Emma Lindström

A skilled engineer and passionate conservationist, Emma Lindström took over the governorship from her father in 1184 and established Politeia IVs. Her most notable contribution was to establish the sophistocracy’s environmental policy, which in turn led to the accelerated development of mega-cities during the following three hundred years. A concentrated population left most of the planet available for planetary preserves and resource exploitation, and Emma drove the harmonious integration of Old Earth and native Politeian species seen across the world today. Sources close to her reported her brief time with her great-grandmother, Karin Lindström, played a key role, and that their meeting changed the face of an entire planet.
