Getting from one place to another on Corellia was close to mayhem nowadays. Local uprisings filled the streets with protesters. Ever since the Centerpoint crisis the government had been waning. No confidence votes had been made, almost every 3 days there was one. The legacy of the McKells was coming to an end.

It was a typical day in the suburb of Western Gates; Western Gates was home to all of the political families. The Governors Manshion was located at the end of the street, with a beautiful winding hoverway. A small hover-limo was parked outside the house. There were four people in black suits with glasses on. They were surveying the nearby streets, not missing a thing. The large Alderraenean wood doors were opend. Out of the doors six people came. One was a tall women; she was wearing a short black dress and a veil over her face; this was Julie McKell, the mother. Next came a boy, just under a Meter tall. He was holding his mom's hand with a scared look in his eyes. He was wearing cargo shorts and a collared t-shirt; this was Robert McKell Jr., the youngest child. Following the child was a teenage girl. She was clutching Robert's hand much like he was clutching his mother's. The girl was wearing a black dress similar to her mother. This girl had loads of make-up on. This girl was Tiffany McKell, the teenage daughter. Following Tiffany was an old man. He hobbled along on a walking staff. He wore brown pants and a pastel collared shirt. This was Abe McKell, the grandfather. Following the grandfather was a teenager that looked about 17 Years old. He was wearing blue pants and a local music band's shirt. His hair was tosseled about and he had a pair of sunglasses on. This was James McKell, the college kid. Last came Robert McKell Sr. He was the father. He was checking every door, making sure they were locked. When everyone was in the limo, Robert rushed in and closed the door. The escorts followed in a small hover-car behind.

Robert McKell Sr. was the governor of Corellia when the Centerpoin Crisis occured a week ago. In the past week, there were twenty death threats on the McKell family. The people did not believe in McKell. Just yesterday they voted him out of office in a unanimous vote of No-confidence. Robert decided that they all must leave Corellia for a safer life. So they all gathered up their belongings, took out their full account of 100,2346,213 credits, and went to the spaceport, where they would fly their YT-2400's out to another planet.

The family owned 2 YT-2400s. The 1rst one, was named Dauntless Fire. The Second one was named Farthest Hope. The mother, father, and the little kid entered Dauntless Fire through the boarding ramp. The Teenager, the college kid, and the grandfather entered Farthest Hope. They fired up the engines, and left the planet before space authority could stop them.

OOC:[b]This is a closed "RP" about the history of my character. The Time period is one week after the Centerpoint Crisis.

The hyperspace jump of the Two stockfrieghters were the same. They entered and exitted at the same time. When they returned from hyperspace they were in the rubble of what was once Alderaan. Small asteroids float around; small packages from people left to honor the unlucky ones were to be seen. Altogether it was a sad site.

James: Father, I suggest we relocate on Courscant. There is plenty to do there; plenty of work and housing.

Robert Sr.: Yes son, that is a great Idea. Remember though, Courscant is a busy place, lots of people from Corellia may be there. We may have a little trouble.

The stockfrieghters entered hyperspace again; this time a jump about one hour long.

When they exitted hyperspace they saw just how busy Courscant was. Everything from Ugly Starfighters to Star Destroyers were orbitting Courscant. The Star Destroyers were from the goverment that currently controlled Courscant; they were there to protect the galactic city. Pleasure Yachts, Cargo ships, and transports all waited in-line for their turn to enter the planet. Hundreds of ships left the planet every hour too.

McKell family's YT-2400s, this is Space Authority, you have permission to land in Central Bays Lot 4435 At 30 Miles into the atmosphere, you will receive automated guidance. Space Authority Over and Out

The McKell's piloting the ships eached pulled their thrusters foward. They engaged the engines and began their descent into the atmosphere. At 30 miles out, they were pulled in by tractor beams.

Son, begin power down check-list. Keep Security at high, Dauntless Fire's Robert McKell over and out.

With the power down check-list done the boarding ramp opened with steam pouring out.

The First thing James noticed was the crowd. It was overrun with humans and aliens. The next thing he noticed was the smell. The mixture of body odor plus the foregin smells of aliens gave this place a unique smell.


James, let's go to the New Republic Embassy, I am sure they will be able to find us some housing.

Yes father...

Julie, make sure no one gets lost, this is a busy place.

OOC: This takes place after Centerpoint so Courscant is under NR control correct?
