40	* SparedByTheAdaptation: In ''Legends'', Thrawn's brother Thrass was killed during the events of ''Outbound Flight'' around 30 years before the Battle of Yavin. Since the version of the Outbound Flight here is completely different from ''Legends'', Thrass was spared his ''Legends'' counterpart's fate.
41	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It’s not made clear what happened to the rest of the Seventh Fleet. Thrawn assumes they were all killed by the purrgil. A comment made by Sabine later reveals that the Seventh Fleet was stranded in a system near Lothal where they were eventually rescued by Imperial forces.
