Amid a period of intense scrutiny and controversy over her mental well-being, Halsey announced plans to give up Federal politics and relocate to Alliance space in July 3302.
The former president emerged from her ordeal seemingly affected by visions of the " caretakers of the galaxy" that she claimed to have experienced while in cryostasis. Presumed dead for months, Halsey was found alive in her escape pod after her successor, Zachary Hudson, organized a public search in February 3302. The Starship One disaster, an assassination plot orchestrated by Fleet Admiral Lucas Vincent and Core Dynamics CEO Jupiter Rochester, interrupted Halsey's plans to revamp her administration and address citizens' concerns by cutting the Federal Navy's budget and reducing taxes, among other changes. Prior to her disappearance, Halsey had become the most unpopular president in Federation history due to banning the production and sale of the narcotic Onionhead, enacting multiple tax hikes, and conducting aggressive military campaigns against dissident Federal frontier systems. One of the Federation's most well-known contemporary politicians, Halsey was elected President of the Federation in 3300 and served until June 2, 3301, when she lost a vote of no-confidence that was called after she went missing in the Starship One disaster.

Chukwuma Grant, independent journalist Whether she is a visionary, a lunatic or a brilliant political manipulator remains to be seen. Halsey made extraordinary claims of encountering super-intelligent beings and seeing paradise. In that escape pod, she escaped from more than an exploding ship – she escaped her previous self.
Her subsequent 'visions' made her politically toxic, at least as far as the Federation was concerned, allowing her to simply walk away from presidential life. Starship One's destruction transformed Halsey – something that she herself could not possibly have planned.
