Reading Heir to the Empire

[Bavarian itP]

I have very little doubt that Covell had standing orders to kill C'Boath once he reached the base.

Since C'Baoth is a mind reader, that would have been thoroughly stupid. Bring him and Covell into the bubble, than give Covell the order to kill him. It's easy. But I doubt Thrawn already made that decision. As I mentioned, he is hesistant about flat-out murder.

I pretty much agree with everything also you said though.
