Description:

Chaos Rising: Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. Nestled within its swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them. The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy. Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants: Thrawn, born of no title but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth. With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back and the aid of Admiral Ar'alani, answers begin to fall into place. However, as Thrawn's first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space known as the Chaos, he realizes that the mission is not what it seems, and the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.

Greater Good: Thrawn's latest triumph rests newly on his shoulders. He has led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth, but the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums; their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: gifts offered freely and services granted unconditionally. Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the plot, they discover a chilling truth: rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage resources, their enemy strikes at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. As rivalry and suspicion sow discord among allies, each warrior must decide what matters most: the security of their family or the survival of the Ascendancy itself.

Lesser Evil: For thousands of years, The Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. Led by the Nine Ruling Families, their leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions. However, that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe that winnows away trust and loyalty. Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer to civil war. The Chiss are no strangers to war; their mythic status in the Chaos was earned through conflict and terrible deeds, some long buried. To ensure the Ascendancy's future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family's legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. To secure the salvation of the Ascendancy, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything, including the only home he has ever known?
