The earliest inhabitants encountered in Ithassa were small caninoid creatures called the Grendellai (sing. Grendellus). Small, of bipedal appearance, and of no great 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. | The earliest inhabitants encountered in Ithassa were small caninoid creatures called the Grendellai (sing. Grendellus).
