TIE_Snake Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hello, Do you think there will be several grand admirals as heroes in EaW ? As I have seen, maybe only Zaarin, Thrawn is almost certainly out because he is at the unknown regions at this time, but there could have more Gd. Admirals in the game...

Jan Gaarni Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thrawn wasn't a Grand Admiral at this time either. So that's an even better reason for him not being a Grand Admiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I don't think we'll be seeing any Grand Admirals in the game. We've already got commanders of star destroyers with Piett and company. If the expansion adds more interactive features with planets other than attack/defend a la rebellion, that would be a strong reason to include them.

Admiral Sith Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 He was a Grand Admiral at this time, theres a short story about how he gets the Noghri from Vader in which hes a Grand Admiral. Before Episode 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Well, that is contradicting already established facts (10 year old even) about Thrawn then, as he was only a Rear Admiral right after Hoth (Reference: Star Wars TIE Fighter). And a Captain around ANH (Reference: Star Wars Galaxies and various books/comics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 he Replaced Zaarin as the 12th Grand Admiral Shortly after Zaarin was defeated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Sith Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 He was the 13th Grand Admiral not 12th, and he was a Grand Admiral prior to the First Death Star. According to the short story "Side Trip" by Timothy Zahn he was a Grand Admiral before Corran Horns father died, which was before the Battle of Yavin.

Palpatine_dc Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 You are all correct. Those sources conflicted and it has been retconned, making Thrawn's promotion to Grand Admiral a secret to the rest of the Imperial Navy. So while his official rank was Vice Admiral, his real, secret rank was Grand Admiral. In any case I don't see the use of a Grand Admiral Hero. Being the guy in charge is the player's job.

{DHU}Screed Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 They could be used as a bonus modifier. Like Tarkin is. Mod makers will do wonders, I will be very surprised not to see Thrawn in a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
