Ursula Liao

Ursula Liao (born 3rd March 2551 - died 25th June 2599).[1] was a Capellan Chancellor who joined forces with FWL and Terran Hegemony to form the Star League.

Biography

Early life

Ursula Liao was the only child of Chancellor Terrence Liao and Victoria Matthews, born into a loveless marriage that effectively ended after her mother, who only sought to wield the weak-willed Liao’s power, was exiled by Liao’s closest circle of advisors. She was supposedly in touch with her mother, but evidence suggests it was falsified by Liao agents. As her father negotiated the Confederation’s inclusion in the Star League, Ursula steeped herself in the history and lore of her progenitors.

Chancellorship

She succeeded her father at the young age of twenty and had the task of leading the Confederation into the Star League Era before her.

It would be Ursula who finally signed the Star League Accords, but unlike many of her predecessors, Ursula played the dove rather than hawk. She argued against war with the Periphery, but time and again brokered her vote within the Star League Council to earn concessions for her Confederation. She willingly ceded troops and equipment for the forming SLDF, but resisted pressure to provide additional House forces to fight on the Taurian or Magistracy fronts. Instead, she took every advantage of membership in the Star League to expand her economy and advance her nation’s level of education and technology. Her only true challenge was the Freebooter’s War, the perpetrators of which she punished in true Liao form. Like her father before her, Ursula died at an early age before she could complete her work.

Succession

Ursula Liao never married, nor gave birth to any children. This was most likely due to the broken relationship of her parents.

The choosing of the next Chancellor was left to the Capellan Perfectorate.
