Kiro Chen

Kiro Chen was a Human male from the planet Alderaan. In 0 BBY, the Galactic Empire destroyed his homeworld with the first Death Star, making Chen and thousands of Alderaanians refugees to Delaya, Alderaan's sister planet. Chen became a leader of one of the many Alderaanian survivor groups and at some point formed an Alderaanian faction with his lover Halle Dray, and fellow refugee J'er Nahj. The faction was strongly opposed against the Organa Family, blaming them for entangling Alderaan into the war and causing its destruction.

With his work with the survivor groups, Chen eventually came into contact with General Carlist Rieekan of the Rebel Alliance. Acting as a representative, Chen hinted that his group was planning to join the Alliance and for weeks, was instrumental in helping Rieekan draft survivors for the Rebels, earning the General's confidence. In 0 ABY, Princess Leia Organa visited Delaya to lead a memorial for Alderaan's lost. However, her true mission was to assist in the enlistment of new Alliance members. Rieekan introduced Chen to Organa as her local contact before leaving Delaya for a separate mission. A day after attending the memorial, Chen arranged a meeting between the Princess and the survivor communities willing to join the Alliance.

The meeting turned out to be a ruse and Chen helped his faction in abducting Organa under the orders of Dray. They planned to turn her over to the Empire in exchange for a new planet for the refugees. During their meeting, the Imperials betrayed the faction leaders and killed them all, save for Chen, who was able to escape with Organa's help when she refused to reveal his location to the Imperials. After Organa was rescued by her Rebel companions, Chen met with her once again and she forgave his betrayal. Chen refused her offer to join the Alliance and decided to stay in Delaya and help lead the remaining survivors.
