Horn set off for Thyne's fortress. Though Thrawn was beginning to grow suspicious of Hoole and the children, and planned to take them back to the Vengeance for a background check afterwards, he did agree to examine the area where Sh'shak had been practicing. Zak Arranda thought that it was his fault as, on his first day in the garden, he had accidentally killed a shreev that he thought was attacking him. With little choice, the Hopskip's crew agreed to make the delivery and were introduced to Thrawn, already disguised as Kast, who Niriz explained would accompany them on the delivery. Over time, Thrawn climbed the Imperial ladder, believing that he could better defend against the threat of the oncoming Yuuzhan Vong as an Imperial officer than if he returned to the Chiss, and circa 2 ABY became the thirteenth Grand Admiral in the Imperial Navy. You're my only hope. Upon learning that Imperial Captain Dolman's shuttle had crashed on Naboo, Thrawn promised to send help immediately and tasked an experienced spacer with escorting the captain back to the safety of the Emperor's Retreat. ]Mon Calamari Resistance[9]Alliance to Restore the Republic[1]Alliance of Free Planets[10]New Republic[11]Galactic Federation of Free Alliances[12] On Vandor-3, the lowly Ackbar City was named after Admiral Ackbar, much to the disgust of military folk who respected him, like Wraith Squadron member Voort saBinring. The force truly available to Thrawn consisted only of the dozen Star Destroyers still remaining in Death Squadron after the defeat at Endor, of which only six ships were judged truly loyal to Bastion. [13] On top of losing his brother, many in the Ruling Families still saw Thrawn's actions as tantamount to murder and from that point on, his actions were watched carefully. However, after the Chimaera locked a tractor beam on the starfighter, Skywalker acted quickly to reverse-trigger his acceleration compensator, bringing the ship to a stop, and simultaneously fire a proton torpedo which was instead snared by the tractor beam. Thrawn kept the discovery in mind until he found a use for the creatures several years later. Those which had been modified to work in pairs then flew into the hull breaches and detonated the contents of their extra fuel tanks, unleashing a wave of radiation that killed all those aboard the six outer Dreadnaughts. However, Thrawn had devised a method to overcome the shield without causing major damage to the planet below. After the refitting was complete, the Grand Admiral would spend much of his time meditating there. [30], In 1 BBY, however, a revolt ejected the Imperial garrison from Mon Calamari, and Ackbar was invited to return to his homeworld and lead their rebuilt fleet. As Tarrak fled the doomed facility, her transport was disabled and the Nami was taken into custody for delivery to Palpatine. Thrawn knew that it was only a matter of time until the Vengeance realized they'd lost contact and sent reinforcements. The pyussh berries attracted some of the planet's nocturnal creatures, to which Thrawn strapped the stolen power packs, after first removing the overload sturm dowels. However, the commander explained that, before he could release them, he needed to examine their ship and confirm that they were telling the truth and not scouts for a potential threat to the Chiss. Zann escaped knowing that his lieutenant Urai Fen had placed a homing device on the holocron which he later used to lead him to one of the Emperor's storehouses on Coruscant. Red[1] After the Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty, Ackbar retired to a quiet life of writing his memoirs and advising. [39] Finally, the time came to launch an attack on Coruscant itself. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a Star Wars video game released on June 28, 2016. [11], The long journey to the Unknown Regions took the Admonitor through the Outer Rim and Wild Space, and Thrawn took the opportunity to ensure the ships's pilots and crew were familiar with its hyperdrive-equipped TIE scouts. After Car'das admitted that they were smuggling the gems to avoid the customs fees associated with them, Mitth'raw'nuruodo explained that he was curious about the Humans and wanted their company for a while to learn more of their language and culture. The modified TIE was soon surrounded and caught by grappling lines while the remaining two, acting on Thrawn's orders, returned to the Admonitor without engaging. The droids reacted to the incoming missiles, shooting them down only to be disabled by the shock nets. The Pa'lowick maintained that she did not have access to the records and offered to fetch the owner, Dama Brunk. Katarn was captured during the battle and was executed by Jerec. As anticipated, by the time Thrawn took the Chimaera's task force to Ukio, only the planet's defense shield prevented its conquest. Believing this information could change the tide of the war in the Rebellion's favor, Ackbar eagerly contacted Admiral Garm Bel Iblis, who sent an aide of his named Jeremes Kelton to pick up the data. In 19 BBY, soon after Palpatine reformed the Republic into the Galactic Empire, Imperial Navy officer Voss Parck encountered Thrawn in the Unknown Regions and brought him to Emperor Palpatine. In exchange for his help, Vader agreed to give Thrawn command of the Noghri. [7] After attacking an enemy ground installation that was manufacturing weapons for an upcoming attack, Thrawn was judged to have acted against everything his people believed[15] and was brought up on charges. [12], At some point at this time, Thrawn learned of Delta Source, an audio intelligence source built into twin rows of ch'hala trees in the Grand Corridor of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant. The creatures were able to penetrate the Imperial perimeter before their charges exploded. During the Imperial occupation of the planet Bespin, the Zann Consortium raided the planet and stole large quantities of tibanna gas. Among the Chiss who served under him, Thrawn came to hold the title of Syndic. The journey, however, proved hazardous with multiple attacks from Zaarin, Rebel and pirate forces. When news of this reached Thrawn, he broke off the convocate to visit Khabarakh's village and find out personally why it took him a month to return home. He was curious whether they might recognize any of the artifacts aboard as coming from Republic space and wanted Qennto to pick some items for them to take as compensation for the delay, in turn establishing which artifacts were valuable. Although Ackbar and Borsk Fey'lya had clashed before over strategy and Fey'lya's perceived rivalry for political power, they jointly developed a plan to insert Rogue Squadron into Coruscant to gather intelligence. With no previous recorded contact between the Chiss and Humans, neither group could understand the other's native language, but soon discovered a common ability to speak Sy Bisti—switching to the trade language, Mitth'raw'nuruodo began questioning the Humans as to their purpose in that region. Dac[1] During the stressful times surrounding the Black Fleet Crisis, Ackbar served as a close friend and father figure to Leia; the relationship was so close that Ackbar was one of a handful of people who had a private key to the Solo residence in the Imperial Palace. Following the defeat of Zsinj at Dathomir, Ackbar led a campaign into the regions held by the former warlord. [9][30][3], Shortly after taking command of the Empire, Thrawn learned that Killik Twilight, a moss painting by the Alderaanian artist Ob Khaddor which had once belonged to the Alderaanian royal family and had been presumed lost during the destruction of Alderaan eight years earlier, had survived in the possession of the Alderaanian Threkin Horm and was to be auctioned on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine. At the time of the reborn Emperor's attacks in 10 ABY, Ackbar was at his home on Coruscant, known as Victory Lake. The Reborn Emperor died at Onderon and the New Republic rapidly regained much of its lost territory by 11 ABY. [78], Thrawn received a War Portrait in 2012's The Essential Guide to Warfare, with author Jason Fry presenting a discussion of Thrawn's life and actions in the form of the in-universe historical revisionist article Mitth'raw'nuruodo Reconsidered: A Patriot's Perspective. The cloning cylinder was set to a ten-year cycle and, while those who served under him were unaware of his clone's existence, Thrawn informed them that, should he ever be reported dead, they should continue their operations and wait for his return ten years later. [7], However, the Grand Admiral was not completely isolated from the Empire and remained in contact with Isard, who rose to fill the power vacuum left by Palpatine's death, though he had little trust for the woman and arranged for many officers he trusted, such as Baron Soontir Fel, to join him in the Unknown Regions. Notably, when Ackbar used the "Thrawn Pincer" during the battle of Ciutric against Prince-Admiral Delak Krennel. Jade warned Skywalker that the Jedi Master was working for the Empire and, after escaping from C'baoth, the two headed for Wistril where they stole and Imperial shuttle to board the Chimaera. Calrissian used remote control codes to make the mole miners activate their plasma jets, burning through vital equipment on the captured ships and leaving them dead in space. [9], Thrawn believed intelligence was a key factor in warfare, and thus he maintain a vast network of spies, that were scattered across the galaxy. At the same time, he activated the battle droids Car'das had presented to the Vagaari and the droids began to kill the Vagaari leaders from within their flagship. [41] After returning safely, due to the efforts of his escorts, Thrawn sent his personal compliments to the pilots for their ability to improvise in using the TIE bomber in a defensive role. [9], Thrawn took Chimaera as his flagship and declared himself to the Ruling Council. After the Imperial forces were driven back, Ackbar selected another MC90, the Galactic Voyager, to serve as his command cruiser. Chronological and political information This conviction was often proven correct since his vast knowledge and obsession with the analytical study of art resulted in almost infallible strategic victories over nearly every opponent Thrawn engaged. This, he believed, would have the effect of convincing the Imperials that primitive natives had removed the body, distracting them from the missing comlink. The Emperor wanted retribution against Zaarin and commanded Thrawn to track him down and destroy his forces. The Empire's leadership fragmented as warlords such as Grand Vizier Sate Pestage, Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard, and Admiral Zsinj fought for personal power. Wookieepedia is a FANDOM Movies Community. In exchange for her service, he would uphold his end of the deal, releasing Karrde's people immediately and Karrde himself after the smuggler provided the location of the Katana fleet. To Creysis, Thrawn offered an apology for intruding and explained that they were seeking a home for the ship's 40,000 colonists. Tim Rose puts on his Ackbar mask during production of Return of the Jedi. The trilogy marked the dawn of a new era in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and Thrawn's character is considered a contributing factor. However, Kuuztin was leading his forces into a trap and he was killed when the Courageous was ambushed and destroyed by two Star Destroyers. On Vader's signal, Thrawn launched his TIE squadrons and, catching the Rebels unprepared, the Imperial forces soon destroyed the base and the fleeing Rebel starfighters. In order to cover their tracks, they began a misdirection campaign to make it appear that they were intent on hitting Tangrene. Male[5] Zaarin destroyed the base before retreating into hyperspace, moments before Thrawn's forces arrived to spring the trap. [8], Thrawn contacted his old accomplice Jorj Car'das, who had left his smuggling organization behind in attempt to improve his failing health, and with the human set out in attempt to turn Esva's plans against the warlord. Ackbar's close working relationship with Wedge Antilles also turned into a friendship, with Ackbar serving as a sort of mentor to Wedge, especially during the early years of the New Republic. Ar'alani was suspicious of Qennto and insisted that she and Mitth'ras'safis take their own inventory of the treasure, providing Thrawn with the distraction he needed. After removing the pilot's body from his flight suit, Thrawn hid the body and stole the comlink from the helmet in order to eavesdrop on the visitors.
