Mardral was a female Benzite pilot who flew shuttlecraft for the Palais de la Concorde in the 2380s. In 2381, she flew Professor Sonek Pran from Mars to the Palais for a meeting with Esperanza Piñiero. Mardral wore a pledge stone, indicating that she had approached to join a relationship, though she hesitated in accepting. Pran advised her to give an answer, reminding her it was not a lifelong commitment. (ST novel: A Singular Destiny)
