Kazuda Xiono

"Blend in, find out who's loyal to the good guys and who isn't."

- Poe Dameron, to Kazuda Xiono

Kazuda Xiono, nicknamed "Kaz," was a human male pilot of the New Republic. During the cold war, he was recruited by the Resistance to spy on the First Order. As a result, Commander Poe Dameron sent Xiono to the Colossus refueling station where he posed as a mechanic working in Jarek Yeager's repair shop. As an intelligence operative, Xiono's mission was to gauge the local population's sympathies and determine if their allegiance was with the Republic or the First Order.

Biography
"You can work on my team. But when it comes to your mission as a spy, I don't want anything to do with it."

- Jarek Yeager, to Kazuda Xiono

Kazuda Xiono, who went by the nickname "Kaz," lived in an era when the galaxy was governed by the New Republic, years after the Galactic Civil War. However, with the rise of the First Order, a tense political standoff ensued between the Republic and the Galactic Empire's successor. Concerned by the First Order's growing influence, the Resistance sought to protect the Republic by gathering information relating to the hermetic state. As a result, Xiono was approached by Commander Poe Dameron. Though a New Republic pilot at the time, the Resistance recruited Xiono as a spy for a classified assignment on the Colossus&mdash;an independent refueling station located on an ocean-covered planet.

Dameron, who served as Xiono's point of contact, instructed the young operative to gather as much information as he could on the station's views concerning the Republic and First Order, as well as to determine which side the population ultimately supported. Xiono's activities as a spy required him to maintain a low profile; therefore, he accepted a job in a local repair shop, owned by Jarek Yeager, where Xiono worked as a starship mechanic. Yeager knew that Xiono was a spy and although he wanted nothing to do with the conflict between the Resistance and First Order, he allowed Xiono to join his racing team, known as Team Fireball. In return, Xiono used his piloting skills to the team's benefit, earning extra credits through stunt flying and racing contests. During his time with the team, he flew the craft known as the Fireball.
