The real purpose of the attack on Coruscant was to tie up NR ships & resources, a.k.a bottling them up.Ace Pace wrote:Yes, he struck at planets, but he was dependent on everyone fearing him, because notice he never really took over any planets, only took their surrenders.
Courscant was really counted? He came in and dropped astroids, ruining some ships in the process.

But they were, if Thrawn provided such a threat that the Republic used the majority of their fleet and best pilots to defeat him at Bilbringi, then I think that indicates the 200 dreadnaughts tipped the balance of power considerably. After all, before this, the Empire and Republic were supposedly equal in military strength.

Notice that Thrawn was still advancing before taking the Katana fleet, he just speeded up, which is also inpart thanks to his supply of superior clones, not just because of the Dreadnaughts.

It only mentions a handful of ships, their lack of mention doesn't mean they are not there. It didn't give an Order of Battle.Notice that in Bilbringi no dreadnaughts are mentioned, its the last addition that unbalences.
He captured a few virtually undefended planets with a brilliant trick. His trick was quickly discovered and no more planets were said to be captured by him until the capture of the Dark Force. His clones allowed him to crew the dreadnaughts.Notice that Thrawn was still advancing before taking the Katana fleet, he just speeded up, which is also inpart thanks to his supply of superior clones, not just because of the Dreadnaughts.
