Daniela Argen

Daniela Argen (2762 - 2838) was a United Empire of Earth (UEE) Senator of Locke (Idris IV) from 2801 to 2827. First elected under a platform of revitalizing the economy, she spearheaded a series of tax breaks for first-time business owners and instituted a hiring program that decreased Locke's overall unemployment rate. In 2815, she presented a proposal to the UEE Senate outlining a detailed plan to construct a maximum security prison and an antimatter processing plant on Kellog VI. She argued that the heavy guard presence would serve as an early warning system against Vanduul incursions through the then-newly discovered jump points to Virgil and Vector without costing additional military resources, and the plant would generate revenue and provide the UEE with a steady stream of antimatter. Her plan was approved. During her third term, Argen was arrested by the Advocacy on charges of accepting bribes, and was forced to resign. After a trial, she was fined for her actions and went on to become a private business consultant. In 2838, she was found dead in a hotel room on Asura (Ferron III), having suffered multiple stab wounds. Her murder remains unsolved.
