I feel like there a few Wars to Trek parallel races/factions: Chiss - Part Romulans, part Andorians Mandalorians & Wookiees - Klingons Hutts - Orion Syndicate Weequay & Trandoshans - Nausicaans Republic - Federation The Empire - The Dominion Toydarians - Ferengi Tell me if you can think of any others :-)
Should have mentionned that they train their force sensitives with a nack for precognition (weirdly enough most were females) as navigators for their ships/fleet. Pretty cool vid! :)
Love the here be dragons quote. That was the title of a video and my first introduction to world of scientific skepticism, reason, and logic. My life has literally never been the same. That is a huge reason I love space shows and movies now. And of course my love of those things brought me here. Looks like this dragon has come full circle like the ouroboros of jorgmungandr.
They fought a war with the Vagaari in Legends, and briefly with the Yuuzhan Vong. We'll be learning more about them in the upcoming book Thrawn: Treason.
should have mentioned that their tactical doctrine is to ALWAYS let the enemy attack first- Thrawn was exiled for suggested a pre-emptive strike on one of their enemies.
Very nice! You could’ve said more about their Force users though. The most recent canonic book reveals that a number of their children are Force-sensitive. They use them as hyperspace navigators in the treacherous Unknown Regions. But since they lack knowledge of the Force, they haven’t been able to figure out how to keep those powers from fading at puberty. Force-sensitive kids tend to get abandoned by the government after they lose their powers. There’s some implication in the book that Thrawn himself may have been Force-sensitive as a child but lost that ability and was cast aside (update: it was actually his sister, who was taken from their family). Or maybe he simply knows someone like that. Either way, he was clearly pissed at this practice. In the Legends books, they had no Force-sensitives period, since Thrawn was confused by the very notion of a Jedi capable of doing things that seem to defy physics. They also had no droids implying cybernetics was never developed for various reasons. They also never heard of the Republic, whereas in the new canon they know of it and even fought on the side of the Sith Empire a few millennia ago
I know your post is a few years old and you probably forgot about it. I think in the new books it is hinted that Thrawn had a sister who was taken away to be a skywalker and not that he himself had been force sensitive. This is used to explain why he care so much about the skywalkers.

Glad that you still measure time by the battle of yavin
The Old Republic was aware of the Chiss in the distant past. Likely due to the Chiss persistence to protect their space, they have allow the Republic to forget their existence for centuries. Likely one of the reasons why the Old Republic has lost contact with the Chiss was a result of one of the major wars throughout the history of the Old Republic. The Chiss may have found the presence of some hyperspace routes from the known Galaxy into the Unknown Regions.
I'd love to see a crossover where Chiss and Vulcans confront. Two rational species one developped in the cold, the other born in the heat, both slightly above average in terms of physical strength and brainpower. Mix the two species and you get the Abh, a created species to be inherantly adapted to space travel in a Japanese novel series. (Crest of Stars followed by Banner of stars) That species, created and enslaved by humans eventually rebelled and conquered the galaxy.
I don't know why but I feel like a clash between the Vulcans and the Chiss when actually become an intellectual Cold War spreading across decades if not longer ending in the destruction of the Vulcans.
I feel like the stalwart style of clam could be some sort of genetic adaptation that allows them to regulate their body temperatures be expending less engery
Excellent work, but due to the more recent canon Thrawn Ascendancy books, some information is missing or slightly incorrect. For example, the third name is an occupational name and not a family name and only high ranking military drop their family name, Since Thrawn is the Chiss we know the best, it is easy to think that he is typical of his species, however the books show that among the Chiss he is considered remarkable or above average whereas to us he is Sherlock Holmes level super-genius. In terms of reasoning skills, the average Chiss would be comparable to a gifted person in our society and someone like Thrawn would be genius level. It is high praise indeed that Admiral Ar'alani considers Eli Vanto's job performance to be acceptable.
Is there an expert that might be able to help me? I can remember playing a sw rpg like 25 years back. Playing a stout, reptilian race that was pitch black as its skin would only reflect ultraviolet light. Was that an official species and what was their name? Or am I just imagening things?
Second time of asking please do a cultural index on the two 2⃣ Star Trek races that you haven't done yet the Q and the Betazoids ❓ And maybe you should also do a cultural index on one 1⃣ Star Wars race you haven't done yet the Night Brothers and Sisters of Dathomir
10:24 how could a cold climate possibly corrupt data stored on systems in a properly protected data center? Even if it could surely an interstellar species would have off-world backups? Naturally paper is far safer! 🤣🤣🤣
Not sure I’m a huge fan of the new Chiss design. I like the darker skin and uniformly glowing eyes. The forehead bumps are also kind of... eh. Just personal preference “not what I imagined reading the books” blah blah blah.
That Chiss chick that was featured so frequently in this clip -- who is she and why does she look so bloody attractive? And don't say it's her blue skin! Unless it is...
Why does it say you ‘bought’ the unlock for Chiss, but you’re showing the Imperial Agent story. Which allows you to be Chiss from the start. Just like Bounty Hunter. :/
Dat Honesty Doe honestly, if he’s on a f2p account and is making TH-cam content where he is taking the videos right out of the game for his for-profit channel, then that’s both shitty and unexpected. If you’re going to make TH-cam content like this and make money off of it, you should at least sub to the game while you’re making and producing the content. I shouldn’t even have to explain why.

Inside the Insidious Institute.
The Shadow Dwelling Reman
I’m fine with either one!
Certifiably Ingame Reman please
@@CertifiablyIngame we at The Institute only wish to bring peace, stability and knowledge back to the Commonwealth.
I was happy to see the Chiss (and, more importantly, Thrawn) become canon again with the Rebels animated series.
I feel like there a few Wars to Trek parallel races/factions:
Chiss - Part Romulans, part Andorians
Mandalorians & Wookiees - Klingons
Hutts - Orion Syndicate
Weequay & Trandoshans - Nausicaans
Republic - Federation
The Empire - The Dominion
Toydarians - Ferengi
Tell me if you can think of any others :-)
think hutts would fit more with the ferengi then the toydarians given their government is based entirely on commerce.
@@1heKing the thing is the hutts are more criminal than they are government
@@heliveruscalion9124 they're a bit of both sort of like the Kingdom of Two Sicilies which is where the Sicilian Mafia originate.
Yuuzang Vong = Bio Borg
Your cultural indexes are fascinating.
AGREED!!!
Should have mentionned that they train their force sensitives with a nack for precognition (weirdly enough most were females) as navigators for their ships/fleet.
Pretty cool vid! :)
The pure dispassionate pragmatism of the Chiss would make for a very effective (if somewhat grey) Jedi.
@wowalinbie Severance Tann/Vandalor would disagree with you

Vulcans = Space Thalmor
Chiss = Space Dunmer
More like Space Dwemer
They fought a war with the Vagaari in Legends, and briefly with the Yuuzhan Vong.
We'll be learning more about them in the upcoming book Thrawn: Treason.
There is an element in the rocks that mixed into the water and over the generations turned the skin colour from a flesh tone to blue.
Sounds like silver. It can permanently change human skin to blue to purple
The regal and ominous orchestral music every time Thrawn was referenced was a nice touch
You didn't mention the Skywalkers, the Chiss Force-sensitive navigators.
That’s canon, he’s mainly focusing on legends lore
Does that mean that somewhere in Luke's ancestry there was a Chiss, and that's the reason why he's got that surname?
I have an idea for a future cultural index, the tholian assembly from star trek, they have some interesting history bot alpha and beta cannon
should have mentioned that their tactical doctrine is to ALWAYS let the enemy attack first- Thrawn was exiled for suggested a pre-emptive strike on one of their enemies.
One of my most favourite races of Star Wars.

A fine description of the Chiss
Straight away, considered as a mythical civilization by the peoples of the deep core.

Been waiting for this for a while. It was always such a fantastic species.
I didn't even know you covered Star Wars. I thought it was just Star Trek. Interesting.

This has to be one the coolest races in all of star wars.
"Here be Dragons"
Duinuogwuin: Well, you're not wrong..
Could you possibly do a cultural index on the red lantern corps.
Lol so this is pretty much the Star Wars version of Star Trek’s Andorians mixed in with the great Klingon houses.
I feel like the stalwart style of clam could be some sort of genetic adaptation that allows them to regulate their body temperatures be expending less engery
"Essentially, here be dragons." Hahaha. XD Nice, Rick.
Remans :)
Do the Rodians or the Hutts for the next Star Wars species video.
That piano song is real cool!
Right off the bat, are you talking about Chiss club?
My kind of people.
The Chiss inspiration for the 'Dunmer' from Elder scrolls?
i haver learnt so much about thrawn Dam sir you sir study Art
An adequate display

Third Attempt! The Kilrathi of Wing Commander for a Cultural Index.
I love this video.
The institute might be interesting to see.
My fave from the SW.
would a chiss force group lean more towards jedi, sith or grey jedi?
Is there an expert that might be able to help me?
I can remember playing a sw rpg like 25 years back. Playing a stout, reptilian race that was pitch black as its skin would only reflect ultraviolet light.
Was that an official species and what was their name?
Or am I just imagening things?
Very similar eye color to the Salamanders Legion from Warhammer 40k.
Remans
What was the music in the background of this video?
The Chiss sound very similar to Star Trek's Orions. In my headcanon, they're cousins....at least distantly.
I do wonder what is their Comfortable Temperature range is, For Humans its about 70-85 Degrees Farinhight. Am guessing for them 50 - 65 range?
You should do one on the drow from forgotten realms please
So the Known Worlds are the unknown regions to the Chiss and vice-versa
Wonderful video as most of your videos are but I have to echo the disappointment in the lack of the skywalkers
Cool!
Remans!
Chiss are similar to Helghast. Both are offshoot from and more superior than humanity.
Wow! Never was this early before!

Chiss love to rely on natural assets as back ups. They even use their own eyes as back up to tactical sensors in case of technical failures.
Remans.
do both indexes
Not sure I’m a huge fan of the new Chiss design. I like the darker skin and uniformly glowing eyes. The forehead bumps are also kind of... eh. Just personal preference “not what I imagined reading the books” blah blah blah.
So there are no civilians in Chiss space?
There probably are, it's just they're so defensive that no-one has ever got past their military to find them.
Certifiably Ingame seems impossible
The Empire, but better.
What game is it that is being played?
Star Wars the Old Republic a free(ish) MMORPG. Had to pay to unlock the Chiss race though,
Could you please do the gems from Steven universe?
The Institute!!
so like Vulcans then
That Chiss chick that was featured so frequently in this clip -- who is she and why does she look so bloody attractive? And don't say it's her blue skin! Unless it is...
please do many more star wars videos.
"Star Wars" if you will...........I'll see myself out. LOL!
So, the chiss are basically andorians without antennas?
You should only be referring to legends.
remen

Thrawn is daddy UwU
Please do Cultural Index Combine from Half life 2literally please bloody do it!
People need to get over Thrawn already. If he were so F***ing inportant, they'd put him in an actual movie.
Hush
Remans!
