- "It was my one failure, out on the Fringes. The one time when understanding a race's art gave me no insight at all into its psyche. At least not at the time. Now, I believe I'm finally beginning to understand them."
"I'm sure that will prove useful in the future."
"I doubt it. I wound up destroying their world." - ―Grand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Gilad Pellaeon
During the Imperial Era, Captain Thrawn and his fleet of Galactic Empire Star Destroyers bombarded the[2] Wild Space[4] planet[2] Oben[1] after Thrawn failed to understand its inhabitants, the Kaleesh, by studying their art.[2]
