When his commander Thanas defected to the Alliance to Restore the Republic after the Battle on Bakura, Panib followed him and assisted in the in developing the Bakuran defense force.
Following the attempted Ssi-ruuvi invasion of Bakura in 28 ABY during the Yuuzhan Vong War, Panib took control of Bakura when Prime Minister Molierre Cundertol was abducted. Declaring martial law until Cundertol's return, Panib was forced to retain his emergency powers when it was revealed that Cundertol and Deputy Prime Minister Blaine Harris were working against efforts to join with the Keeramak. When the threat of Cundertol and Harris was quelled, Panib and Lwothin, leader of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, signed a treaty and entered into an alliance. Panib sent Bakuran ships to Lwhekk to help with the liberation of the P'w'eck.
