Daniela Argen

Daniela Argen (2762 - 2838) was a [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth) [Senator](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VaZn8OqaNZ-senate) of [Locke (Idris IV)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RAX8yYv9jm-locke-idris-iv) from 2801 to 2827. First elected under a platform of revitalizing the economy, she spearheaded a series of tax breaks for first-time business owners and instituted a hiring program that decreased Locke's overall unemployment rate. In 2815, she presented a proposal to the UEE Senate outlining a detailed plan to construct a maximum security prison and an antimatter processing plant on [Kellog VI](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/R6dAQZgGQe-quarterdeck-kellog-vi). She argued that the heavy guard presence would serve as an early warning system against [Vanduul](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VpGPp92gdO-vanduul) incursions through the then-newly discovered jump points to Virgil and [Vector](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VgEE5KQeWY-vector-system-vs-1) without costing additional military resources, and the plant would generate revenue and provide the UEE with a steady stream of antimatter. Her plan was approved. During her third term, Argen was arrested by the [Advocacy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VDoP5pmODk-advocacy) on charges of accepting bribes, and was forced to resign. After a trial, she was fined for her actions and went on to become a private business consultant. In 2838, she was found dead in a hotel room on [Asura (Ferron III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0qaPo2JOj1-asura-ferron-iii), having suffered multiple stab wounds. Her murder remains unsolved.
