"As usual, you always need help. My help."

- Hamato Xiono, to Kazuda Xiono

Senator Hamato Xiono was a politician who served in the Galactic Senate of the New Republic years after the conclusion of the Galactic Civil War. He was also the father of Kazuda Xiono, whose service to the Republic Hamato facilitated by supporting his son's enrollment in a New Republic military academy. He then ensured that Kazuda's training was put to use by helping him join the New Republic Defense Fleet, allowing Kazuda to pursue his aspirations of becoming a highly skilled pilot.

In 34 ABY, Kazuda contacted Senator Xiono shortly after his rendezvous with the Resistance during the waning months of the cold war. Believing the First Order, a successor state to the Galactic Empire, threatened the Republic's place in the galaxy, Kazuda decided to join the Resistance but also felt compelled to inform Hamato about his decision. However, Kazuda ultimately changed his mind, deciding to keep his new connection a secret from his father, who regarded General Leia Organa as a leader of extremists.
