Legend

this Imperial Captain was known as a belligerent individual. A native of the colony world of Heffrin, he grew up in a mining town and learned to use his fists before using his mouth. He was conscripted into the Imperial Army after one too many brawls, and his military career was stalled by his frequent fighting. He eventually got posted to Bakura, where Petr Thanas spent three years teaching him about command and how to control his aggression. When Thanas surrendered his forces after the Battle of Bakura and agreed to join the fledgling New Republic, Panib left with him. Panib worked to help train the meager Bakuran military into a viable defense, and later earned the rank of General in the Bakuran Defense Fleet. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, when it seemed that Bakura was ready to form an alliance with the P'w'eck, Panib was forced to assume control of the planet when Prime Minister Cundertol was kidnapped. Panib placed Bakura under martial law until the situation could be resolved. When Cundertol returned to Bakura, Panib agreed to lift order declaring martial law and work with the leaders to ensure a safe consecration of Bakura by the Keeramak. Panib was unprepared for the treachery of both Cundertol and Deputy Prime Minister Blaine Harris, and found himself in a leadership position when both were killed or driven off in separate events. As his first act, Panib signed a peace treaty with Lwothin of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement. He agreed to send Bakuran ships to Lwhekk to help ensure that the native P'w'eck population was freed.
