- Antilles and Darth Vader

A Human male, Antilles hailed from the influential and peaceful planet of Alderaan. He was schooled in diplomacy and became a capable starship pilot. Eventually, he came to work for the Royal Family of Alderaan, being entrusted to transport its members across the galaxy. As such, he served in the command staff of Senator Bail Organa, husband to Queen Breha of Alderaan. Toward the end of the Clone Wars, Antilles piloted the Alderaan Cruiser Sundered Heart for Senator Organa. He continued that role during the time Princess Leia succeeded her father as Senator of Alderaan. A loyal guard to the princess, the captain perished protecting her identity when Darth Vader boarded the Alderaan Cruiser Tantive IV and strangled him.
