An exception to this rule is Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn", a Chiss officer. His species is characterized as having blue skin and red eyes. Male Chiss are more likely to be force-sensitive, though very few Chiss are born with these abilities, and those that are generally lose their connection to the force as they enter adolescence.
