Paxxi Derida, known undercover as "Pilot", served as a Phindian aviator for both Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Having previously been a thief, he intentionally created a fuel malfunction to force a landing on Phindar. The purpose of this was to thwart the Syndicat, while also secretly enabling his sibling, Guerra Derida, to get on board and conceal themselves until they both arrived on the planet's surface. Working together with the Jedi, they successfully dismantled the Syndicat. The anti-register, a device innovated by Paxxi, was instrumental in this strategy.
Following the Syndicat's collapse, Paxxi and Guerra jointly commenced managing the governor's office.
