It was an original combination of Chiss and Imperial tactics personally arranged by the Grand Admiral, such as respect of the enemies, careful consideration of soldiers' lives, surgical strikes, demonstrative invasions, preventive strikes and the significant use of intelligence gathering. The Empire of the Hand's military ethics were based on Thrawn's vision of war. The connection between the Galactic Empire and the Empire of the Hand was kept mainly for historical aspects, but also for the psychological value as well. Also unlike the Empire, the Hand accepted the alien races that lived in the Unknown Regions of space into the ranks of their military. The Hand worked to form alliances with the native governments within the Unknown Regions as opposed to conquering them through brute force. Though largely based on the authoritarian structure of the Galactic Empire, the government of the Empire of the Hand operated more like a confederation than a true empire. The Empire of the Hand drew its name from the Hand of Thrawn, the Grand Admiral's main fortress based on Nirauan.
Thrawn, founder of the Empire of the Hand
Thrawn's empire was intended to establish the order and efficiency of Emperor Cosimo II's ideology, but without the Emperor's megalomania, the Tarkin Doctrine, and the institutionalized xenophobia. The Empire of the Hand was a faction that Grand Admiral Thrawn founded in the Unknown Regions by combining Chiss and Imperial ideologies and weaponry into a new military and political force.
