Kiro Chen was a male Human hailing from the planet of Alderaan. The Galactic Empire infamously obliterated his home planet in 0 BBY utilizing the first Death Star. This event turned Chen, alongside countless other Alderaanians, into refugees seeking shelter on Delaya, Alderaan's sister world. He rose to prominence as a leader within one of the numerous Alderaanian refugee groups. Eventually, he established an Alderaanian faction alongside his romantic partner, Halle Dray, and another refugee, J'er Nahj. This faction held deep resentment towards the Organa Family, accusing them of dragging Alderaan into the Galactic Civil War, which ultimately led to its destruction.
Through his involvement with the survivor communities, Chen eventually made contact with General Carlist Rieekan of the Rebel Alliance. Acting as their spokesperson, Chen suggested his group's potential interest in joining the Alliance. For several weeks, he played a crucial role in assisting Rieekan with recruiting survivors for the Rebels, thereby gaining the General's trust. In 0 ABY, Princess Leia Organa journeyed to Delaya to preside over a memorial service honoring the fallen of Alderaan. However, her underlying objective was to facilitate the recruitment of new members for the Alliance. Rieekan introduced Chen to Organa as her local contact before departing Delaya on a separate assignment. The following day, after the memorial, Chen orchestrated a meeting between the Princess and the survivor communities who were inclined to join the Alliance.
The gathering proved to be a deception, and Chen aided his faction in kidnapping Organa under Dray's command. Their scheme involved handing her over to the Empire in return for a new planet to serve as a haven for the refugees. During their encounter, the Imperials double-crossed the faction leaders, executing all of them except for Chen. He managed to escape with Organa's assistance when she refused to disclose his whereabouts to the Imperials. After Organa was rescued by her Rebel comrades, Chen had another meeting with her, and she extended her forgiveness for his betrayal. Chen declined her invitation to join the Alliance, choosing to remain on Delaya and continue leading the remaining survivors.
Kiro Chen was a male Human born on the planet of Alderaan. The first Death Star of the Galactic Empire annihilated Alderaan in 0 BBY, which forced Chen, along with thousands of other Alderaanian refugees, to seek refuge on Alderaan's sister planet, Delaya. These refugees established communities in their new home, and Chen gained recognition as a leader among some of these groups. It was during this period that Chen, along with his lover Halle Dray, and another Alderanian refugee J'er Nahj, formed a faction. This faction felt animosity towards the Organas for what they believed was dragging Alderaan into the Galactic Civil War and causing its ultimate destruction.
Chen went undercover and approached General Carlist Rieekan as a representative of Alderaanian survivors who desired to join the Rebel Alliance. He devoted himself to recruitment for weeks, ultimately earning Rieekan's confidence. When Princess Leia Organa paid a visit to Delaya to assist the refugees, Rieekan introduced Chen to her as someone who had been a significant asset to the Rebellion.
Chen was crucial in the abduction of Organa prior to her meeting with other representatives of Alderaanian survivor groups who wanted to become members of the Rebel Alliance. Dray, a leader within the faction, contacted the Empire and planned to surrender Organa to them in exchange for a new planet where Alderaanians could settle. However, the Imperials went back on their word and seized Organa, killing her abductors. Chen was the only survivor because Organa refused to reveal his hiding place to her captors. Later, he informed Organa's companions, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Ferus Olin, that Delaya's Deputy Minister Var Lyonn was secretly working with the Imperials and knew where Organa had been taken. After her rescue, Organa forgave Chen and invited him to join the Rebel Alliance, an offer he turned down. He explained that with Dray and J'er Nahj recently deceased, the Alderaanian survivors on Delaya needed a leader to look up to, and he intended to take on that role.
