The Dameron family comprised human individuals who held significant positions within the armed forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the New Republic, and the Resistance.
Approximately in the year 4 BBY, Kes Dameron journeyed to Galator III prior to the marriage ceremony of a friend. They chose to pool their funds and visit the betting houses. Kes wagered one of his remaining credits on a race, selecting the racer Shara Bey because he was drawn to her name; subsequent to winning the bet, Kes approached Shara to express his gratitude and offer her a beverage.
Ultimately, their relationship blossomed into love, culminating in marriage, and in 2 ABY, they welcomed a son whom they christened Poe. Poe had infrequent interactions with his parents, as they began their service to the Alliance to Restore the Republic in the struggle against the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War.
