I'll let Heat decide that. I wanted an Imperial character, but aside from Chiss the Empire does not like alien races, being very Nazi-esque. And I didn't want another human, but if that's the case then I can onviously make a simple race change. If not I'll just take myself elsewhere.

The Empire didn't like the Chiss.

Palpatine found Thrawn useful, that's about as far as the relationship went. There's also an element of Thrawn chose to leave and make his mark, very few Chiss had his kind of pull to be able to do that and return home.
