Crin stood in the cockpit of the CR90 staring out at the tunnel of hyperspace they were currently traveling through. The ship would make good time because of the fact Volus was just off one of the main trade routes of the galaxy and would be arriving on Coruscant shortly. She would keep her arms folded behind her back, her hands resting together. "General Star, we should be arriving on Imperial Center shortly." One of the pilots said glancing back over his shoulder at her for a response. She would just nod in return to acknowledge the statement. Behind here there was the typical activity on board the ship her aides going back and forth trying to get all of her predecessor's motions filed up and the bills before the senate in order to offer her a report when they arrived in her office. It was a busy day as the funeral service for the long time senator had been that day and the crowds had come out to pay their respects to the man who had served as their voice to the galaxy for 4 decades and had served them for almost his entire life.
Crin had known she would be selected for the job when the Senator retired though she had secretly been dreading it. She was a soldier and always had been. She'd served most of her life in the Volusian military leading a large group of militia in their fight against the Separatists years before. A war during which she had become highly decorated by both Volus and the Republic as she had gone off world to continue the fight shortly after they had beaten the separatist forces on Volus, but that had been a long time ago. Since then she had been moved up in the ranks gradually until she reached Brigadier general at which time the King informed her that he would be asking her to serve in a different capacity in the future. The galaxy was enjoying a relative peace after the war and he wanted her to serve as their Senator when the now late one had retired which had been coming.
Despite her initial hesitation at the offer she had finally given in agreeing because it was the best way that she could continue to serve the people of Volus in the years to come. She would turn away and begin to walk back down the hallway feeling the ship come out of hyperspace moments later and smiled a bit to herself. 'Perfect timing' she thought to herself as she continued on towards the back of the ship and the main ramp. She would be the first one off of course as was the custom.
She herself had eschewed from guards on this trip as she was more than capable of defending herself as she had shown during the clone wars. The ship itself had left right from the funeral so she was still in the official dress uniform of the Volusian military with the bar and single star still on her shoulder. On her chest she wore just a select few of the medals she had been awarded over her years of service as was the custom to wear at official events.
Up in the cockpit her pilots would transmit all the required information even where they were planning to land. They had done this dozens of times before with the previous Senator and as such knew the drill. The ship would continue on down finally coming to a landing in one of the larger hanger bays in the Executive building the one the ship had been permitted to land it. It would take several long minutes for the ship to finally get settled and for her entourage to meet her at the ramp before it opened and they were allowed to proceed down.
