During the Galactic Civil War, the Alliance to Restore the Republic embarked on a mission headed to the planet Kudo. The intention of these rebels was to find the Kudon freedom fighters located there, who were actively fighting against the Galactic Empire; the rebels wanted to support them using the Rebellion's network and available supplies. While the rebels were based on Kudo, the Empire dispatched an agent from the Imperial Security Bureau to carry out an investigation on Kudo. The rebels were successful in subduing the agent before they were able to find the freedom fighters; Alliance forces then engaged with the freedom fighters to offer assistance. Princess Leia Organa proposed aiding the evacuation of the freedom fighters alongside the Rebellion's personnel, an offer that was turned down by the Kudon, who expressed their desire to keep fighting for their home world.
