Legend

this Alliance starship Captain was in command of the transport Celestial when it was overtaken by its Imperial captives. Gryphon was supposed to rendezvous with the crew of the Long Shot, which was going to take control of the prisoners from that point onward. Once the prisoners were delivered to an Alliance penal colony, command of the Celestial was to be returned to Captain Gryphon. Rather than sacrifice her ship, Gryphon attempted to destroy the ship by sending into hyperspace with a damaged hyperdrive. The result was that the Celestial and her passengers were thrown into Otherspace. There, they were captured by Ber'asco and the Charon death cult. Gryphon bravely tried to resist the Charon, but she took several vicious claw wounds. The Charon poisons eventually killed her before help from the Alliance could arrive.
