Dora (Frontier in Space): Difference between revisions

'''Dora''' ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Transcendence of Ephros (audio story)|The Transcendence of Ephros]]'') was the [[President of Earth]] in [[2540]]. She was closely advised by [[Earth]]'s primary military officer, General [[John Williams]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Space War]]'')

She and Williams had once been friends. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'') In [[2520]] she served as a [[senator]]'s aide on a peace initiative that ended in Williams inadvertently beginning the [[Human-Draconian War]] in what he believed to be an act of self-defence. Years later, after her successful campaign for [[President of Earth]], she appointed Williams to be her military advisor. She wore a [[silver]] locket with a picture of twenty-year-old Williams. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Space War]]'')

After a series of raids against [[Earth]] [[cargo ship]]s, believed to be the work of [[Draconia]], the president personally met with the [[Draconian prince|Draconian Emperor's son]] in order to negotiate an end to hostilities. She came under pressure from both her [[military advisor]]s and the [[Brook (Frontier in Space)|political opposition]] to take military action against Draconia. Eventually, she agreed to break off [[diplomacy|diplomatic]] relations. However, she refused to fire the first shot in a war.
