Life and Career
Felicia Winters was born in 3229 on Taylor Colony in the Tau Ceti system and until the age of 44 focused on building her career inside Sirius Corporation.

However, crisis soon characterised her tenure in the role as separatists in Lugh took up arms against the Federal government and President Haisey ordered refugee ships fleeing the region to be shot down. Despite her behind the scenes protests over the conducting of the war effort her public support for the President helped to ensure a collapse in electoral support for the Liberals.

Then in 3301 the entire Federation was thrown into political strife when Starship One went missing carrying both the President and Vice President Ethan Naylor. Winters was appointed acting President but had difficulty overcoming her feelings of bereavement for her colleagues and struggled to exercise the new authority vested in her. A motion of no confidence in her was put forward by the leader of the Republican Party Zachary Hudson and was passed by congress.

Defeated, and ousted from office, she became determined to rebuild her party and her image, dragging the political corpse that was the Liberal Party from the bottom of the polls to being on a par with the Republican Party once more.
