Maria Caycedo

Maria Caycedo was a Human female of Martian origins who lived in the 22nd century. She was was a senior member of the Martian Parliment, who strongly opposed Mars's entrance into the newly establised United Federation of Planets. For this, the artificial intelligence known as Uraei clandestinely arranged her death by taking advantage of Caycedo's severe peanut allergie and the public believed it to be an accident. Her replacement delivered the deciding vote in support of Mars's application for Federation membership.
