The commander first appeared in the story "The Duty," which was featured in Star Wars Tales 12 and written by Christian Read. The story was later compiled into a trade paperback version, Star Wars Tales Volume 3. Plausible stories in Star Wars Tales 1–20 were initially viewed as S-canon until referenced in a non-Tales source, at which point the subject matter was elevated to C-canon status. The commander was later mentioned in Gira's entry in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, treating the commander as a unique character and raising his existence in The Duty to C-canon.
