Grindol Maal, formerly a pirate, held sympathies for the Rebel cause.
Maal shared a close friendship with Revwien Wuwuhuul. As a duo, they offered their services to assist the Rebellion in a mission targeting the planet of Goratak III. The Rebel objective was to secure an I2-CG droid that had met its end on the planetary surface. This particular droid possessed extremely confidential data regarding a Rebel starfighter production facility located on Tar Morden.
Maal's team included the Red Smoke, Safari One, and Buzz Boys squads. This combined force of 30 soldiers engaged in combat against 15 Imperial soldiers, along with a contingent of bounty hunters commanded by Feskitt Bobb. The confrontation unfolded within a crystal forest; the result of the battle remains unconfirmed.
Maal consistently displayed enthusiasm for engaging the Empire in combat, frequently wielding a blaster rifle in conjunction with a vibrocutlass.
