Antes Belladar

Antes Belladar was the Human male Governor of the agricultural planet Reytha during the reign of the Galactic Empire. In 0 ABY during the Galactic Civil War, a conflict between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Reytha was taken over by the Alliance and Governor Belladar was unable to do anything to prevent them. Eventually, he received assistance from Darth Vader, the second-in-command of the Empire, who was able to eliminate the Rebels from several of Reytha's major cities. Belladar then received a report that the Rebels had built multiple bases in the Montrosa Islands, a series of connected islands on the planet, and informed Vader. Upon his arrival in the islands, Vader questioned Belladar on why the Rebels had been able to infiltrate the planet. When Belladar was not sure what Vader was meaning, the Sith Lord used the Force to strangle Belladar to death, and then eliminated the remaining Rebels from the planet.

Biography
Antes Belladar was a Human male who rose to the position of Governor on the agricultural planet Reytha several years before the Galactic Civil War, a major conflict between the Galactic Empire, which Belladar served under, and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. During the war in 0 ABY, Reytha was overtaken by the Alliance, and Belladar was unable to prevent them from doing so. The Governor was forced to request help from Darth Vader, the second-in-command of the Empire, who had already discovered the Rebel's plan to take Reytha when he had chased them off their base on the moon Yavin 4, and had left for Reytha, knowing that the loss of its food supplies could damage the Empire.

Upon the Vader's arrival, Belladar thanked Vader for responding so quickly to his call, and then reported that the Alliance was still preparing to attack the planet. However a probe droid scan showed that the Rebels had already taken over Reytha. Vader planned to take the capital city, Reytha Minor, but instead had retook the smaller cities of Teks and Breeda for the Empire, and after doing that, Beladar expressed his surprise that he was able to do so. After gaining enough soldiers, the Empire launched its assault on Reytha Minor and destroyed the Rebel's command center. Belladar then received a report from a Reythan soldier that the Alliance had set up multiple bases in the Montrosa Islands, a series of islands located on the planet. Belladar relayed this to Vader, who then departed for the islands.

Once Vader's army had arrived at the islands, Belladar told him of the structure the Rebels had set up in their bases. Vader however, questioned the Governor on how the Rebels had been allowed to infiltrate Reytha, but Belladar was not sure of what Vader was asking. Deciding that the governor had failed the Empire for the last time, Vader used the Force to strangle Belladar, killing him. Vader then destroyed the Rebel bases in the Montrosa islands and continued his search for the Alliance Fleet.

Personality and Traits
"The weakness of Governor Belladar leads Lord Vader to suspect the Rebel infiltration extends further into Reytha."

- Emperor's Hand Mara Jade on the events at Reytha

Antes Belladar was able to achieve the position of Governor of Reytha under the Empire, but several years on the relatively peaceful planet led many to believe that he had grown soft, and the Empire even considered the possibility that Belladar was a Rebel sympathizer. Emperor's Hand Mara Jade saw the Governor as being weak in his abilities. Belladar also was known to prefer a task that was his responsibility be passed to someone else to save him the trouble of completing it himself, and often wore a visor that covered most of his face.

Behind the scenes
"I really would rather not."

Antes Belladar has only appeared in the 2001 PC video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and its 2002 expansion where he was voiced by James Horan. Belladar firstly was in the second level of the Imperial campaign, titled "Breaking Bread" and was also in the next level "Fire, Earth, Water and Air". In the levels Belladar does not actually appear, but his voice is heard talking to the player and he is shown in the games level editor. Belladar's first name is also only given in the level editor, in the levels his character is always just called "Reytha Governor" with his last name being given in dialogue with Darth Vader.

In Galactic Battlegrounds an inconsistency occurs involving Belladar. At the end of the first level of the Imperial campaign, the Empire finds intelligence on Yavin 4 that leads them to arrive at Reytha, however at the start of the next level Belladar thanks Vader for responding to his call for help, and Vader asks why he has been summoned. This article assumes that the Empire found the intelligence at Yavin 4 and left for Reytha, and that Belladar requested Darth Vader's assistance at the same time.
