But freedom never comes cheaply, and now, we rebuild. I promise this to every man, woman and child on [[Earth]] and in its colonies. While we will continue to strive for a peaceful coexistence with other species, humanity will never again allow itself to be the victim of aggression.

| | ===Presidential inauguration=== |
| Doctor Ruth Charet was one of a number of politicians and academics who vyed for the post of [[President of the Unified Earth Government|president]] of the [[Unified Earth Government]] following the cessation of [[Human-Covenant War|war]] against the [[Covenant]] and amidst the official transition back to [[civilian]] governance.<ref name="WaypointTerrenceHood">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/lord-terrence-hood '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Terrence Hood'']</ref> Doctor Charet was installed as [[President of the Unified Earth Government|president]] on [[2553#January|January 8, 2553]].<ref name="Twitter">[https://twitter.com/bsangel/status/685549382628868096 Jessica Shea on Twitter]</ref> In her inaugural speech she emphasized that now that the [[Human-Covenant War|war]], [[human]]ity could finally breathe again.{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}} And though the conflict's cost in lives had been enormous, she reminded everyone that freedom never comes cheaply and that now they could rebuild. Doctor Charet additionally promised that while the UEG would strive for a peaceful coexistence alongside alien species, the human race would never again allow itself to be the victim of aggression. She claimed that moment to mark the start of humankind's reclaimation of its rightful place in the universe. On [[2553#January|January 26]] President Charet held a reception. Those invited included [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] and [[David Agnoli]], [[Minister for the Colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|HG2}}{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Hippocratica}} Within a matter of days following this the president unveiled her new [[Unified Earth Government cabinet|cabinet]] and Minister Agnoli was among the casualties, having been replaced in his role by [[Akeyo Oduya]].{{Ref/Reuse|HG3}}

| By October of [[2556]], President Charet and other UEG bureaucrats were embroiled in a political imbroglio surrounding the [[Treaty of 2552|alliance]] with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Charet had to work against not only the majority of the rest of the UEG in this regard, but also had to deal with meddling from [[ONI]] that risked the fragile peace.<ref>[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops]] #3</ref>

| | On March 24, [[2558]], she spoke at a ceremony commemorating the reopening of [[New Phoenix]], eight months after the city [[Battle of Earth (2557)|was attacked]] and had its quarantine lifted.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #7''</ref> |

| | {{Article Quote|Eight months ago when the New Phoenix event occurred, we did not know what to think, or how to react. |
| | |
| | After decades of war, we could have grown used to such terrors as these. Instead we refuse ourselves that callousness. We pause and acknowledge what we have lost. |
| | |
| | We remind ourselves of what it is we continue to live for. And that is our strength as a people.}} |
