Karrde witnesses this and sees mysterious asteroids, which soon are "cloaked" and released as hazards around Coruscant during Thrawn's "hit-and-fade" attack. Two smugglers actively avenge their friend's death by sabotaging the Imperial Bilbringi Shipyard. Thrawn is furious, fears the consequences, and sets up Karrde for blame. Meanwhile, Karrde seeks convened smugglers and rallies them to New Republic's side only when their meeting is raided by Imperials. Karrde's partner, Mara Jade, who has budding Force powers and is convalescing on Coruscant, tells Leia that the late Emperor's voice is commanding her to "kill Luke Skywalker." Thrawn placates C'baoth by sending a commando team to kidnap the Solos, but only succeeds in implicating Mara as an accomplice. While seeking evidence of clone shipments, Jedi Luke Skywalker runs into a smuggler, Talon Karrde, and agrees to pay him for information. C'baoth wants only to make Leia Organa Solo and her twins his apprentices. Thrawn and Joruus C'baoth vie for control of the Empire but temporarily cooperate to convince Rebels that a powerful new weapon exists. Both C'baoth and Thrawn die, so the headless Empire ceases to be a threat. As Thrawn and the insane Master Jedi Joruus C'baoth vie for control of the Empire, a small band of Rebels flies to the hidden facility and destroys it. Thrawn's clone production, sped up so much that insanity is guaranteed, must be ended. The Last Command pits the New Republic against the Grand Admiral Thrawn in a battle for survival.
