"Of course"

Unlike most of the high command, who were disgusted at the idea of hosting a war criminal, Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo was not repulsed. Rather, he was curious.

Thrawn had done his research well, informing himself of a race similar to the Chiss. Perhaps that is what this Stoinian refered to, these "Cheunh". He studied whatever he could find on this faraway Star Kingdom's history, and thus he had gathered that these humans were simple, humble individuals with a martial reputation preceding them. Moreover, he had deduced that the Cheunh were, in fact, related to his own Chiss in some way.

"Legate Sinclair, it is an honour to meet you. My name is Mitth'raw'nuruodo. You may refer to me as Thrawn"

Unlike the others, Thrawn expected the firm handshake and reciprocated in kind.

"From what I am aware, yes, my species is the one you refer to. The Chiss, my race, are indeed the same beings as your Cheunh. I have no doubt that the truth shall reveal itself to us in due time"
