Tanya Abrams

Tanya Abrams (2049-2134) was a Terran founding figure, statesman and arguably the closest advisor and friend of the Custodian. She is best known for her administrative and political skills, having been the only Premier of the First Commonwealth's history. She is also known for having been one of the most important advisors of the Custodian when it came to pushing for democratic reform, with the 2088 concessions being largely due to her demands. From 2088 she served as permanent member of the executive council. Her career is also notable for having been the youngest of the Custodian's advisors, educated in what would come to be known as the General Administration Academy. 
She retired from active politics when the Federation was formed in 2097, but remained a member of the Democratic faction. She was part of the Radical subfaction, pushing for drastically higher democratic powers. In 2127, she was elected as chancellor of the Federation as leader of the Democratic faction, and was re-elected in 2133. Under her chancellorship, large reforms were undertaken to strengthen the powers of the Assembly of the People, resulting in stronger democratic powers. She also oversaw the recovery from the 2125 economic recession and put laws in place preventing economic crises in the future, which have been largely successful.
