Aldridge was the President of the planet Gyre.
Biography
President Aldridge became deeply involved in Gyre's labor crisis in 2390. After the crisis exacerbated into planet-wide unrest by Helghast laborers in response to factory owners accused of criminal negligence being acquitted, Aldridge condemned the Helghast and tried to reassure the public that the "criminals will be brought to justice and punished."[1]
However, Aldridge's government was unable to quell the riots that nearly consumed the entire planet. Eventually, Aldridge was forced to negotiate with the Helghast Workers Union Party.[2] This resulted in President Aldridge being forced to step down from office after a vote of no confidence by opposition parties, and he publicly admitted culpability for the crisis while hoping for a peaceful transfer of power.[3][4]
