Thrawn's eyes blinked and his eyebrows raised. Now he began to understand his transgressions. He let each of his current opponents talk, and then blinked again, his face still unnervingly calm. His voice was chilled to match. "I apologize if I have caused any irreversible issues. That was not my intent. I also now understand that I do not have the same power and authority to do as I see fit, in the name of the greater good, as I did before coming to this Galaxy." he said.

"If it will help my case, I will gladly share all the information I have gleaned. Perhaps I have found something that you have not." Thrawn's glowing red eyes turned to Božidar, and narrowed slightly.

As Grand Admiral of the Empire, Thrawn was allowed a very lengthy Leash to do as he pleased on the border region of the Galactic Empire and the Unknown Regions of the Galaxy. He knew what was out there, and was able to do what he thought was needed without question from his crew. There were very few at or above his level who would, or could stop him. He had the Emperor's Blessing. But this was not the Galactic Empire. This was the Terran National Government. He was not a Grand Admiral, just a regular Admiral. Perhaps he could work his way back up to a similar Rank.
