STAR WARS: Eleventh Fleet AU
Hey-hey, I worked, caught a cold, got sick and that’s enough…
…so, concept art for the Eleventh Fleet.
Ar'alani and Vah'nya's designs are fairly simple, but the problem with them in particular, and the Chiss in general, is their clothing and style.
There are many official references, including those from Legends, but each artist still has his own vision regarding, for example, the shape of the fleet.
Somewhere there is a strong homage to the design from the old canon, somewhere it was modernized, and in the latter they added the same “honor's chains”, which look a little strange on the laconic form. It seems to be in the Chiss style, but very impractical.
As a result, I am reworking the design of the expansion and defense fleet uniform, but more on that another time. Let's return to Ar'alani and Vah'nya.
At the beginning of the events of the "Eleventh Fleet", Senior General Ar'alani on his flagship "Vigilant" is increasingly confronted with the Grysks. A year will pass since her last meeting with Thrawn, when the invaders of the Ascendency space will openly attack the Chiss ships.
Such cat and mouse would continue for another year until the disappearance of another Night Dragon class war cruiser, subsequently leading to disaster in the heart of the Chiss Ascendancy. The Senior General will be one of the few superiors who, along with Ba'kif, can survive. Much of this will be down to Vanto and Ronan - unaccounted for variables in the Grysk's plans.
The trust placed in Thrawn's "alien protégés" paid off in full.
The Senior General was often accompanied by Senior Navigator Vah'nya. "Vigilant" almost always accepted missions to search for missing navigators. Vah'nya not only guided the ship through the stars and darkness of outer space, but she was much better at rehabilitating rescued navigators, as well as leading the other navigators on the ship. Friendship with Eli played an important role in this.
Because of her "anomaly" as a Navigator who hasn't lost her powers into adulthood, many of the regulations and rules simply don't work for Vah'nya the way they do for other girls. And to be an “anomaly” for Sindikure is a very subtle walking on the edge of a charrik. And yet, to the dissatisfaction of some aristocrats and syndics, the girl manages to balance on it for quite a long time.
+ bonus Ba'kif timeline concept art.
Because I’m not entirely sure that I’m right, but I really wanted to think about what this gorgeous grandpa would have looked like during the Thrawn. Ascendency Trilogy.
And I also reworked his “chains” and other form elements quite a bit.
And yes, I’m more than sure that Thrawn adopted Ba'kif’s “style” in his time.

the mental image of Morgan Elsbeth doing a Tarot reading for Thrawn because he wants to know whether Eli Vanto is thinking about him and WHAT he is thinking
“Five of Cups, Grand Admiral, Five of Cups.”

im sorry but literally nothing is more ridiculous than thrawn. and like his entire fucking life. his sister is a space wizard at age 5 (he never sees her again ✌️). he meets anakin fucking skywalker pre-emo era (????) and instantly is like “ok so u&padme right?”. yeah. he is EXILED. from his ENTIRE GALAXY. and the exile is NOT ACTUALLY EXILE. (???????). he meets a space cowboy and is like “you must be a spy. also youre mine now” and said cowboy just has to fucking take it because for some reason thrawn usurps the entire chain of command and meets the literal EMPEROR ~5 days after being FOUND randomly this galaxy. then he’s a superest senior to ever exist oh and also he’s just like the Only One Of His Species. That Anyone In This Entire Fucking Galaxy Has Ever Met. Okay. then he climbs up the chain of command until he’s literally a FLEET ADMIRAL and he has even more space wizards around him (vader, morgan elsbeth, kanan, ezra, ahsoka). he also fucking hates the most iconic part of the entire empire (the death star) and downvotes it every chance he gets. OH AND, THIS ENTIRE TIME HE HAS NO IDEA HOW POLITICS WORK. HE GETS BESTED BY A 17YO W A SHAVED HEAD (#basictraining #thumbera #headstubble) AND IS SENT THROUGH SPACE AT LIGHTSPEED VIA SPACE WHALE. AND FINDS MORE SPACE WIZARDS.

"Thrawn had already turned to face his attackers, a bottle of rum he'd snatched from behind the bar in his free hand. But instead of simplythrowing it, he spun it around twice in his hand, pointed it at thenearestattacker, and slashed his baton across the bottle's neck,shattering it."
-Thrawn: Alliance
I guess that's what happens at the Imperial Officers' Banquet.
