### **Biography**
Darius Holt rose from a modest upbringing in a decaying Earthside industrial zone. Driven by a desire to restore meaning and pride in humanity’s interstellar presence after the fragmentation of the Systems Alliance, Holt became a lawyer, civil rights advocate, and eventually, a parliamentarian during the early decades of the Systems Coalition.
He helped draft significant amendments to the **Constitution of the Systems Coalition**, including provisions that enshrined sapient rights for synthetic beings, bolstered anti-corporate monopolization laws, and guaranteed New Earth equal representation in Parliament.
Elected president by a sweeping majority in **2248 CE**, Holt became the first head of state born *after* the formation of the Coalition. He represents a generational shift from Alliance-era governance to a true interstellar democratic federation.

### **Government and Role**

* **Commander-in-Chief:** *Secretary of Defense Jacoby Poppleton*

### **Quotes from New Earth**
* *"They called it a failed colony. I call it the future’s proving ground."*
* *"We may be 2.5 million light-years from Sol, but our convictions made the jump with us."*
* *"The Shepard lives on—in our laws, in our sacrifice, and in every soul who chooses peace over power."*
* *"I didn’t run for president to be safe. I ran because someone had to remind the galaxy who we are."*
---
### **Presidential Highlights**
* **Reformed the Galactic Trade Accord** to prioritize fair labor across human and alien colonies
* **Brokered peace talks** between rogue mercenary guilds and the Systems Coalition frontier patrols
* **Oversaw the New Earth Autonomy Act**, allowing the Andromeda colony greater self-governance
* **Reinstated the Credit** after years of economic collapse under the Attica standard
* **Established Dominion Day** as a remembrance of the Systems Alliance’s collapse—and rebirth
