Unidentified military commander

The military commander was a member of a species which had developed a primitive form of space travel. At some point prior 0 ABY he came into conflict with Imperial officer, Mitth'raw'nuruodo. The military commander had sculpted three warrior statues from wood and covered them with precious metals and gems. Thrawn&mdash;who learned about his enemies by studying works of their art&mdash;wanted these statues to gain insight into his enemy.
