Before the outbreak of the [[Last Great Time War]], she had recently undergone a [[regeneration]], following an assassination. She had to negotiate between [[Trave]] and Romana to facilitate a sharing of information between them. When refugees from [[Phaidon]] asked for sanctuary, she sent Trave, Leela and a member of the High Council to inspect their ship just in case there were [[Dalek]]s on board. Following this act, she declared the start of the Time War. She knew about Project Revenant and the War Council's plan to resurrect dead Time Lords.

Livia and Trave planned to resurrect [[Rassilon]] to lead the Time Lords through the Time War. To do this, Livia resigned from office. She asked Romana and [[Narvin]] if there was a technicality that would help her retain her reputation. She named [[Valerian (Celestial Intervention)|Valerian]] as her successor, but he was challenged by Romana. When Valerian won the election, she had [[Karla (Celestial Intervention)|Karla]] use Project Revenant to resurrect Rassilon in Valerian's body.

After Rassilon's resurrection, she was appointed to the new office of Prime Minister, but was not considered to be a part of Rassilon's inner circle. She agreed with Trave and Romana to propose the formation of an advisory board to counter the influence of Rassilon's sycophants. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Havoc (audio story)|Havoc]]'') She began to fear that she had made a mistake in bringing back Rassilon, and secretly informed Romana of his plans for [[Ysalus]].

Romana criticised her for not being able to choose which side of the fence she was on. When Narvin refused to help Romana assassinate Rassilon, Livia offered her assistance.

The Presidents are categorised by in-universe chronological order. Loose chronological order applies for the lists, but when in doubt (as with the temporal uncertainty of the Time Wars), list them in the order in which they were first depicted as Presidents in the real world.
