Doctor Abena Tau is the Vice-President of the Stark administration. She came into the role after serving for a long time as the Secretary of the Interior during the Spock and Jellico administrations in the aftermath of the Borg War.

History

Brought into the office at the closing of the Borg War, Tau's primary role was to coordinate and balance the requirements of the new stresses of the Federation, having been behind projects such as Earth-Share and other operations to take care of both homeless citizens and to focus on the lonely colony planets. She found extensive opposition amongst the more military members of the Cabinet in fighting for funding for internal matters, particularly in housing problems, and in attempting to ensure that those on non-Sol planets would not be ignored and marginalised. An avid supporter of returning autonomous governing power to the independent species on Earth, Doctor Tau was seen as one of the most influential people in the government when it came to preserving the rights and wishes of the individual.

However, some viewed her as not recognising the dangers of the galaxy-at-large. Her public defence has always been that it is her place to fight for the more liberal internal issues tooth and claw, and permit the President to consider the balancing act that needs to be played between individual interests.

She still had a good reputation as a liberal who recognises the realities of the modern world. Otherwise, supporters note, she would not have worked so ardently for the Jellico administration. It was this reputation, and this reasonable duality, which made Alexander Stark approach her during his election campaign as he sought a Vice-Presidential candidate. Tau refused him originally, not thinking that Stark could win and knowing she could not return to a position on Jellico's cabinet if she ran against him.

Doctor Tau was amongst those who was taken into 'protective custody' during the Federation Civil War, considered a possible rallying point for dissent against the Presidency. When the dust settled and Alexander Stark was confirmed as the rightfully elected President of the United Federation of Planets, again he approached Tau with an offer to take the position of Vice-President. This time, she accepted.
