Gron Marrab
this Mon Calamari was a Senator to the New Republic during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. When Coruscant fell to the alien invaders, and the remaining Senators retreated to Calamari, Senator Marrab was appointed to the task force which was assigned to restore communications to those sections of the galaxy which had been isolated during the war. He reluctantly accepted the help of Leia Organa Solo and her husband, Han Solo, although he was forced to admit that their mission proved successful. It was after the Battle of Esfandia, which helped secure the Galactic Alliance's primary communications link to the Unknown Regions, that Marrab was forced to admit the helpfulness of the Ryn in identifying the reasons and parties behind much of the communications blackout.
