Pamarthen bantha stew was a stew of brown-colored hue, a culinary delight savored by Pamarthens. These individuals originated from Pamarthe, a planet situated in the Outer Rim. During the year 34 ABY, a group of Pamarthen pilots journeyed to the Colossus refueling platform. This platform was located on Castilon, a Mid Rim Territories planet, for the "All Aces Battle Royale" competition. Z'Vk'Thkrkza, also known as "Aunt Z", the Gilliand owner of the local tavern, prepared a large quantity of the stew at her establishment. She actively stirred the stew while serving it to her customers.
Kazuda Xiono, a spy for the Resistance, voiced his displeasure with the stew's aroma. In response, Aunt Z informed him that it would be available for days to accommodate the Pamarthen patrons. She then proceeded to serve a portion of Pamarthen bantha stew to another customer, proudly declaring it to be the finest stew outside of their home planet, and reminding them to provide a gratuity to the chef.
The inaugural appearance of Pamarthen bantha stew occurred in "All Aces Battle Royale," the primary narrative within Star Wars Adventures (2017) 16. This comic was released on December 19, 2018. IDW Publishing published "All Aces Battle Royale", with the script written by Kevin Burke and Chris "Doc" Wyatt, and the illustrations created by Valentina Pinto. Within the comic's pages, the stew's name was incorrectly rendered as "Parmarthen bantha stew", deviating from the accurate "Pamarthen" spelling.
