Operation Shadow Hand

"Someone...or something...has been biding its time, while the feuding Imperial factions distracted our attention..."

- Mon Mothma

Operation Shadow Hand or the "Shadow Hand Strategy" was the Imperial name for the section of the Galactic Civil War following in the wake of the Thrawn campaign.

It was applied to the collective military campaigns that the reborn Emperor Palpatine launched in an attempt to retake control of the Galaxy for the Galactic Empire. These were essentially "wave assaults" from Byss and the rest of the Deep Core.
