NS President Sea Urchin will stand down and retire from NS, after a long career going back to the Clone Wars, in a few days. Once the result of the Presidential election is announced in a few days he will then begin a brief hand-over with the new President and then retire.
However Sea Urchin will begin his new job with the UNP almost immediately. He will take up a position on the UNP Defence Committee. In the longer term Sea Urchin is expected to run for the UNP Parliament.
