Gannaria had gone through a lot of turmoil in recent times, threats of war always seemed to loom on the horizon, and internal politics continued to pester the attention of Victoria. The planet had seen a significant uptick in crime since local gangs had firebombed the capital's police headquarters. Every sweep knocked out one, only for another to rise up in its place making keeping the peace quite difficult.
The galactic war raged on in the distance which had commanded a significant amount of her attention but still, the Consul had responsibilities back home to attend to. The latest information pack beeped and downloaded itself onto her datapad, yet another gang had sprouted up and was terrorizing suburbs in the outer quadrant of the city. While that wasn't particularly exciting on its own, news surrounding its leadership had caught her attention.
Another issue that lingered in the background was a corporate labour dispute between an industrial corporation and its workers in relation to its treatment of the latter. It was only natural for a business to seek to do the bare minimum that it had to, they thought, and no more whereas the employees would argue that they went above and beyond for little gain.
It was a complex mess and one that would probably disrupt local production for some time as the workers threatened to strike if their demands for better conditions were not met. The corporation likewise complained they would have to close the business if they were forced to acquiesce to these.
It was also not uncommon for foreign dignitaries to visit their fellow senators, but even Victoria was unsure of what to make of the Senator of Eshan. It wasn't exactly a secret that Gannaria had been facing a little difficulty following the most recent senate session, so she could assume that it was linked to that in some way. Nevertheless, Victoria would ensure that Miss Von Bell would be treated with all due respect and afforded a diplomatic space pad near one of the Consul's offices.
After she arrived, Victoria would politely dip her head and welcome the senator to her home. "Welcome Senator Von Bell, I do hope the trip was comfortable. Please follow me back to my office, I'm eager to hear from you."
