Hypothetical situation: You are the galaxy's best tactician and strategist in a wild region, establishing a stronghold of the Empire. During some mission you discover that some of your troops aren't as sharp as they could be. You discuss this with your loyal protege Captain Niriz, and you decide to go undercover and pose like a Colonel, the Stormie armor will hide your unique Chiss features, and test your troops without them being aware that you are the great and bright super grand admiral. Meanwhile your only contanct to the known galaxy, Isard, needs to contact you, she contacts Niriz and she finds out that you aren't on you flagship but instead playing Colonel. Then comes Loor and you are angry, the first idiot you see you send to Colonel Thrawn's group to learn discipline. Hmm Perhpas I could write that story.
