Bail Antilles was the Senator of Alderaan Sector prior to and during the events of the Invasion of Naboo. He was also a Prince on his homeworld.

He was also also the father of Captain Raymus Antilles.

Biography


He served on the Internal Activities Committee (which he chaired for the last few years of his tenure) of the Galactic Senate. He also chaired the Core faction of senators, and had two aides, during the last days of his service: Liana Merian and Agrippa Aldrete, both indigeous from Alderaan. Antilles, in his role as Internal Activities chairman, informed Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum of charges of corruption filed against him after the Eriadu Trade Summit, and represented the prosecution in the subsequent Supreme Court inquiry.

After Valorum was removed from office via a vote of no confidence, Antilles, was nominated to succeed Valorum in the following election. He lost the election, and resigned from the Senate shortly afterwards.

He accompanied his successor, Bail Organa, to the retirement ceremony of Horox Ryyder.
