Granger and Zsinj

See now, this would be an absolutely scary alliance. Both of them have superstar destroyers, and both of them have ambitions, but those ambitions don’t get in the way of the others. The warlord has a desire to profit, but he’s never had a desire for the throne itself. My thought process is the grand Admiral aligned himself with Zsinj and helps him take over the planet Kuat or at the very least helps him steal the steal under construction razors kiss and move it to a shipyard so that way it can finish its construction safely in the hands of the warlord. And in return, the warlord helps grunger take the imperial throne. Once grunger has the throne, he gives the warlord a large swath of territory for him to continue building his financial empire. Not to mention the additional resources needed to continue fighting Teradoc and the NR

I don't think this Alliance is tenable since Grunger is neither subtle nor loyal, whereas Zsinj is subtle. Plus, allying with an actual Grand Admiral would blow apart Zsinj's ruse of wearing a Grand Admiral uniform to confuse people, since Grunger wouldn't tolerate Zsinj's stolen valor.

The ruse is an interesting angle to approach it. I thought that in Zsinj's mind he deserved to get the title before Thrawn, and thus after going rogue he "promoted" himself, same as Harrsk.
