Voss Parck/Legends

Voss Parck was an Imperial officer who later served as ward of the Empire of the Hand.

The Parck family was a noble bloodline of military heroes from Corulag stretching back to the days of the Old Republic. Voss Parck, followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather before him by entering the officers' training program at the Imperial Academy on Corulag without enlisted experience. Upon graduation with honors, Parck advanced through the Imperial Starfleet's ranks to earn the rank of captain and command of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Strikefast.

The Imperial Starfleet sent Strikefast to the edge of the Outer Rim on a series of exploratory missions that were trying on Parck’s loyalty, leadership and patience. When one of Strikefast's landing teams discovered Thrawn on a world in the Unknown Regions, it was Parck who belayed Mosh Barris' order to bombard the world. Parck brought Thrawn aboard Strikefast and returned to Coruscant to present the alien to Emperor Palpatine. Palpatine's pleasure at the retention of Thrawn resulted in a promotion for Parck, and a backwater Outer Rim assignment for Barris.

Parck was hitched to Thrawn's rapidly rising star, and the still young Imperial officer had many prestigious honors bestowed upon his as Thrawn ascended to the rank of Grand Admiral. But when Thrawn was dispatched to the Unknown Regions under the guise of a political snafu, Parck was demoted to commander and reassigned to the Imperial Star Destroyer Admonitor, a part of Thrawn’s small fleet.

In 9 ABY, Thrawn appeared and began to build a force to strike at the New Republic, Parck was dispatched to Nirauan under orders from Thrawn. Upon arrival at Niruan, Parck assumed defense of the Hand of Thrawn, a secret installation of Chiss forces loyal to Thrawn. These forces formed the core of a shadow empire created by Thrawn known as the Empire of the Hand. For nearly twenty years, Parck, assisted by his Chiss aide-de-camp Stent, oversaw the expansion of Thrawn’s empire through loyal Chiss forfes.
