Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy

The Thrawn trilogy, also known as the Heir to the Empire trilogy, is a series of best-selling science fiction novels written by Timothy Zhan. The novels are set in the Star Wars Legends universe, approximately five years after the events depicted in the film Return of the Jedi.

The series introduced many notable characters, such as Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, the main antagonist of the series.

It was followed by the The Hand of Thrawn two-book series (1997 and 1998), also authored by Zahn.
