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. | Only slightly taller than average human height, of bipedal appearance, and of average physical strength, many of the Grendellai work as scavengers and pirates.

Starfleet sources do not know of a '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. | |||

====Homeworld==== | |||
The closest thing to a homeworld the Grendellai possess is a class N1 planet. This planet is still divided into nation and tribal regions, notable examples including the [[Domain of the Trisimene Pack]]. Grandellai military conquest and interstellar operations mimic those conducted on the surface of the Grendellai homeworld. | |||
