Synopsis:
An alien named Mitth'raw'nuruodo
(exiled by his own people) runs a group of Imperial soldiers from
the Victory class Star Destroyer 'Strikefast' (who was chasing
smuggler Booster Terrik) in circles on a backwater planet just
inside the Unknown Regions, killing troops, blowing up a TIE
Fighter, and using both the environment and stolen technology to
make a mockery of the troops. Impressed, Captain Voss Parck invites Thrawn
to join the Republic fleet. Emperor Palpatine (who had twice tried
to bring Thrawn over to the
Empire before) stifles his xenophobia to allow this talented man in
and provide private Academy schooling. |
