<blockquote>
In a formal ceremony in the Congress building on Mars, Congressman Ethan Naylor, the Congressman for Siren  was formally signed in as the Federal Vice President.

This is a controversial choice as this is the first time a member of the Federal Leadership has been a Congressman from a frontier world. Some have said that President Halsey is reacting to critics that here government is too Sol-centric, and others that she may regret the choice.

In his appointment speech Naylor said:

"I am honoured to have this phenomenal role. I see it as my job to ensure that Federal States on the frontier will get the attention they deserve."
