United Federation of Planets v. Vice Admiral Minari Ashkeph.
This high-profile court martial revolves around the former commanding officer of the 38th Fleet who is alleged to have violated the prime directive and deserted her post in 2417. The long-awaited court proceedings will be open to the public.
The first session was cut short by the judge amid high tensions. This second session is expected to see the remainder of the witnesses for the prosecution.
Shift Time: beta
Audience: 38th Fleet, allies, interested spectators.
Attendance: OPEN - Anyone can attend on any character.
RP Format: Social
Setting: Starbase
Starting Point: Sector space for bridge invite. → Turbolift to crew deck → large room/mess hall. Spectators gather in the raised lounge area, overlooking the “court room”
The court martial will play out over at least two sessions, but there will be no timewarping, they will be actually separate sessions ICly as well. There are no restrictions on attendance. I expect each session to last 2-3 hours, but spectators are welcome to arrive late/leave early.
One way everyone can help out is by buying into the gravity of the situation, both at the actual trial and outside of it. The public trial of a disgraced admiral is a big deal and everyone can contribute to that atmosphere! If you intend to have your character disrupt the proceedings in any way, I just ask that you give me a heads up in advance.
