#senior captain ziinda

[gadmiral-thrawn]

Ok so lately I've been trying to figure out who's who on Jeremy Wilsons Greater Good cover. This is the one btw.

So (from left to right) i think these ppl r Ziinda, Bak'if, Samakro, Ar'alani, Thrawn and then Wutroow.

Tell me if i any of y'all got any oyher ideas

Do Chiss just have super silky hair naturally or does the Vigilant take on crates of hair product every time they resupply? The people want to know

Team Vigilant

And guest appearance 😁

Low quality Thrawn memes p.2

P.1

1. Thrawn trying to justify the BS he’s been conducting while part of the empire to Ar’alani. (it’s not convincing her)

2. Wutroow clowning Samakro for being demoted to Mid-Captain after Thrawn was reinstated as Senior Captain of the Springhawk. Ft. Ziinda being witness to a 2nd degree murder attempt.

3. Che’ri showing her gratitude to her father figure, Thrawn, on his personal ship.

4. Thrawn and Che’ri are just happy to be there while Ar’alani ponders how she’s going to get wine out of her white uniform.

5. A nice family portrait of the Senior Captain, Skywalker, and Caregiver of the Springhawk. (Thrawn was exiled a week ago and they needed an updated photo)

6. Thalias after she, quite literally, pulled a charric on Thurfian.

7. Ar’alani being the best Admiral and helping the skywalkers finish their last boss battle.

8. Ar’alani telling Zistalmu to stfu while he’s aboard her ship. (Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising. Chapter 14, pg. 255)

WARNING: YOU HAVE ENTERED MY UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENE-

or: Put your clothes back on, we're not having sex. I'm about to explain the naming conventions of the Chiss Ascendancy.

or: Get in loser, we're discussing Chiss culture!

Okay, so in Chiss culture, the parts of a name fall in the order they do on US drivers' licenses, separated by apostrophes- so Last'first'middle.

For example, we have Kiwu'tro'owmis. She's a member of the Kiwu family (and half of my Old Woman Yuri rarepair OTP but that's not relevant rn), so that's the first part of her name. Her given name is Tro, and her second name is Owmis. This all combined creates the whole name.

For convienience, Chiss often have core names, created by combining parts of their family, given, and usually second names, depending on how it'd be pronounced, since their whole names are mouthfuls. So, again with the previous example of Senior Captain Old Woman Yuri- Kiwu'tro'owmis=Ki(Wu'tro'ow)mis=Wutroow.

Another example- Mitth'raw'nuruodo=Mit(th'raw'n)uruodo=Thrawn.

In canon, there doesn't seem to be any official guide to why certain letters are chosen to create the core name, except ease of pronunciation. There may be something in Legends, but idk, I'm not that into the old canon yet.

It's custom for a Chiss to call someone of a higher social rank by their full name, rather than their core name. Core names are considered something rather intimate, shared between friends. Occasionally, as a sign of disdain between former friends, they'll also go back to using their full names as well.

Now, when a person reaches a certain rank in the military, it's custom for them to drop their family name, as it symbolizes they're no longer serving their family (the Chiss are very clannish and each family is basically a governing body), and are rather serving the Ascendancy as a whole. This also usually means they no longer have use of a core name, choosing to go by their full name- especially since they're now so high-ranked in society that it'd be customary to be called that way anyway- and

For instance, we have Irizi'ar'alani- formerly Ziara. After being promoted to Commodore, she cut ties with the Irizi family, becoming Ar'alani (the other half of my shitty Old Woman Yuri).

Usally, if a person is adopted into a new family, either after completing their military service or for other reasons, they'll get a new core name- for instance, Xodlak'in'daro/Lakinda became Irizi'in'daro/Ziinda. And Kiwu'raw'nuru/Vurawn became Mitth'raw'nuruodo/Thrawn.

I'm going to be honest a small amount of this might be fanon, it's been a hot minute since I've read the books, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Ooo this was incredibly interesting! I’d wondered where ‘Thrawn’ came from, and with the core names thing, if makes complete sense!

Ziinda has been added to the alignment chart! Who should I include next?

Memes for you hopefully you'll find it accurate :)

'I suggested he meet you in the Markenday Bar in half an hour. In case you and the senior captain wanted to celebrate his promotion'

in an ideal world where the crews of the Springhawk, Vigilant etc. meet up to celebrate not dying after Lesser Evil

Shenanigans include:

Ar'alani forgetting she isn't a teenaged cadet anymore and getting black-out drunk.

Samakro and Wutroow karaoke

Apros being given a birthday hat with 'Best Chiss' written on it in sharpie

Tensions between Ziinda and Roscu almost leading to a fight, they settle on having a vicious drinking contest instead.

Samakro giving Thrawn double shot rather than single shot drinks.

Dalvu turns out to be the best dancer.

Apros turns out to be the worst.

Kharill and Samakro having a push up contest.

Ar'alani and Thrawn disappear in the disabled bathroom for like half an hour and everyone thinks they're fcking but in reality Ar'alani is just vomiting and Thrawn's holding back her hair.

Thrawn leaves the bathroom to grab Ar'alani's jacket and a glass of water for her and doesn't understand why everyone is looking at him like that (including a particularly icy look from Wutroow)

Thalias arrives late, and Samakro immediately gives up his seat for her. Wutroow has to leave the table before she starts howling with laughter.

Ar'alani knows deep down she is going to be mortified the next day, but that doesn't stop her from doing karaoke anyway.

Drunk Thrawn and Drunk Ziinda get along like a house on fire.

They charged the entire bar tab to the CEDF.
