Doctor Abena Tau was the Secretary of the Interior during the Spock administration in the aftermath of the Borg War.
History
Brought into the office at the closing of the Borg War, Tau's primary role wa 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 has 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 has been seen as one of the most influential people in the government when it comes to looking after the rights and wishes of the individual.
However, some view 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.
