Panno

Major Panno was a Dressellian scout and tactician in service to the Rebel Alliance. He had previously worked as a commando. When Panno joined the Alliance, he was followed by political activist Olander Brit, who became a major in the Alliance too.

In the Alliance, Panno worked with Crix Madine to detail the logistics of the General's strike operations.

In 4 ABY, both Panno and Brit were present in the briefing of rebel forces before the Battle of Endor.

Behind the scenes
Panno appears in the briefing scene of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983), as a background character played by an uncredited actor.

As one of the "prune face" aliens in Return of the Jedi, some fans assumed him to be one of the Bothans that were mentioned during the scene. The Expanded Universe later made the Bothans into an entirely separate species, with Galaxy Guide 12: Aliens — Enemies and Allies (1995) being the first source to identify the Dressellians by name. Panno was given individual name and a slight background (as a mention in another person's entry) in Decipher's Star Wars Customizable Card Game, expansion Death Star II Limited (2000).
