SPOILER WARNING: Second Formic War plot details follow.


Sharon Solomon was the second Hegemon of Earth.[1] She was first introduced in The Hive.

History[]

A Jewish American former senator and former Marine, Solomon was the highly respected President of the United States of America during the first years of the Second Formic War. In 2119, the Hegemony Council chose Solomon to become the next Hegemon after Ukko Jukes' resignation; according to Ukko, she was perceived as a good candidate due to the Hegemony's need to retain a strong alliance with the United States, as well as her strong reputation as a diplomat. Solomon also made a deal with Juke Limited in which Juke was contracted to build ships for the Third Invasion in secret. It is suggested that Solomon received the office of Hegemon in exchange for the Third Invasion contract.[1]

Quotes[]

""I am honored that the Hegemony Council has chosen me to serve as Hegemon. I feel humbled by the kind words and support of Ukko Jukes, who has led us through these dark days of fear and sorrow. As president of the United States, I have made and kept promises to our people. Now I make a solemn promise to all the free citizens of Earth, Luna, and throughout the solar system. I will bring to this new office the same steely resolve that defines me as an American, as well as a respect for all people of all nations, which defines me as a human being. [Applause] I give you my solemn vow, that I will do all in my power to preserve what is ours, to protect what we cherish, and to reclaim this solar system as our own. [Applause] We will not fall to the Formics. We will not yield. The human race will stand shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, and we will crush those who threaten to take our world. [Applause]”"
— Sharon Solomon, Special State of the Union Address to Congress
