In the year 5 ABY, a New Republic pilot, identified as male, journeyed to Takodana to Maz Kanata's castle located on that planet. He was accompanied by a female, and their intent was leisure. However, this pilot found himself under attack from Romwell Krass Junior, a former agent of the Imperial Security Bureau. Krass sought retribution for the death of his family, which he attributed to a New Republic attack on the Hyborean Moon. Emmie, a droid, intervened to halt the altercation, escorting both individuals to Maz's dungeons. Confined within their respective cages, the two persisted in exchanging insults until Maz herself stepped in. She advised Romwell to reconcile with the events of his history. The pilot then offered an apology, and Maz permitted his departure from the castle, but only after Romwell had first been allowed to leave.
The reference book Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, published in 2019, erroneously identifies the pilot as a Resistance pilot.
