Only slightly taller than average human height, of bipedal appearance, and of average physical strength, many of the Grendellai work as scavengers and pirates. They have been known to capture and cannibalize old hulls and to capture ships' crews for disposal as slave labor. These cannibalized hulls have become known within the fleet as "Frankenstein" ships. The Grendellai are numerous throughout the sector. | |||
There is no known 'homeworld' for the Grendellai, nor an organized government. Many Grendellai exist in anarchy or in small autonomous groups operating ships. Officially, these are considered traders. In practice they operate either so close to the law as to make no difference, or as pirates and slavers. They operate a pack heirarchy, with the captain as the alpha male. | There is no known 'homeworld' for the Grendellai, nor an organized government.
