The Z-96 was a class of starfighter. In 34 ABY, the pirate-turned-spy and scavenger Synara San was scavenging on the planet Castilon's ocean when she pulled up wreckage from a Z-95 Headhunter and presented it to Team Fireball, a group of mechanics based on the planet's supertanker fuel depot Colossus. The mechanic Neeku Vozo believed the wreckage may have originated from a Z-96, but fellow team member Kazuda Xiono recognized it as a Z-95 due to the ship bearing the markings of Reaper Squadron. Xiono then further stated that the Z-96 was never used in the Clone Wars, a galactic conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
The Z-96 was first mentioned in "Bibo," the twelfth episode of the first season of the animated television series Star Wars Resistance, which aired on January 13, 2019. Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition, a reference book released on October 4, 2019, erroneously states that the starfighter wreckage is from a Z-96.
