8/22/816 A.S - Royal Liner Colonial One, Tau 44
Colonial President Vladimir Abelard Resigns from his Post



Today, the official sources confirmed the information, that president of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, 53 years old Vladimir Abelard resigned from his post. It is unknown yet, what circumstances led him to this decision, nor who will be his successor on the presidental chair. Such a great change in a controversal faction, like the Colonial Remnant is, can bring many changes not only to people living in the Taus.

Vladimir Abelard (*5/17/763 A.S ) is one of the survivors, that entered known parts of Sirius in 802 A.S. Although Abelard`s history from his birth to the day, when he entered Sirius onboard one of the Colonial firestars, Pegasus, is blurred, we know, that before he became the president in 814 A.S, he maintained various vital positions in the Colonial leadership, such as diplomacy officer, ambassandor, or Quorum of Twelve member. As a successor of president Orrin Dymas, who resigned in the same year, Abelard took an essential role in many diplomatic relations, securing many important treaties for the Colonials. Under his command, the Tau 44 was colonised by the Colonial Remnant and now can be called their home.

There ain`t any official information yet about the new president, but unofficial sources confirmed, that there already are two candidates. The Colonial Remnant is ruled by the president, who stands above the Quorum of Twelve - a council of some sort. The president also has indirect control of both Colonial battlegroups. All these rights make the Colonial president one of the most fundamental persons not only in the Tau sector, but literally in whole Sirius. Many eyes are watching the Tau sector with fear and doubt. What will the new Colonial head bring to lives of common Sirian citizens? No one can say for now.
