Added DiffLines:

* BullyingADragon: He tried pointing a gun at Yoda. This was unwise, but fortunately Yoda decidedly merely to humble him, rather than anything else. It worked.


Added DiffLines:

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The Luke (young, naïve kid) to Qennto's Han and Maris' Leia. Later on in life, he even becomes proficient with the Force... he just uses it for decidedly more amoral ends than Luke did.
* TheDreaded: Decades after he vanished, Talon Karde is still utterly terrified of him.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Becomes one after a crash landing on Dagobah.


Added DiffLines:

* RetiredBadass: When he finally appears in ''Visions of the Future'', he's a pretty genial old guy, quite content to enjoy retirement. [[spoiler:Though he's still got a lot of his chops.]]
* SecretKeeper: One of the few in the galaxy to know about Yoda living on Dagobah.
* UnwittingPawn: Used as one by Thrawn in his plan to deal with the Vagaari.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: From somewhat naïve kid to ruthless smuggler lord.

* BadassBureaucrat: He's a well-respected diplomat by the time the novel opens, due to his bluntness and willingness to see both sides. It's how he leverages support for Outbound Flight, solving a mining dispute by catching a missile aimed at the negotiaters using the Force, then berating both sides into accepting a compromise ''while still holding the missile in place with the Force''. [[spoiler:Unluckily for him, it's all part of Palpatine's plan.]]

No longer a trope.


* YourCheatingHeart: She probably doesn't do anything with Thrawn, but she is certainly attracted to him and she lets him convince her to keep their meetings secret from Qennto and Car'das. She also gets angry and defensive when asked what she and Thrawn are getting up to when they're on their own.

* InnocentGrayEyes: Lorana is gray-eyed and an absolute sweetheart.




to:

* AmbiguousEnding: Maris and Qennto fly off together in the end with a stash of loot, but are they going to stay together (professionally and/or romantically) after Qennto showed his worst self and Maris realized there were better options in the galaxy?
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Qennto insists that he is the captain and that he should be the one leading their conversations with Thrawn, but after Thrawn zeroes in on Car'das, he is relegated to the background while Car'das and Maris start to have more influence on Thrawn and the plot.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: He is obviously jealous of Thrawn's relationship with Maris, but he is also right that Thrawn is not what Maris wants him to be and that they should be suspicious of him.



* NaïveNewcomer: He spends the first chapters of ''Outbound Flight'' completely in over his head since he is only twenty-three and relatively new to smuggling.

Rak's girlfriend.Dubrak Qennto's girlfriend and the second-in-command aboard the ''Bargain Hunter.''



* WideEyedIdealist: Described as such.

to:

* AmbiguousEnding: Maris and Qennto fly off together in the end with a stash of loot, but are they going to stay together (professionally and/or romantically) after Qennto showed his worst self and Maris realized there were better options in the galaxy?
* AmbiguousSituation: Maris warns Car'das not to disagree with Qennto ''especially'' when Car'das knows better, and she later hides that she is meeting Thrawn alone from Qennto because she knows he'll react badly. Is she genuinely afraid of Qennto's temper, or does she simply prefer to avoid arguments?
** Her exact position on the ''Bargain Hunter'' isn't clear to Car'das, who considers "copilot," "partner," and "girlfriend" before settling on "second-in-command."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first chapter, Maris navigates Car'das through Qennto's moods, warns him to close his eyes before the Connor net hits them, and after she shows off her expertise as a pilot, she tells Car'das that this is ''Qennto's'' ship. She is kind, helpful, and underappreciated by her boyfriend.
* ExcellentJudgeofCharacter: She claims she is one. Considering she ended up in a relationship with Qennto and she believes Thrawn is honorable, she isn't as good as she thinks she is. However, she does make several good calls that suggest she could actually be one, if she didn't let her idealism fool her.
* HiddenDepths: She is not at all discomforted by the sight of dead bodies, and she immediately clocks that the ship they've boarded has been repaired several times.
* MoralityPet: She serves as one to Thrawn, who changes his battle plans to try and save the Vagaari's living shields, justifies his actions to her, and has Car'das lie to her so that she will keep her good opinion of him.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Already in a relationship with a coarse, suspicious smuggler, Maris idolizes Thrawn at first sight and compares him to the high-minded people she knew in school, but more mature and grounded in reality, as well as cultured, intelligent, noble... Thrawn's much darker than that, even if he does possess the qualities she sees. Thrawn tells Car'das, who sees Thrawn a little more clearly, not to disillusion her, because true idealists are so rare, and he wouldn't want to be responsible for crushing even one.
* UptownGirl: Car'das describes her upbringing as "genteel," and she attended schools where she learned advanced theoretical physics and hung around with a group of [[BourgeoisBohemian artistic but shallow]] fellow students. Her love interests are the smuggler Qennto and the merit adoptive Thrawn.
* YourCheatingHeart: She probably doesn't do anything with Thrawn, but she is certainly attracted to him and she lets him convince her to keep their meetings secret from Qennto and Car'das. She also gets angry and defensive when asked what she and Thrawn are getting up to when they're on their own.
* WideEyedIdealist: Described as such. such.
* WordOfGod: At [=AwesomeCon=] 2016, Zahn was asked what characters of his he would like to re-canonize for Disney, and he named Maris, [[https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/star-wars-timothy-zahn-expanded-universe-awesome-con-interview/ whom he imagined would have become a Rebel strategist using the techniques she learned from Thrawn.]]

* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: He's arrogant and authoritarian, certainly, but he's still considered good at the start of "Outbound Flight". Then he starts to exhibit increasingly authoritarian tendencies once the mission starts, essentially taking over the ship to the alarm of his fellow Jedi [[spoiler:Thrawn's attack and the deaths of the other Jedi finally push him over the edge, leading him to fall to the Dark Side]].

* BadassOnPaper: Notably subverted: Obi-Wan regards him as a ShamelessSelfPromoter and regards him as being impossibly overblown. Yet doing one Force-meld to control Outbound Flight's weapons exhausts Obi-Wan. He's staggered when C'Baoth casually mentions he's performed 4 already since they set out, with no sign of fatigue, leaving Kenobi to reluctantly wonder if C'Baoth might be as powerful as he's claimed.

* FaceHeel Turn: [[spoiler:Falls to the Dark Side after Thrawn's forces kill the other Jedi aboard, and almost Force Chokes him to death before Doriana uses the radiation bombs to off him for good.]]
* FantasticRacism: Regarded Force-users as inherently superior to any being who wasn't Force-sensitive. This saw him gradually subvert the legal chain of Republic command on Outbound Flight as he concentrated more power in the hands of the Jedi.
* ForegoneConclusion: His death and Thawn's involvement in it were confirmed all the way back in "Heir to the Empire", making "Outbound Flight" a major case of this.
* {{Jerkass}}: A [[SmugSnake smug person person]] who regarded non-Force sensitives as inferior.inferior. Even Palpatine couldn't stand him.
** JerkassHasAPoint: He's not wrong to say the Republic he and the colonists are leaving behind is hopelessly bloated and corrupt, it's just he wants to swap that for a Jedi-led government which isn't necessarily better (at least under him).
* LegacyCharacter: His clone, Joruus C'Baoth, goes on to create major problems for Luke Skywalker in The Thrawn Trilogy a good 36 years later.
* PetTheDog: He's much nicer to Anakin than to either Obi-Wan or his own Padawan and genuinely seems to mean it.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: Obi-Wan regards him as this. Notably, backstory in the original Thrawn Trilogy had him declare himself a Jedi Master, in total contradiction to the Jedi Council system seen in the films.
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: He's arrogant and authoritarian, certainly, but he's still considered good at the start of "Outbound Flight". Then he starts to exhibit increasingly authoritarian tendencies once the mission starts, essentially taking over the ship to the alarm of his fellow Jedi [[spoiler:Thrawn's attack and the deaths of the other Jedi finally push him over the edge, leading him to fall to the Dark Side]].
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Has zero time for Thrawn or his warning of the mysterious force in the Unknown Regions. [[spoiler:Pays for it with his life, and those of all 50,000 colonists aboard.]]
* VillainousLegacy: Aside from the small matter of his mad clone trying to destroy the New Republic decades later, his draconian tendencies towards non-Jedi were the reason Outbound Flight's survivors feared and hated the Jedi with such a passion.

!!!'''Species:''' Human

->'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/OutboundFlight'' | ''Literature/SurvivorsQuest'' (remains only)

-->''"Alone for a Jedi is sometimes the only way."''

The Padawan of Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth. Her parents were employees at the Jedi Temple, but were dismissed after Lorana was taken in by the Jedi. As a Jedi Knight, she was selected by her master for the Outbound Flight exploration mission. When Commander Thrawn attacked the Outbound Flight, she, Syndic Thrass, C'baoth, and Jorj Car'das worked together to amend the situation, but Lorana and Thrass gave up their lives to safely crash the Outbound Flight on a planetoid in the Redoubt. Their remains wouldn't be found until about half a century later when the Outbound Flight is rediscovered.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: How she feels when she saw her master praising Anakin, and almost generally because of her master's ego. Also this to her brother Dean, since her parents always had nothing but praise for her, even though they never actually saw her after sending her to the Jedi.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Never one ever learned that she and Thrass sacrificed their lives to save some of the members of Outbound Flight.
* HeroicSacrifice: Gave her life to safely crash the remains of Outbound Flight and save those who remained aboard.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: With Thrass before they die.
* LaserBlade: Her lightsaber color is green.

The master of Padawan Lorana Jinzler. He led the ''Outbound Flight'' project, but due to his arrogance and events outside of his control, the project failed when the ''Outbound Flight'' was attacked by a Chiss security team led by Thrawn, resulting in his death.

Palpatine used samples of C'baoth's DNA to create a clone of him, Joruus C'baoth, as one of his men.

* EarlyBirdCameo: His remains first appear in ''Survivor's Quest''. This isn't explained until later when ''Outbound Flight'' get released, where it is revealed that the remains belong to Thrawn's late brother, Thrass.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: How evil Thrawn is is up to your interpretation, but he clearly loved his brother.
* FamousLastWords: To Lorana, as they pilot the ''Outbound Flight'' into crashlanding on a planet in the Redoubt.
-->''"Then, let us bring this part of history to a close. May warriors' fortune smile on our efforts."''
* ForgottenFallenFriend: He has never been brought up outside of ''Outbound Flight'' or ''Survivor's Quest''. [[JustifiedTrope To be fair]], Thrawn has no reason to bring him up as he isn't relevant to his situations later.
* DeadAllAlong[=/=]NeverFoundTheBody: Nobody ever found out what happened to the ''Outbound Flight'', so nobody ever knew what happened to Thrass and they assumed either he died or would eventually come back. It isn't until a little less than half a century later that the Chiss discover his remains aboard the returned ''Outbound Flight''.
* HeroicSacrifice: He and Lorana pilot the ''Outbound Flight'' into the remote and highly radioactive Redoubt to keep its technology from falling into Formbi's hands.
* OneShotCharacter: He's only appeared in ''Outbound Flight''. Technically, he appeared in ''Survivor's Quest''... as a body that's been dead for decades.
