* [[TragicVillain Queen Trios]], introduced as TheUnfavourite child of her father who is sent to die in an assassination attempt on Darth Vader, instead finds herself ruler of Shu-Torun in the wake of the disastrous plot. Rather than be cowed into meek subservience, Trios instead evolves into an utterly ruthless agent of the Empire, willing to do whatever is necessary to stave off Imperial wrath. The young queen's first act as ruler is to crush a rebellion; Trios weaponizes her own experiences to coldly secure her reign by executing traitor barons and replacing them with their youngest, more easily manipulated children. Later tasked with infiltrating the Rebellion, Trios masterfully influences Rebel and Imperial alike to gain Leia's trust, aiding her in raising revolts on Mon Cala and even sabotaging one of Shu-Torun's prize starship drills to see the ruse through. Trios' machinations allow the Rebel Alliance to grow and unite, leaving her in the prime position to sabotage their armada so that Vader can slaughter them all. Even when Leia attacks Shu-Torun in revenge, Trios quickly organizes a response to the assault before meeting her end in a duel, apologetic for the misery she's wrought yet forever adamant that everyone--herself included--is expendable so long as her people survive.

Thrawn is a strategical and analytical genius who inspires both admiration and loathing from his peers in the Chiss Ascendany. Dispatched to uncover the culprit behind attacks on the Ascendancy's capital world, he uncovers the Grysk conspiracy to destroy the Chiss. Using his cunning and the resoucres at his disposal, he defeats regimes supported by the Grysk and foils plots to throw the Ascendancy into a civil war.

Dispatched to deal with the rising Rebel Alliance, Thrawn discerns Kallus is their mole and uses him to feed them false information, his plans culminating in the destruction of Chopper Base and the elimination of Phoenix Squadron; Thrawn's total victory is prevented only by by his incompetent allies and the intervention of an EldritchAbomination.

Quickly proving to be far more intelligent than the incompetent [[PuppetKing King Rash]], Kalani's stratagems turn an attempted rescue into the near execution of the entire movement.
