A rebellious Kudon was a member of a band of freedom fighters who were active on the world of Kudo throughout the rule of the Galactic Empire. With the goal of aiding the Kudon rebels, the Alliance to Restore the Republic launched a mission to Kudo. Following the dispatch of an agent from the Imperial Security Bureau to look into the local resistance movement, the visiting Rebel Alliance members were successful in overcoming the agent, thus slowing down the Empire. Princess Leia Organa then spoke with the Kudon rebel, and, not knowing how long the delay would last, gave them and their people the option to evacuate with the Alliance's forces. The Kudon, however, refused, as they did not want to abandon their planet.
