Learn about Thrawn’s beginnings in the Dominance of the Chiss in the first book of Timothy Zahn’s new trilogy.
Beyond the far, far away Galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: an unstable, unexplored, and almost unfit for flights part of space. There, with equal probability, you can find both deeply hidden secrets and obvious dangers. And in the middle of this swirling chaos lies the Dominance—the homeland of the mysterious Chiss and the nine families who rule them.
The Dominance’s calm—the beacon of the world and stability in the region—is disrupted by a daring attack by unknown enemies on the capital. The Dominance entrusts unraveling this mysterious incident to one of its most brilliant young officers—someone who couldn’t boast noble lineage, but was accepted into the powerful Mitth family and given the name Thrawn.
With the support of the Expansion Fleet and Admiral Ar’alani behind him, Thrawn sets out to search for answers. But as he pushes deeper and deeper into the vastness of space that his people call the Chaos, the essence of his mission begins to look completely different.
And then it becomes clear that the real threat to the Dominance is only just coming.
