Hamato Xiono

Hamato Xiono was a human male politician from the planet Hosnian Prime. During the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, he had not served on either side; however, he eventually served as a senator in the New Republic Senate by 9 ABY. During this time, his ideals for the direction the burgeoning Republic should take directly clashed with warnings from General Hera Syndulla of the Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn's return. Despite the denial of support for Syndulla from Xiono and accompanying senators, Syndulla carried out a mission to undermine Thrawn out of her own volition. Her actions drew ire from Xiono and the Senate Oversight Committee, culminating in a failed attempt to court-martial her for disobeying direct orders.

Around 14 ABY, Xiono later became the father of Kazuda Xiono, alongside Kazuda's mother. During the latter years of the New Republic Era, Senator Xiono facilitated his son's entry into a New Republic Defense Force academy, which, in turn, led to Kazuda's service in the New Republic Defense Fleet's Starfighter Corps until he eventually joined the Resistance. When the First Order destroyed Hosnian Prime in 34 ABY, Hamato, Kazuda's mother, and the rest of their family survived, as they had been off-planet during the cataclysm. Following the loss of the New Republic Senate, Senator Xiono contacted his son, warning him of the danger his activity as a Resistance spy had placed his family in.
