Summary
First Secretary Sophia Hale is a member of the Federation Diplomatic Service and a ranking member of the diplomatic mission to the former Romulan Neutral Zone, where she has served since the Romulus Supernova. A vocal proponent of Federation interventionism in the region, Hale has recently secured an opportunity to oversee humanitarian operations in the area and negotiation of research agreements with local powers. While this would be a great step forward in Federation policy, Hale has many political opponents who would much rather see her fail.
