{{NPCinfo | profession = Federation President | race = Saurian | faction = UFP | location = Earth | location2 = New Romulus | voice = Marc Biagi }} '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is the current President of the [[United Federation of Planets]]. He was elected in [[2392]] and is in his fourth term as of [[2411]]. == Federation Presidency == === First term === In [[2392]], Aennik Okeg, who was considered an outside candidate, succeeded [[Nanietta Bacco]] as Federation President in a close vote over [[Jaed Maz]] of [[Trill (planet)|Trill]], with [[Bajoran]] [[Shad Ona]] in third place. Okeg, the first [[Saurian]] ever to hold the Federation presidency, began his term by offering Maz and Shad places in his cabinet in an effort to promote unity among supporters of his competitors. President Okeg's first state trip was to [[Cestus III]], where Federation-moderated talks unsuccessfully attempted to settle [[Klingon-Gorn War|the conflict]] between the [[Gorn Hegemony]] and the [[Klingon Empire]]. After [[J'mpok]] became Chancellor of the Klingon Empire the [[2393|following year]], President Okeg recalled Ambassador [[Worf]] to Earth for consultations. A subsequent invitation for J'mpok to a meeting with Okeg was not followed. In [[2395]], after the revelation that [[Starfleet]] was secretely testing a [[cloak]]ing device, it took three months for President Okeg to convince the [[Romulan]]s and the Klingons to send representatives to a summit to discuss the situation. When the meeting finally began, Okeg apologized and said that he had signed an executive order banning all research into or creation of Federation cloaking technology. "The narrow legal view may be that the {{MAlpha|Treaty of Algeron}} ended when [[Romulus]] was destroyed," Okeg said. "The [[Romulan Star Empire]] we knew is gone, and you are a new people. What has not changed is the Federation's commitment to peace." === Second term === With President Okeg having been a vivid supporter of the motion, the Federation approves rules for dual citizenship in [[2398]], thereby boosting Okeg's voter base and ensuring his reelection for a second term. In his re-inauguration speech, Okeg reached out to the Klingon Empire. "We have had our differences, but we are stronger together than apart," Okeg said. "Unity is the honorable path." When the first links of the Federation [[transwarp]] network are opened in [[2399]], President Okeg remarked that "Planets that were weeks away at warp will be connected in ways they never could be before. When the crew of the {{USS|Voyager}} brought this technology back from the [[Delta Quadrant]], they created a world where someday you can have breakfast on [[Deep Space 9]], and be at Cestus III in time to catch an afternoon [[baseball]] game." Later that year, just as Okeg announced plans to travel to [[Qo'noS]] for a diplomatic meeting, the {{IKS|Kang}} brings evidence for an [[Undine]] infiltration of the [[Gorn]] government to J'mpok. After the Klingon Empire invades Gorn space, J'mpok sent a message to President Okeg, asking for Federation assistance as spelled out in the [[Khitomer Accords]]. In response, the Federation Council condemned the invasion, causing the Empire to revoke the Accords. "Chancellor J'mpok's decision is regrettable," Okeg said. "However, it is his to make. We will continue to do all we can to repair our relationship with our longtime friends in the Klingon Empire." In [[2400]], after Ambassador Worf's attempts for reconciliation are rejected by the Empire, President Okeg told a reporter from the Federation News Service: "The war is consuming much of the High Council's time. We'll keep extending the hand of friendship. When the time is right, the Klingons will know that we're willing to let whatever bygones there are to be forgotten." As the tensions with the Klingons heat up when they invoke ancient claims to the [[Hromi Cluster]] in [[2404]], President Aennik Okeg called for calm. "Let's not fight the war before the first shot is fired," Okeg said. "We will explore every option open to us, and peace is of utmost importance." [[2405|The following year]], however, President Okeg informed the Klingon Empire that the Federation will not leave the Hromi Cluster or the sectors surrounding it: "We will continue our explorations of the cluster. We will not uproot Federation settlements that have been in these sectors for decades. You claim you have ancient claims to this region of space. I say that current possession counts for something. We do not want war," Okeg continues. "But we will defend ourselves." === Third term === Although he was not able to prevent [[Federation-Klingon War|all out war with the Klingons]], early victories as well as the technology and trade agreements with the [[Ferengi Alliance]] gave Okeg sufficient political buoyancy to be re-elected for a third term as Federation President in 2405. In [[2406]], a plague infected the entire {{MBeta|Carnegie}} population. Although he denied to comment on the possible origin of the plague, Okeg saw to it, that Starfleet got all resources neccessary to treat the infection and enforce a quarantine. [[2407|The next year]], J'mpok rejected a personal plea from President Okeg to resume peace talks. It would not be until [[2410]], that peace between the Klingon Empire and the Federation is finally restored as both powers face the new [[Iconian]] threat. === Fourth term === <br /> ==Missions involved== * {{mission|The Temporal Front||ALL}}: In the wake of the costly [[Iconian War]], President Okeg, together with the leaders of the [[Klingon Empire]] and the [[Romulan Republic]] amongst others, attends a summit on [[New Romulus]] to form a galactic alliance. Although a [[Na'kuhl]] [[Krog|terrorist]] makes an attempt on his life, he is saved by the sacrifice of Lieutenant Commander [[Shavaa]]. Cmdr. [[Tiaru Jarok]] takes the attacker into custody and the summit is later resumed. * {{mission|First Contact Day Re-Enactment||ALL}}: President Okeg introduces [[player]]s to First Contact Day and explains requirements for each phase of the mission. ==Other involvement== [[File:Aennik Okeg blog.png|thumb|Okeg in his office]] * [[Lore Blogs#In the Purview of Diplomats|"In the Purview of Diplomats"]]: In [[2410]], President Okeg meets with Ambassador [[Lwaxana Troi]] and Councilman Mercer Ferris to hear their opinions on an upcoming Federation Council vote to provide emergency support to the [[Na'kuhl]]. While Ambassador Troi is in favor of the measure, Councilman Ferris strongly opposes it, even after Okeg tries to convince him to rethink his position on the matter. After Ferris leaves, Okeg and Troi share some wine. ==Note== *While Aennik Okeg had already been mentioned in the ''[[Path to 2409]]'' before the release of ''[[Star Trek Online]]'', it was not until the release of "The Temporal Front" - over six years into the game - that he was finally featured as a non-player character in game. *Okeg is named after the Lead Designer, Al Rivera, whose screen name is Captain Geko. Okeg is Geko spelled backwards. ==See Also== *[[L'Rell]] - Current Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. * [[D'Tan]] - Proconsul of the [[Romulan Republic]]. *[[J'mpok]] - Former Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. ==External link== {{MB Link}} {{Factionnav/Federation}} [[Category: United Federation of Planets]]
