With many central personnel lost in the war, the Earth Federation Government is forced to rebuild. Brian Midcrid, president of the Unified Colonies, assumes the presidency of the Federation. During an emergency session of the Federation Diet, he publicly acknowledges the existence of extraterrestrials and recounts the events of the L5 campaign to the populace, an announcement that will later be known as the Tokyo Declaration. He also declares that these aliens pose a serious threat to humanity.
