Antidar Williams was a Human male who piloted Senatorial shuttles in the service of the Galactic Republic. Originally hailing from Barkhesh, Williams flew agricultural airspeeders in his youth, before departing his homeworld in the hope of finding adventure. He found employment with the Republic, but soon afterward he joined Senator Ranulph Tarkin's unsanctioned paramilitary force, which journeyed to the Qotile system to engage Iaco Stark's Stark Commercial Combine in the Stark Hyperspace War.

Williams served faithfully in the various battles of Troiken, and he was later recruited to join the Judicial Forces. Over the years, he reached the rank of lieutenant, and became the pilot of the Consular-class space cruiser Acceptance. The Acceptance and Williams himself would in time participate in the Battle of Galidraan, and the Yinchorri Uprising, the latter of which resulted in the cruiser's destruction. Afterward, Williams was relegated to piloting shuttles, but one fellow pilot he had befriended at Galidraan, Maoi Madakor, requested that he serve as her co-pilot for a mission to deliver the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to the blockaded world of Naboo. The mission would cost the two their lives, however, as their ship, the Radiant VII, was destroyed by the Trade Federation with them on board.
