Antilles served in the Triumvirate during the Alliance ' s Sith – Imperial War with the Galactic Empire , which saw numerous Alliance member worlds defect to the enemy .

The Empire sprang their trap at the Battle of Caamas , and the outmatched Alliance surrendered and conceded the war . The Triumvirs were replaced by loyal Imperial bureaucrats , and Antilles died at some point before 137 ABY . Biography . Prelude to war . Bail Antilles was a Human male who came from a family that was dedicated to governmental service . Prior to 130 ABY , he became a politician in the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances , a constitutional federation of member worlds and allied autonomous states . At some point , he sired a daughter , Ona Antilles . Antilles ' s personal charisma , connections , and family name allowed him to rise through the political ranks , and he eventually became a member of the Galactic Alliance ' s ruling Triumvirate . On the Alliance ' s capital world of Coruscant , Antilles served alongside the Mon Calamari Gial Gahan and the Ithorian Nu Toreena , all three of them having been elected by the Galactic Alliance Senate . Each Triumvir worked individually with specific government offices and advisory councils , and the three often consulted with members of the Alliance - allied New Jedi Order . A majority was required before the Triumvirate could make decisions or set policies , and the level - headed Antilles often cast the deciding vote . The Triumvirate faced a crisis in the year 127 ABY . The Jedi had been working with the Yuuzhan Vong — a species hated and feared by the galactic community due to a war of conquest they had initiated a century prior — to restore ravaged worlds with Yuuzhan Vong terraforming technology in an effort called the Ossus Project . The project was secretly sabotaged by the mysterious One Sith , however , and lethal mutations began to occur in the terraformed worlds ' populations . The galaxy was outraged , but the Jedi convinced the Galactic Alliance to stand behind the Yuuzhan Vong . When the Galactic Empire called for retribution and declared war on the Alliance , Antilles , Gahan , and Toreena found themselves leading their government through the Sith – Imperial War . Alliance ' s end . As the Empire exploited the failure of the Ossus Project to draw new worlds into its influence , the Alliance lost system after system , as well as vital military support . Many of the war plans concocted by Antilles and the Triumvirate failed , but the Empire struggled against the Force abilities of the Jedi . However , one year into the conflict , the Sith emerged from hiding and entered the fighting on the Empire ' s side . The Empire won victory after victory over the next two years , and by 130 ABY , factions within the Alliance who felt that their organization was grievously suffering sought a quick end to the war . When the Human Rear Admiral Piers Petan received intelligence that Emperor Roan Fel and a light escort would be covertly meeting with representatives of the Hapes Consortium and Chiss Ascendancy in orbit near the planet Caamas , he came before the Triumvirate on Coruscant with a plan : send all available ships to Caamas , capture or kill Fel , and force a peace upon the Empire . Also present at the meeting were Human Jedi Master Kol Skywalker and Duros Admiral Gar Stazi , both of whom expressed a belief that the intelligence had been planted in order to lure the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet away from Coruscant and into a trap . Gahan stood by the Jedi and cast his vote against the action while Toreena supported Petan , which left the decision to Antilles . He reluctantly obliged , believing that they had to take the risk despite their misgivings . The Battle of Caamas was indeed a trap , and the Alliance fleet was defeated while the Sith simultaneously attacked the Jedi present on a defenseless Coruscant . Petan surrendered to Imperial Grand Admiral Morlish Veed , which brought the war to an end . The Empire took control of every Alliance member world , and the Galactic Alliance ceased to exist . The Empire preserved the Alliance bureaucracy , adapting the existing political and governmental services for its new regime ; although the Triumvirate was retained , Antilles and his comrades were quickly replaced with loyal Imperial bureaucrats . The Triumvirate became an executive body at the command of the Emperor , who was soon afterward usurped from his throne by the Sith Lord Darth Krayt and sent into exile . Lord Krayt ' s Empire was challenged by Admiral Stazi , who had escaped from Caamas and formed the Galactic Alliance Remnant , and Ona Antilles served Stazi as a lieutenant . Bail Antilles died at some point prior to 137 ABY , by which time Ona no longer thought of him . Personality and traits . Bail Antilles was able to rise through the Galactic Alliance ' s political ranks due to his family name , connections , and personal charisma . As a member of the Triumvirate , he was known to carefully consider all options and not unwaveringly follow any particular organization or policy . Antilles was seen as level - headed , and he often provided the swing vote between the Jedi - sympathetic Gial Gahan and the quick – fix – seeking Nu Toreena . When deciding whether or not to attack the Empire at Caamas , Antilles considered the opposing viewpoints of both Piers Petan and Gar Stazi before ultimately choosing to risk the attack — Antilles felt that the Alliance , bereft of support from a number of systems , was slowly bleeding to death . Antilles ' s hair was brown , his eyes were blue , and his skin was light in color .
