.

Garr Antilles was a Human male Correllian lawyer and politician. Born to two CEC employees, Garr benefited from a good education and a comfortable life, being put through a corporate-sponsored degree in law when he was old enough. Like many on Corellia, he signed up to the Corellian Armed Forced upon completing his University Degree. Serving for fifteen years, he worked his way up to serve as a Lieutenant in the army and was honourably discharged after his fifteenth year of service.

Thereafter he worked for several years as a defence lawyer, before standing for office as the Mayor of Coronet City. He was an outspoken supporter of Corellian independence in a troubled galaxy and opposed his planet's membership of the ISC in his formative political years. Following his homeworld's move away from the Galactic Community, he committed to running for the presidency of his homeworld.
