- "And where would you target these new resources, Supervisor Grandi?"
"Uh, increased surveillance, sir."
"Looking for what?"
"Anti-Imperial activity as always." - ―Partagaz and Grandi
Supervisor Grandi attended a meeting led by Major Partagaz.
Grandi was a human female who served as a supervisor[1] and held the rank of lieutenant[2] in the Investigations branch[3] of the Galactic Empire's Imperial Security Bureau. She oversaw the Ryloth sector, and[1] in 5 BBY[4] attended a meeting in a bureau building on the planet Coruscant where she reported that the sector's detention estimates were expected to increase over the next quarter. When she stated that any further erosion in the local authority in the sector would require an increase in her blackline budget, Major Partagaz, who was leading the meeting, questioned where these new resources would be targeted.[1]
Chuckling, Grandi stated that they would be used for surveillance of anti-Imperial activity, but Partagaz was dissatisfied with her answer and claimed she was being purposefully vague. Grandi denied this, but he demanded that she provide specifics to him by the end of the day before moving on to the next item on the agenda. When Partagaz later questioned the entire room as to what the purpose of the Imperial Security Bureau was, Grandi did not answer.[1]
After the Imperial payroll for an entire sector was stolen from an Imperial installation on the planet Aldhani, Grandi was called back to the meeting room alongside the other supervisors and numerous other staff. Partagaz told those gathered to inform their staff and families that they would not be coming home and ordered that every Star Sector and Planetary Emergency Retaliation plan in the building to be ready for presentation by midnight.[5]

The pre-destruction era utilizes the "single row" format for live-action media including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor per
Pablo Hidalgo (@pabl0hidalgo) on Twitter (June 4, 2022): "@peacemakervitus There's basically two eras for Imperial badges - pre-Death Star destruction and post. So Andor and Kenobi follow the Rogue One 'single row' model." (backup link). Due to this, this individual's rank insignia plaque is consistent with its respective rank insignia and branch in the live-action production chart here, and as such must be that military rank and in that branch.
