Thrawn Pincer

Devised by Admiral Ackbar, this space warfafe was developed shortly after Grand Admiral Thrawn's war on the New Republic. It was based on the Interdictor strategies brilliantly employed by the Grand Admiral.

It starts with a main taskforce being divided into two. The first group would drop into an enemy system and engage the enemy fleet while the second would jump into a nearby system. When the enemy fleet activates its gravity well projectors, the commander would then order the second fleet to make a microjump through hyperspace, usually always behind the enemy fleet.

This tactic was first used during the liberation of Ciutric from Prince-Admiral Krennel. It resulted in his death and the victory of New Republic forces.
