It was a quiet, lackluster life for the next five years for Templar. Serving as the fleet's auxiliary command cruiser often meant staying behind to coordinate defense of the Calamari system while Crusader would take a small task force out to deal with regional incursions or events. Galactic military analysts would claim that Templar was a "melancholy" warship, "wasting away the best years of her life" on nothing more than glorified guard duty. She did accompany the fleet to Chandrila in 13 ABY to assist in moving the New Republic government to the newly-retaken Coruscant, and then stayed on to patrol the Perlemian Trade Route between Coruscant and the "Six Sisters".
