Grek (commodore)

Grek was a human who served as a commander and later commodore in the navy of the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire. Following the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY, the Rebellion's fleet was divided in order to scatter their forces, and Grek was one of several commanding officers assigned to the Fourth Division. Their cell came under attack when Imperial commander Ellian Zahra broke the codes that the rebel cells were using to contact each other, but escaped thanks to the help of the rebels aboard the freighter Millennium Falcon.

As the Alliance Fleet was unable to regroup in the way they had intended, Commander Grek and Princess Leia Organa developed a new plan to find and reassemble the other cells. The plan involved the Fourth Division responding to the transmission of the Seventh Division, drawing some of Zahra's forces away. The forces of the Fourth Division subsequently traveled to the Seventh Divison's location, attacking the Imperial fleet.
