A band of freedom fighters from Kudon were active on the planet Kudo throughout the Galactic Empire's reign. To coordinate their forces, the Kudon rebels used the songs of children, enabling the children to participate in the struggle that would shape their lives. The Alliance to Restore the Republic launched a mission during the Galactic Civil War to aid the Kudon freedom fighters with contacts and supplies. At the time of the mission, an Imperial Security Bureau agent noticed the local resistance, but the Rebel Alliance forces overcame the agent to buy time against the Empire. An representative of the freedom fighters declined Princess Leia Organa's offer of evacuation with the Alliance, as they did not want to abandon their world, but Organa pledged as much support as the Rebellion could give.
