  • Appointed unexpectedly by Emperor Palpatine at the New Year Fete Week celebrations of 2 BBY, the twelve Grand Admirals were the most senior officers of the Imperial Navy and answered directly to the Emperor, or his authorized executors, in all matters. The creation of the rank was widely recognized as a means to increase the Emperor's direct control of the Imperial Military. The initial cadre of Grand Admirals, called the "Circle of Twelve" by Palpatine, consisted of Martio Batch, Nial Declann, Octavian Grant, Josef Grunger, Ishin-Il-Raz, Afsheen Makati, Danetta Pitta, Peccati Syn, Miltin Takel, Osvald Teshik, Rufaan Tigellinus, and Demetrius Zaarin. Numerous conspiracy theories were swapped within the Imperial Military as to the real reason for the Emperor's appointments: Grunger, Takel, Tigellinus and Teshik were respected strategists with years of experience as Fleet Admirals, and little opposition was heard to their appointments, but Declaan, Grant, Makati and Syn merely average flag officers who were considered odd choices for the rank. Zaarin and Batch were better known for their supervision of cutting-edge military research than battlefield victories. There was a cultural divide within the Grand Admirals as well: Il-Raz and Pitta were fanatical New Order partisans notable only for the ferocity of their politics (and rumors swirled that Pitta had alien ancestry), while the Teshik family were Generationals that had dwelt in Anaxes' Sirpar Hills for centuries. A few months before the Battle of Endor, Demetrius Zaarin attempted a coup against Emperor Palpatine, which was put down by forces led by Lord Darth Vader and the mysterious Chiss Vice Admiral Thrawn. After Zaarin's death, Thrawn was officially promoted to Grand Admiral as his replacement (although other evidence suggests that the Chiss had, in fact, been promoted in secret at an earlier stage). Thereafter Thrawn was sent to continue his exploration mission in the Unknown Regions, and he was not present at Endor.
