BOOK DESCRIPTION:
The official manga adaptation of the New York Times bestselling novel Thrawn by Timothy Zahn.

Grand Admiral Thrawn’s legend begins far from the Empire, deep within the enigmatic Chiss Ascendancy. Exiled from his people and driven by a relentless strategic brilliance, Thrawn navigates a treacherous world of shifting loyalties, hidden threats, and political maneuverings. Across dangerous missions and high-stakes confrontations, he proves himself a master tactician—one whose cold precision and insight draw the attention of powers beyond his own galaxy.

This is the story of Thrawn’s earliest rise, reimagined in striking manga form. From the shadows of the Unknown Regions to the brink of Imperial discovery, Star Wars: Thrawn: The Manga Vol. 1 charts the formative steps of a mind destined to reshape the galaxy.
