One of the greatest treasures of The Unknown Regions is the great library on Csilla, which dates back to the founding of Chiss civilization. They prefer to act only when all issues have been studied from every angle and all data has been analyzed. Although Thrawn possesses exceptional genius even by the standards of his Species, his rational approach is shared by the ruling families that form the operating structure of The Chiss Ascendancy.Ĭhiss are almost impossible to enrage. The most famous Chiss, Grand Admiral Thrawn, is legendary for his ability to outthink his opponents by studying the smallest details. They do not let the hot emotions of others interfere with their methodical unraveling of logic tangles. Not given to passion, the Chiss view problems as curiosities to be solved through rigorous application of brainpower. Many say the Chiss are as cold as the ice plains they call home. Life under such conditions gave the Chiss a self-reliant streak that is at the root of their notoriously aloof personalities. Their unique skin tone is believed to have resulted from glacial minerals, and their distinctive eyes might have been an adaptation to the low-light conditions of their subterranean warrens. The Chiss held on by going underground, a move that further accelerated their divergence from baseline stock. Always uncomfortably frigid, Csilla became near-inhospitable when an ice age blanketed its surface with glaciers circa 5,000 BBY. More than 27,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, one hypothesized lost colony settled on Csilla in The Unknown Regions. Many Species in the galaxy independently evolved into convergent humanoid forms, but genetic analysis indicates that the Chiss are an offshoot of humanity dating back to sleeper ship colonization attempts.
One of the most striking of all Near-Human Species, the Chiss are instantly identifiable due to their jet-black hair, ice-blue skin, and eyes that glow with a penetrating red phosphorescence. Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Unknown Regions
