Event (1)
- Gallente Presidential Election YC128
Alix Moreau (Autonomist) won 34.8% — narrowly beat Soraya Roden (Progressive). Lucas Tenzin third. One of the closest elections on record.
synthesis
Moreau's narrow win over Roden inverted the expected hawkish response to Caldari escalation. The Federation elected a reformer at the exact moment State aggression peaked, structurally weakening the Federation military response and giving Mountain/Ocean an opening they wouldn't have had under a Roden presidency.
