Corla Metonae/Legends

Corla Metonae was a Human female from Alderaan and an influential member of the planet's House of Antilles.

Biography
Metonae was assigned to Tantive IV under her uncle, Captain Raymus Antilles, as the ship's bosun and Chief Petty Officer. Her duties involved being responsible for the ship's crew and the onboard craft, which included the ship's escape pods.

Sometime after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Metonae was supervising test launches of the ship's escape pods in the Karthakk system when Tantive IV came under attack by pirates. The ship was forced to retreat following the incident, leaving the deployed pods abandoned.

Shortly thereafter, it was discovered that two of the ship's droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, were aboard one of the pods. Their loss was blamed fully on Corla, and she was reassigned. Her reassignment was not meant to be a punishment, however, as her skills were needed to oversee the project that would see the launch of Another Chance, containing all of Alderaan's weaponry. Despite attempts by Imperial forces to hijack the weapons, the ship and its escorts were launched without incident, thanks to Corla's deployment of decoy craft mimicking the transponder of Another Chance and it's escorts, luring the Imperials away from their true objective.

Her efforts in this endeavor led to her reassignment onboard Tantive IV as Master Chief Petty Officer, where she supervised the expansive refit of the ship involving the installation of a Vanguard c20 retrofit suite. She continued to serve the Organa family faithfully, and was onboard the ship when it was captured, and later destroyed, by Darth Vader during the Battle Over Tatooine.

Behind the scenes
Corla Metonae's backstory was developed by Billy Buehler (AKA The2ndQuest) for Star Wars Hyperspace's What's The Story? feature.

Part of her bio actually attempts to explain the discrepancy regarding the two droids' puzzling separation during the interval of the two trilogies and make it consistent with the Star Wars: Droids TV series.
