Randol Yorke, the first President of the Federation, died after a long illness in March 760. The then Vice President, Lincoln Troy-Abrahams, called a quick election to confirm his position. During a vicious campaign that resulted in a number of deaths and injuries of prominent Federation movers and shakers, Lincoln proved victorious.
It was a year and a day later that Randol returned from the dead, and found that his Federation had moved on. His work was not yet complete however, and several changes to the Federal constitution have enshrined the post of First president in perpetuity as a key member of the Federation's government and leadership.
Luna-Lei is the latest wife of Randol Yorke. Their romance and marriage entirely occurred in the time since Randol's death.
Their wedding was a spectacular event held at Blackhall, featuring many of Randol's cadre of Wolves and Luna-Lei's already eisting children.
Luna-Lei is a Black Deity who has taken the aspect of Incest. At the time of their wedding, she was also the host of the Goa'uld Heqet, Goddess of Fertility and Childbirth. Subsequently, Heqet was separated from Luna-Lei, and she is now alone again.
Megan was one of the major players in the old regime - the previous president had an arcane method of infecting all the significant members of the Federation administration and senior military with a loyalty virus, and Megan was a key factor in the manufacture and administration of that program.
However, the events that led to Randol's death also cause a knock-on effect that all the people previously involved in the distribution of the loyalty virus either died or were severely injured. In Megan's case, she was powerful enough in her own right to avoid death, but she did spend several months recovering from debilitating injuries.
As a result of being indisposed, she missed the election and the election campaign. By the time she was able to return to society, it was all over. Nevertheless, she remains a significantly powerful individual, and Lincoln wisely decided that he could not leave her blowing in the wind. Therefore, he appointed her Presidential Assistant, a title with no basis in the Federation constitution, but nevertheless confirmed by Senate.
