The Thrawn trilogy, also known as the Heir to the Empire trilogy, is
a series of best-selling novels written by Timothy Zahn. The novels are set
in the Expanded Universe of the Star Wars galaxy approximately five years
after the events depicted in the film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of
the Jedi.

The series introduced many notable characters, such as Mara Jade, Talon
Karrde, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, one of the more notable Expanded Universe
villains. Also, the trilogy first publicly revealed the name of the galactic
capital world of Coruscant.

Zahn's treatment of Thrawn included the original element of artistic analysis
of cultures. Thrawn devised military strategy based in part on the aspects of
his enemies' mindset that he derived from their cultures' art, e.g. determining
from his study of paintings that a simultaneous englobement with small fighters
would induce temporary paralysis in an enemy's command structure.
