In 99,500 CE, Soteris ran for election as the DLG's party leader after incumbent party leader '''Simos Adam Leandon''' stepped down due to health reasons. She won the leadership election with sixty percent of the vote. Under her leadership, the DLG saw an increase in support from voters across Tairane Federation. In the following year's presidential election, she ran against incumbent '''Ivos Carile''' of the '''National Unity Party''' ('''NUP'''). The faction is based on [[Mocryon]], a major Tairane Federation world located within the Federal Core Systems, and had been in power for fifty years at that point, and were seen by many as corrupt, sybaritic, and out-of-touch with average Tairane citizens. The NUP ran on a platform of languid promises change and reform, promising to reduce federal corruption and overspending deficits if they were elected into office. Soteris predictably won the election with an overwhelming seventy percent of the vote; she became both the first woman and the youngest to be ever elected president in all of Tairane history, and also the first Iolerian president in seventy years.

Our vision and passion had carried her through multiple campaigns and debates. On this day, surrounded by the people she loved, she stood before those assembled and those who watched her and told them about the future she would build for them. As my eyes fell on each familiar face, I hoped that they would see in her their own hopes and dreams realized, their own progress accomplished. And in turn, they hoped to see in her their own dreams realized as well. This woman was not a stranger to anyone there; they knew her strength and how hard she fought for them. She had spoken their names many times over the past year, directly into the chamber, with a tone of strength and determination. She had channeled the very thing they wanted to hear at that moment and gave it voice so they could feel heard. Her words were their words and her smiles were their smiles. We are a Federation of millions of star systems, and we are entering a new era of shifting galactic tides, fueled by new technological advancements and the desperate need to find new life. We must combine with the galactic community and work with them to further our never-ending thirst for knowledge and make us a better people. This nation has been stagnant in our former cerebrations for too long, stuck in the past, afraid to chart new courses. Avarice have led to the downfall of many great civilizations, but we will not let it happen here. We must rise above that and become a new society, one who regards all intelligent life with esteem and jousts for peace between our people. Our nation must change. We must face towards the forthcoming of future, towards the countless stars and further beyond.</small> <big>"</big> <small>President Ilera Soteris, '''99,502 CE'''</small></blockquote>As president, Soteris has worked to improve relations with Tairane Federation's neighbours. She has made several state visits to Frontier systems, and has hosted a number of foreign dignitaries at the Presidential Palace in Ioleria Prime. Soteris has also sought to increase Tairane Federation's involvement in intersystem affairs.

In 99,500 CE, Soteris ran for election as the DLG's party leader after incumbent party leader Simos Adam Leandon stepped down due to health reasons. She won the leadership election with sixty percent of the vote. Under her leadership, the DLG saw an increase in support from voters across Tairane Federation. In the following year's presidential election, she ran against incumbent Ivos Carile of the National Unity Party (NUP). The faction is based on Mocryon, a major Tairane Federation world located within the Federal Core Systems, and had been in power for fifty years at that point, and were seen by many as corrupt, sybaritic, and out-of-touch with average Tairane citizens. The NUP ran on a platform of languid promises change and reform, promising to reduce federal corruption and overspending deficits if they were elected into office. Soteris predictably won the election with an overwhelming seventy percent of the vote; she became both the first woman and the youngest to be ever elected president in all of Tairane history, and also the first Iolerian president in seventy years.

President of Tairane Federation

Soteris was inaugurated as the 103rd President of Tairane Federation on 99,502 CE. In her inauguration speech, Soteris thanks her supporters, and promised to work towards a more better future, as well as to increase Tairane Federation's involvement in intersytem and galactic affairs. She also pledged to reduce corruption and increase economic development. The speech transcript as it follows:

" In a place that was once her home, a young woman who had fought through the ranks to earn the most venerable service of the nation, President of the Tairane Federation, stood in front of millions of people and took her first steps into her new office. Our vision and passion had carried her through multiple campaigns and debates. On this day, surrounded by the people she loved, she stood before those assembled and those who watched her and told them about the future she would build for them. As my eyes fell on each familiar face, I hoped that they would see in her their own hopes and dreams realized, their own progress accomplished. And in turn, they hoped to see in her their own dreams realized as well. This woman was not a stranger to anyone there; they knew her strength and how hard she fought for them. She had spoken their names many times over the past year, directly into the chamber, with a tone of strength and determination. She had channeled the very thing they wanted to hear at that moment and gave it voice so they could feel heard. Her words were their words, and her smiles were their smiles. We are a Federation of millions of star systems, and we are entering a new era of shifting galactic tides, fueled by new rapid technological advancements, and the desperate need to find and establish new life past horizons. We must combine with the galactic community and work with them to further our never-ending thirst for knowledge, and make us a better people. This nation has been stagnant in our former cerebrations for too long, stuck in the past, afraid to chart new courses. Avarice have led to the downfall of many great civilizations, but we will not let it happen here. We must rise above that, and become a new society, one who regards all intelligent life with esteem and jousts for peace between our people. Our nation must change. We must face towards the forthcoming of future, towards the countless stars and further beyond. " President Ilera Soteris, 99,502 CE
