Marg Sabl

"General Skywalker said he'd be a one-man Marg Sabl. What did he mean?''" "Oh. It's a battle tactic invented by his former Padawan apprentice. A warship turns its hangar bay away from its attacker and launches its fighters unseen. They stay in the ship's visual shadow while they form up and accelerate to attack speed. Then they come around their ship from all sides, attacking the enemy from every direction at once." "''Interesting. I can see how that could be useful against certain species."

- Thrawn learning of the Marg Sabl from Padmé Amidala

A Marg Sabl was a tactical maneuver used in naval warfare. During the Clone Wars, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano invented the maneuver during the Battle of Ryloth against a Separatist Alliance blockade. In the time after she left the Jedi Order, Padmé Amidala informed Thrawn of the maneuver during their time on Mokivj after Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, Tano's former Jedi Master, used the term as a figure of speech.
