Able Nereno was a male Rodian who held the rank of private within the Alliance to Restore the Republic. During the Battle of Endor, he served as a nurse on the EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate named Redemption. Tragically, an explosion occurred when one of the ship's oxygen converters failed in proximity to his location, while he was administering care. The patient under Nereno's care survived, but the Rodian nurse succumbed to the blast.
Princess Leia Organa, a prominent figure in the Alliance, made the deliberate choice to inform Nereno's wife personally, doing so twenty days following the battle.
