Grendyl was a Human woman (female) who served in the Galactic Alliance Navy. She was assigned to the Admiral Ackbar. As a member of the Ackbar's starfighter complement, she was there when the Colony ambushed the vessel during the Qoribu Crisis. In an act of self-sacrifice, she intercepted a full blast of Force lightning directed at Admiral Nek Bwua'tu from the Dark Jedi Alema Rar, saving the Admiral's life.
