Star Wars: Mist Encounter by Timothy Zahn

3.0

This story shows how Thrawn went from high commander of the Chiss army to becoming a commander for the Empire. It's a bit of an aside, really, but it's still a relevant piece of the EU, since Outbound Flight didn't clarify how Thrawn makes that transition. I'm surprised to see how many short stories I've encountered so far that exist just to bridge different stories together, sometimes by doing some kind of retcon.
