Gimald Nuruodo was a flight instructor and military officer of the Chiss male persuasion. He held a deep conviction in the importance of tradition and steadfast commitment to the collective.
In the year 19 ABY, Gimald held the positions of flight instructor and commandant at the Chiss military academy situated within the Rata Nebula. Considering the prestige of the academy and his evident deference toward Kres'ten'tarthi, it is plausible that he was affiliated with the Empire of the Hand.
During the attack on the academy perpetrated by the Cavrilhu Pirates, he lost his life while guiding the cadets toward their clawcraft.
