Mitth family

The Mitth family, also called House Mitth, and formerly known as the Eighth Ruling Family or Eighth Family, was a Chiss family in the Chiss Ascendancy. It was once one of the Nine Ruling Families. Every Chiss Ruling Family was associated with a specific color, and that of the Eighth Ruling Family was burgundy.

At some later date, it appears that Thrawn likewise became a Syndic of the Family, as in 19 ABY, Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade encountered warriors from his Household Phalanx on Nirauan, identifying themselves as warriors serving "Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo", and wearing the burgundy uniforms of the Family.

In 22 ABY, the number of Ruling Families was still said to be nine, although it was not said explicitly that the designation of Eighth Ruling Family was still borne by the same affinity. By 28 ABY, the number of Ruling Families in the Ascendancy had been reduced to four, and the Mitth family was not mentioned as one of them. Despite her claim of being an officer of the Expansionary Defense Force, Commander Hess'irolia'nuruodo wore a burgundy-and-black uniform, a color scheme previously associated with the Mitth family and Grand Admiral Thrawn's rogue Household Phalanx.
