A person, specifically a male human, functioned as a pilot within the First Order. He was assigned to the Thunderer, a Resurgent-class Star Destroyer. Following the Hosnian Cataclysm in 34 ABY, this pilot walked behind a new cadet, DT-533, through the Thunderer's barracks. During this time, he told a fellow pilot that the T-S Seven would be released in the next cycle. The other pilot then stated their preference for the VE series, thinking it possessed more power. This individual wore the standard black uniform that all First Order pilots wore.
This pilot's appearance occurred in "A Quick Salvage Run," which was the second episode of Star Wars Resistance's second season. The episode was broadcast on October 13, 2019. He was credited as "TIE Pilot #1" and the voice actor was Donald Faison. A trailer for "A Quick Salvage Run" that included the pilot was initially shared on the official Star Wars YouTube channel on October 9 earlier that week.
The dialogue between the two pilots regarding the T-S Sevens and VE series is similar to a conversation from the first Star Wars movie, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which came out in 1977. The original conversation involved two Imperial stormtroopers talking about the new VT-16, and it has been referenced in other Star Wars stories.
