Corla Metonae was the Chief Petty Officer on the CR90 corvette Tantive IV. In service to the royal house of her homeworld of Alderaan, Metonae, a member of the House of Antilles, served aboard the Tantive IV under her uncle, Captain Raymus Antilles, during the early years of the Galactic Empire. In her original role as bosun and petty officer, she was placed in charge of the corvette's escape pods.

During a routine test of the pods, the Tantive IV came under attack from pirates from the Karthakk system. As a result, the ship was forced to flee and abandon its launched pods, one of which contained the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. Following the incident, Metonae was reassigned to Project: Another Chance, which concerned Alderaan's disarmament following the Clone Wars. Despite interference from the Empire, the project was a success, and Metonae was reassigned back to the Tantive IV. She perished in 0 BBY when the craft was boarded and destroyed by the forces of Lord Darth Vader.
