In the senate, he was one of Chancellor Palpatine's leading critics. In debates, Bel Iblis eviscerated Antilles on both his unwillingness to stand up for Corellia and his inability to dress himself. As his movement gained popularity among Corellians, he challenged incumbant Bill Antilles for Corellia's Senate seat. Bel Iblis quit his job and became an activist and worked to limit the power of the Republic over the rights of individual planets. While he easily found a job, he felt that he did not fit in with his corporate colleagues, yet he no longer connected with his old friends, who resented his education and income.
He graduated with a degree in Human Studies, and returned home. After spending the rest of the night trying to find her, he decides to accept his scholarship to the Academy and leave Corellia.īel Iblis was an above average student at the Academy, but frequently clashed with his instructors, who disapproved of his renegade ways. During a fateful night one summer, he saw a beautiful blonde in a white speeder. Bel Iblis spent most of his time cruising around the planet, hanging out at local burger joints, and smoking behind the high school gymnasium.
Corellia was a rough and tumble planet filled with barbershop quartets and drag races.
