Panib was first identified in "Rogues Gallery: Clearance for Immediate Launch" in Star Wars Insider 146. His helmet is visible in The Empire Strikes Back.
Rece's helmet prop was originally used by Garven Dreis in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and later by an unknown pilot in Return of the Jedi. The prop was seen again in the video game Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire, worn by Ina Rece.
