Many thousands of light years afar, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the last of the warlords of the Emperor had taken command of the crushed Imperial fleet. He prepared the fleet for the war and pointed it straight at the weaker heart of the New Republic. The dark warrior for this had made a couple of pivotal discoveries which had the potential to destroy everything that the courageous men and women from the Rebel Alliance battled so hard to craft.
