'''Amrita Ross''' is a minister of the [[Marlinist Colonies | '''Amrita Ross''' is a minister of the [[Marlinist Colonies]]. In late 3306, she was [[Marlinist refugee crisis|forced to flee]] her original home in the [[Empire]] with millions of other [[Marlin Duval|Marlinists]] to escape political persecution, and was recognized as a community leader among the refugees. After the founding of the Marlinist Colonies, Ross was elected as a minister in the new democratic government. Among her colleagues, Ross is seen as a strong supporter of reconciliation and reintegration with the Empire. | ||
Following the death of First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] in the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]'s bombings of two Marlinist starports on July 29, 3307, Minister Ross assumed the role of Acting First Minister. Ross proved less able as a mediator than her predecessor, as she was divided between her opposition to the NMLA and her desire to see a Marlinist presence in the [[Imperial Senate]], a goal which the NMLA would likely have achieved had their preferred candidate, [[Verity Dexter]], not lost to [[Kayode Tau]] in the election for prime consul of the [[Marlinist Consulate]], which was itself the event that had precipitated the NMLA's terror attack. Despite Ross's best efforts, she failed to prevent civil war from breaking out in the Marlinist Colonies when the Exiled Marlinist Assembly of Baltah'Sine, an anti-NMLA faction, declared war against the pro-NMLA Marlinism Reformation Party on August 12, 3307. When the war ended a week later with the defeat of Marlinism Reformation Party, Ross called a snap election to decide the Marlinist Colonies' next leader. | Following the death of First Minister [[Jenna Fairfax]] in the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]]'s bombings of two Marlinist starports on July 29, 3307, Minister Ross assumed the role of Acting First Minister.
