====3300 - 3305====

[[Jasmina Halsey]] of the Liberal Party was elected [[President of the Federation]] in 3300. Her initial popularity quickly faded after she criminalized the narcotic [[Onionhead]] in December of that year, and launched a short-lived military campaign against Onionhead growers in the [[Kappa Fornacis]] system. Soon after, an independent minor faction seized control of the Federation system of [[Lugh]], prompting Halsey to retaliate and igniting [[The War for Lugh]], which ended in an embarrassing defeat for the Federation. Halsey's reputation took its most dramatic hit when she ordered an attack against an unarmed refugee convoy which the leader of the Lugh rebels was reportedly aboard; almost ten thousand innocent Federal civilians died in the attack, and Halsey's approval rating dropped to 26%. By April 3301, her approval rating had fallen further to 16%, the lowest rating ever recorded for a sitting Federal president.
