Mitth'raw'nuruodo (clone)

"Whatever the original Thrawn might have done, this particular being hasn't done anything wrong. Certainly nothing that deserves a summary execution."

- Luke Skywalker

Mitth'raw'nuruodo's clone was an immature clone of a Chiss male. Created by Grand Admiral Thrawn, this clone was hidden in a chamber beneath the Hand of Thrawn fortress on the planet Nirauan.

Biography
Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, and R2-D2 discovered Thrawn's clone during a mission to Nirauan in 19 ABY. He was still growing inside his Spaarti cloning cylinder, but was nearly mature. Luke and Mara believed him to be the intended fulfillment of Thrawn's claim that he would return ten years after his death.

An elaborate system of defenses was in place around the developing clone. These included a distracting audio-visual recording, loops of cord that sprouted from the floor to trip attackers, and two sentinel droids equipped with blasters and cortosis ore armor. A pair of ysalamiri were also present near the cloning cylinder.

Upon finding the clone, Luke and Mara debated the ethics of killing him and decided against it. A short time later, however, they were attacked by the sentinel droids. During the battle, the chamber began to flood with water from the Lake of Small Fish outside the fortress.

Trapped by the rising water and facing imminent death, Luke and Mara devised a plan to escape by making the Spaarti cylinder's power generator explode. This enabled them and R2-D2 to survive, but killed Thrawn's clone in the process.
