Mitth'raw'nuruodo (clone)

Before the Thrawn campaign of 9 ABY, the Chiss Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo, core name "Thrawn," sent a spaarti cloning cylinder to the Hand of Thrawn fortress on the planet Nirauan, storing a clone of himself in the cylinder, hiding it in a secret chamber. Before leaving Nirauan to commence his campaign, Thrawn told his Empire of the Hand forces that if he was reported dead, he would return in ten years. To accomplish that, Thrawn set up a timed system, which he reset every time he returned to the Hand of Thrawn, to awake his clone.

In 9 ABY, Thrawn's Noghri bodyguard, Rukh, killed him, and the Grand Admiral's forces began to await the Chiss's return. Ten years later, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and former Emperor's Hand Mara Jade infiltrated the Hand of Thrawn, discovering Thrawn's clone; however, several security droids that were protecting Thrawn's clone attacked the pair, and the infiltrators were forced to destroy a wall that led to a lake, flooding the chamber and killing the clone.
