'''Spensa's great-grandmother''' is an engineer on the ''[[Defiant (starship)|Defiant]]'' and the fleet's [[cytonics|cytonic hyperdrive]]. She is married to [[Spensa's great-grandfather]] and is the mother of [[Becca Nightshade]].{{book ref|sky1|45}}
 
Due to her cytonic abilities, as well as by virtue of being part of the engineers of the ''Defiant'', Spensa's great-mother is resented and feared by the other occupants of the fleet. Gran-Gran implies her mother was the only cytonic aboard the ''Defiant'', and the only one able to jump the fleet using faster than light travel.{{book ref|sky1|45}}
