Chiss (race)



The Chiss (Asgardian : Hamo Xiiki'looii) are a tall, blue-skinned near-human civilization from the planet Csilla in the Unknown Regions, best known to most humans as the people to which Grand Admiral Thrawn belonged. Due to the remote position of their home territory in the Chiss Ascendancy they remained largely an enigma to the rest of the galaxy, and contact with outsiders was limited even in the days of the Galactic Alliance.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, their ascendancy was plunged into a civil war.

Though the Chiss joined the Coalition of the Red Star in response to the Awoken joining the Grand Alliance, another type of blue-skinned humanoids would become major members of the Global Liberation Union.

However, some Chiss factions that never wanted to support the Coalition of the Red Star would join either the Grand Alliance, the Global Liberation Union, or be neutral.
