The Hand of Thrawn

The Hand of Thrawn was a datacard stored in Emperor Palpatine's private Mount Tantiss storehouse on the planet Wayland. The title of the datacard connected it with Grand Admiral Thrawn's fortress on the planet Nirauan, but all the data was destroyed by ten years of exposure to natural elements. It was among seven datacards that Devaronian treasure hunter Lak Jit discovered in 19 ABY, but Jit was forced to hand over his discovery to New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo. The New Republic nearly tore itself apart over the discovery of another datacard that Jit found, the Caamas Document, but knowledge about the existence of The Hand of Thrawn remained limited to select individuals in the New Republic hierarchy and their closest associates.
