Administrative Headquarters sign

Sign noting Chen's full name

The Honorable Robert Chen was a Human who served as governor of the State of California during the early 21st century.

In April 2024, there was graffiti in Los Angeles calling for Chen to be recalled. (PIC: "Mercy")

When the Bell Riots broke out in September of that year in Sanctuary District A, Chen issued a statement saying that the violence would be quelled and the district secured. At first, he sent Preston to negotiate with the hostage takers, which proved unsuccessful. Losing patience with the continuing unrest, and hearing rumors that the hostages were already dead, Chen ordered the SFPD and the National Guard to move in and quell the rioters by force. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I", "Past Tense, Part II")

Chen's first name "Robert" was not spoken on screen, but appeared on the sign hanging over the entrance to the District Processing Center's administrative building for Sanctuary District A.
