The droid’s arms split into four before four lightsabers ignited in its arms.
“I will beat you with two...no, THREE hands behind my back!”
Oh hi Grievous! Nice cameo!
“Well, the crew like to pit the droids against each other for bets. So far, the Obi-Wan Kenobi vs General Grievous fights are proving to be the most popular followed by Anakin Skywalker vs Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano vs Assajj Ventress.”
Wow. Nice references.
“My brothers and sisters, we found our queen!” someone yelled.
“QUEEN!” They yelled in glee.
“We have a queen! This must be the way!” Someone yelled who was conveniently below Twilight.
Normally I'd be mad on seeing a reference to Ugandan Knuckles, but this time I will let it slide.
9327309 When they arrive at Nirauan, then preparations can start. For now, Thrawn is gathering allies before he can turn attention at the Celestial Alliance. Thrawn's not the kind of guy to ignore tying up loose ends.
Anohter Great Chapter! Thrawn is the fucking Best Imperial Character! Always planning two Steps ahead. Always the smartest in the Room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IBOWGKze1w
9327428 Thrawn is. He never underestimates his opponets and only takes life whne there is a point to be made. In the Trilogy books and technian failed to tractor the heros. Instead of killing the tech he kill the officer that trained him
I find it hard to have Loor a Thrawnist. It took Issard to make him think outside the box and was loyal to Issard till he just couldn't.
I can see Commander Versio a Thrawnist but not her father because of the STUPID plot of scorch earth. frankly I hate EA BF2 for both loot box and story.
9348185 I remember reading about it online once, it was the tech that was executed because he tried to shift the blame unto the officer that trained him instead of admitting that he screwed up. It's like it says on the TV Tropes entry for The Thrawn Trilogy; Thrawn doesn't punish failure, he punishes fault.
9348194 Everyone has their own goals. Their goals may not be the same, but imagine working hard for years and not get anywhere while Isard pretty much strolled in to where she is because of her daddy.
9348324 Again, because of her father, she was able to get many connections and had everything since she was born wealthy. Her father groomed her since birth and was poised to take his position while others who have dedicated their life to the Empire like Loor had their careers stagnate once they reached a certain point.
I will reveal more info later on why ISB Agents like Kirtan Loor came to despise Ysanne Isard.
9348601 He was with Corsec around 2ABY. Hoth was on 3ABY. The story is currently at 4ABY.
Since this is AU, Loor left Corsec earlier and was sent on various missions including spying on General Evir Derricote, act as a messenger (on Thrawn’s behalf) between their mole in the Imperial Palace and Thrawn, spying on the Imperial hierarchy not part of their group including Isard, and assist codename Cipher when possible.
9348739 for me AU follows canon events till a mentioned point of divergence. I figure Thrawn in canon had some what similar movement but wouldn't think that much would change till Twilight.
“Except him for which, I will personally deliver his head to your desk.”
Won't that be a hunt to remember.
A tall, orange, Twi’lek/Human hybrid wearing a grey helmet with goggles, black vest, a white shirt underneath, brown pants, and black combat boots hopped off his speeder bike, carrying a bag full of parts as he walked towards his house.
That takes me back.
“I will beat you with two...no, THREE hands behind my back!”
Oh hell no!
“One Hundred Credits on Twilight Sparkle.”
One of the boys.
She closed her eyes as her left hand remained on the woman’s head. Her horn glowed brighter and brighter before there was a flash.
Thrawn Believes In Life After Love!!! ... Okay, that one, I'm sorry for.
“Captain Moden Canady of the Solicitude sir.”
Yay!
“Admiral Garrick Versio sir.
Boo!
I dunno'. I see Rax as someone who always wears a smug little smile and just laughs at insults, secretly making plans to make those who deliver them suffer. Biding his time and keeping his secrets to himself. Though I will say Grant calling him 'boy' was pretty good.
“Alright, here we go for like the hundredth time. Han, can you hear me? This is Wyvern. Pick it up, come on. Where are you?”
9363358 Well, yeah, I do see Rax laughing off insults from people, but only if they’re a lower rank or someone he has dirt on.
Grant outranks Rax and Rax can’t use his special connections with Palpatine for leverage since all Grand Moffs and Grand Admirals have Palpatine’s ears too. Some more than others though like Thrawn.
9363533 True. Still, Gallius would try to get in the odd subtle snipe without anyone noticing. He'd probably loose a tooth for his troubles but hey-ho.
Can’t wait to see the next chapter, I love all the context of different shows and video games. So when do you think Celestia is going to show up and try and start shit????
so, inferno squad is showing up now... this will get interesting..
Oh hi Grievous! Nice cameo!
Wow. Nice references.
Normally I'd be mad on seeing a reference to Ugandan Knuckles, but this time I will let it slide.
Love it!
How much longer until the Empire finally encounters the Equestrians, and Twilight and Spike can finally start working towards their vengeance?
9327309
When they arrive at Nirauan, then preparations can start. For now, Thrawn is gathering allies before he can turn attention at the Celestial Alliance. Thrawn's not the kind of guy to ignore tying up loose ends.
9327363
So I've heard. For an Imperial, he actually sounds like a decent guy to work for.
I feel as Admiral Thrawn is chaotically good for the benefit and the future or the empire, along with Twilight and Spike.
9327271
FUCKING love that reference and how it went to get there
Ps. love the foot fight
PPs. TWILIGHT IS OUR QUEEN!!
Anohter Great Chapter! Thrawn is the fucking Best Imperial Character! Always planning two Steps ahead. Always the smartest in the Room.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IBOWGKze1w
P.S: Love the Food Fight! All hail the Queen!
Awesome to see Captain Canady.
Awesome chapter.

9348218
I thought it was the other way around but yeah that is Thrawn
9348194
Everyone has their own goals. Their goals may not be the same, but imagine working hard for years and not get anywhere while Isard pretty much strolled in to where she is because of her daddy.
9348254
she didn't just stroll in. she has the talent to lead them and again without her Loor would jsut be like any other ISB agent
9348324
Again, because of her father, she was able to get many connections and had everything since she was born wealthy. Her father groomed her since birth and was poised to take his position while others who have dedicated their life to the Empire like Loor had their careers stagnate once they reached a certain point.
I will reveal more info later on why ISB Agents like Kirtan Loor came to despise Ysanne Isard.
9348442
having read and love X-wing it just feels too soon for Loor to do anything like this.
9348586
Well, this is between Episodes V and VI, getting very close to VI now.
9348592
so Loor should be with Corsec
9348601
He was with Corsec around 2ABY. Hoth was on 3ABY. The story is currently at 4ABY.
Since this is AU, Loor left Corsec earlier and was sent on various missions including spying on General Evir Derricote, act as a messenger (on Thrawn’s behalf) between their mole in the Imperial Palace and Thrawn, spying on the Imperial hierarchy not part of their group including Isard, and assist codename Cipher when possible.
9348650
okay AU but wouldn't think too much would change since Twilight hasn't been around much yet.
9348670
Well I mean I did state it’s an AU and it’s pretty obvious with all these Imperials plotting against the Emperor.
9348739
for me AU follows canon events till a mentioned point of divergence. I figure Thrawn in canon had some what similar movement but wouldn't think that much would change till Twilight.
Won't that be a hunt to remember.
That takes me back.
Oh hell no!
One of the boys.
Thrawn Believes In Life After Love!!!
...
Okay, that one, I'm sorry for.
Yay!

Though I will say Grant calling him 'boy' was pretty good.
Dun Dun DUUUUUUN!
Enjoying it so far. Keep it up.
9363358
Well, yeah, I do see Rax laughing off insults from people, but only if they’re a lower rank or someone he has dirt on.
Grant outranks Rax and Rax can’t use his special connections with Palpatine for leverage since all Grand Moffs and Grand Admirals have Palpatine’s ears too. Some more than others though like Thrawn.
9363413
I get that.
Still, Rax would have a high opinion of himself. He'd see people as either people he can control or people he will control.
That's why I had him as 'Mr Smiles'. He's kind of in his own league and everyone hates him for it.
9363523
That is true, but nobody in the Imperial hierarchy except for Palpatine and Vader want to mess with a Grand Admiral.
9363533
True. Still, Gallius would try to get in the odd subtle snipe without anyone noticing.
He'd probably loose a tooth for his troubles but hey-ho.
Does thrawn have Ezra captured. It fills me with dread but I love thrawn and Ezra equally so much conflicting feelings.
Can’t wait to see the next chapter, I love all the context of different shows and video games. So when do you think Celestia is going to show up and try and start shit????
Also Ezra and Thrawn ( insert pervy face here)
I’ll go home now...
9393268
When they arrive at Niruan, I’m gonna switch persepctive within chapters to show the Celestial Alliance’s side.
Next chapter please?!
9412092
Working on it
How many times is the art gonna change TBH I had to check the story description to realize I was waiting for this to update for a while now
Really liking it so far great read.
*Endless clicking*
