The species made their debut in the second episode of the 2024 television series, Star Wars: The Acolyte, directed by Leslye Headland.[1] According to David W. Collins, this species' design was made in reference to the Bando Gora captain from the 2002 video game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter,[4][5] a connection that was later made canon via the Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide[2] which released in select countries on June 5, 2025.[6]
