Voss Parck

Voss Parck was a Human male that served as an officer in the Republic Navy and later Imperial Navy, where he discovered the future Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo and later served as the commander in his Empire of the Hand. Hailing from a naval family on Corulag, Parck followed the expected career path and joined the Republic Navy, serving in the Clone Wars. Shortly after the Galactic Republic became the Galactic Empire, Parck came across Thrawn while chasing smugglers in the Unknown Regions. Impressed by Thrawn's tactical abilities, Parck offered him a position in the Empire and took him back to Coruscant, where Galactic Emperor Palpatine was greatly pleased with Parck's find.

Parck remained attached to Thrawn's career in the Imperial Military, following the Admiral on his deployment to subjugate the Unknown Regions and its myriad aggressors in the name of the Emperor. Deeply devoted to and admiring of Thrawn, Parck served as his right-hand man throughout the mission, helping to bring many worlds under Imperial control and defeat the forces of warlord Nuso Esva. When Thrawn returned to known space to take command of surviving forces under his confederation, Parck was left behind as steward of the Empire of the Hand, a hidden power that Thrawn had carved out from Wild Space.

Upon Thrawn's death, Parck assumed sole command of the Empire of the Hand, continuing its mission to pacify the hostile civilizations in the Unknown Regions, which he regarded as essential to the future of the galaxy. When a hoax proclaimed the return of Thrawn ten years after his death, Parck cautiously opened relations with the galaxy at large, retaining high-level diplomatic ties even after the impostor was exposed.
