After [[Lady President]] [[Romana III]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon (novel)|The Shadows of Avalon]]'') mysteriously disappeared from this Homeworld, [[Head of the Presidency (The Book of the War)|the new 412th President]], 95 years before the War, supported the [[intervention]]ists' idea that [[War in Heaven|the War]] was an impossibility, as any [[The Enemy|possible enemy]] could just be neutralised with ease. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Crimes Against History (short story)|var=second edition|namedpart=Modern Time: The Paradox Era|name=CAH}}) | After [[Lady President]] [[Romana III]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon (novel)|The Shadows of Avalon]]'') seemed mysteriously disappeared from this Homeworld, possibly because she was now leading [[Romana III's Gallifrey|another cloneworld]] (or because she had stayed on that Homeworld all along and had never actually ruled this one), [[Head of the Presidency (The Book of the War)|the new 412th President]], 95 years before the War, supported the [[intervention]]ists' idea that [[War in Heaven|the War]] was an impossibility, as any [[The Enemy|possible enemy]] could just be neutralised with ease. ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|Crimes Against History (short story)|var=second edition|namedpart=Modern Time: The Paradox Era|name=CAH}}) Because of this, 76 years before the War, [[The War King|the renegade who would later become the War King]] forced his way into the President's office to warn him of the Enemy and future War. However, the President re-affirmed his denial of any possibility of a [[The Enemy|threatening enemy]], even when the rest of the [[ruling House]]s were convinced. | ||
Thirty-five years before the War, the renegade returned yet again and was immediately arrested. During his trial the President declared the [[Faraway Declaration]], intending to set up a [[colony]] on the planet [[Faraway]], allegedly "the [[homeworld]] of [[the Enemy]]", to disprove of their existence, and left [[Umbaste]] as a "temporary President". ([[PROSE]]: {{cite source|The Book of the War (novel)|namedpart=The Faraway Declaration}}) However, this President was instead returned to the Homeworld later than planned, and as the [[First Message from the Enemy]], leading to Umbaste staying president. | Thirty-five years before the War, the renegade returned yet again and was immediately arrested.
