You forgot Pellaeon on your list, but I think that one's pretty obvious.

Makati - Makati seemed fairly competent, with his one weakness being a hatred for the Prophets of the Dark Side. Thrawn could go either way with him, depending on how he's characterized.

Pitta - Extreme xenophobe hypocrites are probably even lower on the scale than doofuses.

Syn - Thrawn's devotion to his people means he would probably respect someone similarly devoted. On the other hand, Thrawn's extreme rationalism probably wouldn't have thought too highly of Syn's choice to place that devotion in his faith(s).

Takel - I don't think Thrawn is the type to appreciate perverted drug addicts. On the other hand, despite his vices Takel was very much a strategic genius, a trait Thrawn could appreciate.

So in other words, there's so little info on him that anything I say will probably not be going against canon.

No, you're probably safe.

That's good enough for me. Do you think he and Thrawn would have been friends, as the two "outcast" Grand Admirals?

Thrawn's promotion to the Grand Admiralty was a secret, until it was formally recognized by "promoting" him during his hunt for Zaarin right before the Battle of Endor. I doubt Teshik knew Thrawn was a GA.

And yes, his execution IS, without a shadow of a doubt, a war crime.

You, like GrandAdmiralJello, assume too much. ;-p

Before he was described in "Who's Who: Imperial Grand Admirals" in Star Wars Insider #66, he only appeared in a very brief throwaway mention in West End Games's "The Far Orbit Project," which only established he was responsible for security in the Galactic Core. Almost everything else about his story is from Insider 66, with a little more elaboration of the forces he commanded in defense of the Core mentioned in Coruscant and the Core Worlds. The New Essential Chronology mentions him, but it's all info originally covered in Insider #66.

Here is a link to one of Abel's blogs about Insider #66, which includes a link to the publisher, which currently has the issue on sale. It also has a link to a thread on theforce.net that has some detailed analysis of Teshik's execution, and whether it constitutes a New Republic war crime; Abel chimes in around page 4.

Violetlight:

jSarak, your website rules! Can I use it as my main reference material for any info I need for my fanfics on the GAs? I'll cite you, don't worry.

Sure, although (as I'm sure is obvious) I've fallen rather behind in keeping it up; I haven't even read Survivor's Quest or Outbound Flight yet, let alone added that info to Thrawn's bio.

I think I've managed to include all references to the Grand Admirals that aren't Thrawn or Pelly, though, even the more recent ones.

The "invisible admiral." Very appropriate.

Best,

Hello all.

A bit over a month ago, my website at Freeservers stopped working, and due to their lack of tech support for free accounts, I was unable to get it back up and running there. So my website is now at a new location, and the Grand Admirals page along with it; you can now find it at http://churchofbrad.com/jsar ek/admirals.htm .

I actually spent a few hours speculating on the Thrawn figure put out by Galoob's Micro-Machines line. I have two of the aforementioned figures, and examined one with the aid of a jeweler's lens (the all-purpose examination tool...whoever invented that thing should be given a medal). It looks like "Thrawn" wasn't a new mould, but instead a copy of the Dracula figure put out by Galoob/Micro-Machines several years earlier (I have a friend that collects Micro-Machines himself)! Apparently, they thought the head and face would look appropriate. I'd noticed the same with the Wedge Antilles figure that came with the "Truce at Bakura" set and the Kyp Durron mini (I think it was Kyp) being a repainted and slightly recut Luke Skywalker. Oh well. At least they had figures, period.
