"It certainly impressed the Captain, enough that he brought Thrawn to the Emperor himself."
Eli's smile faltered for just a moment at the memory. He could still vividly recall the Emperor's yellow eyes boring into Thrawn's, and then focusing on him, making Eli feel very small. The Emperor had a sort of aura around him, one that had set Eli on edge, making him afraid to even sneeze in the man's presence.
Altair wasn't like that, though. He was Sith, and yet he was personable and easy to get along with. No scary presence, or superiority complex.
Brushing the memory aside, Eli said, "He got court marshaled more than once, but they always ended with him getting another promotion. But, it seemed like there were lots of people who wanted nothing better than to see him fail, just because he wasn't their idea of an Imperial Naval officer."
