Iella Wessiri Antilles

Iella Wessiri Antilles was a Corellian woman, CorSec agent and Rebel spy during the early years of the Rebellion. She served as a New Republic Intellegence agent and later married Wedge Antilles.

Biography
Wessiri partnered for some time with Corran Horn, acting as a mentor to the headstrong young officer, and also worked with veteran investigator Gil Bastra. Wessiri and Horn foiled several kidnapping attempts, including ones made on Siolle Tinta and Wynssa Starflare (although it wasn't until years later that they learned Starflare's true identity). After a harrowing raid on a glitterstim den, she and Corran had nearly slept together; however, Kirtan Loor took them in for debriefing, and when they saw each other again, the moment had passed.

Following the Galactic Empire's increasingly strict oversight of CorSec operations, Wessiri joined the Rebellion as an intelligence operative, sometimes performing deep undercover work for months at a time. In 7 ABY, she assisted Rogue Squadron in its undercover mission to retake Imperial-occupied Coruscant from Ysanne Isard's regime.

Wessiri was married to fellow Corellian Diric Wessiri, though the two were not often together due to work. Diric was in fact a sleeper agent brainwashed by Isard during his confinement on the hidden Imperial prison facility Lusankya. While Iella was escorting former Imperial Intelligence officer Kirtan Loor into Republic custody, the two were attacked by an Imperial assassin, who killed Loor before Iella shot him. Tragically, she realized it was actually Diric, who thanked her with his dying breath for releasing him from Isard's control. Two years later, she was able to extract justice by fatally shooting Isard during the Rogue's struggle with Imperial admiral/warlord Delak Krennel.



During the Rogues' mission to Coruscant, Wessiri and Wedge Antilles developed a deep mutual attraction. Though she admitted her love for Diric was not passionate, her sense of loyalty prevented her from pursuing a relationship with the Alliance hero. Later, during the Zsinj campaign after Diric's death, the two began dating when duty assignments converged on Coruscant. Their relationship stalled out due to conflicting careers, only to reignite during a mission to bring the Outer Rim planet Adumar into the New Republic. Wedge proposed, and by the time of Luke Skywalker's marriage to Mara Jade, it was revealed the two had been married for some time and had two daughters, Syal and Myri. Her career with NRI following the Adumar operation is so far undocumented. She retired after the Galactic Civil War, but, along with Wedge, came out of retirement during the Yuuzhan Vong War. She and Wedge both retired after the Liberation of Coruscant.

In 40 ABY, Iella, Wedge, and their youngest daughter, Myri, were living on Coronet, Corellia.
