“Yiv had his own Battle Dreadnought,” Jixtus said mildly. “Thrawn had a one-person freighter,” Qilori said. “Are you starting to understand who this Chiss is?” Haplif shook his head. “No. I don’t believe it.” “I was there, Haplif,” Qilori said. “I saw it; and on one level I don’t even believe it. But it happened.” He looked back at Jixtus. “Again with respect, sir, if you listen to me on anything, please listen to me on this. If Thrawn gets involved in this operation, it’s over. And not in a good way.”
