Thrawn: Art of War [Star Wars]

It would not be a Star Wars story without a trio of main characters, thus this is where our story begins.

Ensign Eli Vanto is assigned as the Chiss Mitth'raw'nuruodo's personal aide and translator, tasked with guiding him through the Royal Imperial Academy and the inner workings of the Empire. Though the duo at first appear isolated, foreigners in a world of Core inhabitants, they are soon joined by Ensign Qi'da - a Naboo human with her own secrets and agenda.

Together the trio wade through the Imperial military endeavors, achieving high rankings in both the military and political fields. However, after a tragedy knocks them back down to a clan of two, Thrawn must sort his feelings and forge ahead, desperate to succeed in saving his people from the threat looming in the Unknown Regions while the Empire deals with the comparably insignificant small band of Rebels.
