In Vision of the Future (1998), Admiral Gilad Pellaeon admits that the Empire, down to only a few sectors, is now fighting a losing battle, and initiates peace talks with Princess Leia. However, Moff Disra hires a con artist, Flim, to impersonate the deceased Grand Admiral Thrawn to motivate the Imperial forces. Major Grodin Tierce, the clone of a former stormtrooper imbued with Thrawn's tactical intellect by the grand admiral himself, strategizes that the false Thrawn could also rally support for the Empire and intimidate the New Republic. The tactic is successful until Pellaeon and Talon Karrde—on opposing sides but both desiring peace—expose Flim. Meanwhile, at a fortress called the Hand of Thrawn, Luke and Mara discover a gestating and near-complete clone of Thrawn, which is killed during their escape. [10] [11] An expedition by Thrawn to the galaxy's Unknown Regions is also mentioned. Finally, a peace treaty is signed by Pellaeon and the New Republic's president.

Vurawn attended an academy on Rentor and got exceptionally good grades. Sometime in his student career, he became a line leader in the academy and got the attention of multiple Ruling Families. The Mitth family in particular sent an Aristocra, Mitth'urf'ianico, to evaluate Vurawn's potential. [1] Zahn, Timothy (1998). "Foreword". The Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook. West End Games.

So, in the storyline of ‘Star Wars: Thrawn,’ we get to see the different events that led to Thrawn’s rise as one of the greatest strategists in the history of the galaxy, as he eventually became known for his ruthlessness as a military commander and in the use of lethal warfare. Thrawn is rescued by Imperial soldiers that were able to bring him to the Empire, where he impressed Emperor Palpatine himself. In that regard himself indispensable to the cause of the Empire and even earned the respect of none other than Darth Vader, the loyal servant of the emperor. Later, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin visits Commodore Thrawn and Lieutenant Commander Vanto to convey Governor Arihnda Pryce's regards. He reassures Thrawn that Pryce is settling well to her new post. Tarkin wishes Thrawn and Vanto all the best with hunting enemies of the Empire down. Thrawn congratulates Vanto for his success before telling him that they have been transferred to a new ship: the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Chimaera.But while ‘Heir to the Empire’ may no longer be canon, it still is one of the best books to read in relation to Thrawn and the mindset that he carried throughout his entire history as a character. The storyline takes place after the events of ‘Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi’ as there were rumors of Imperial remnants threatening to regain control over the galaxy under the leadership of a man named Grand Admiral Thrawn, who sought to lead the Imperials against the New Republic during a time when Luke, Leia, and Han had already helped bring peace to the entire galaxy by defeating the Empire.

Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader ally against a threat to the Empire in this new novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. ‘I have sensed a disturbance in the Force’– ominous words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root — its existence little more than a glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn.
