[i][b]After protocol-breaking order, Premeakis now lost prestige[/b][/i]

Premeakis, captain of Secra-class "Werelias", was sacked from his post after allegedly issuing orders to fire his Sharos to a forbidden area during a rebellion after a failed attempt at diplomacy with the warlike inhabitants of a planet designated as RQZ-020. The 160 year-old captain originally was to receive a demotion from a destroyer to a frigate captain, but the move by the Council came after reviewing the transaction history of Premeakis, which showed that an alteration was made that removed the concentrators and replaced it with regular particle weapon parts. This modification has the potential to turn the Werelias' Sharos cannon into a WoMD, a Weapon of Mass Destruction. 

WoMDs are defined by section 2 of the Weaponry Limits Protocol as "weapons with the potential to cause massive collateral and surface damage" and "having a blast radius of more than 10 kilometers".

"In accordance with the Military Protocol, we ordered the release of Premeakis from his duties as Captain", the spokesperson of the Council said in a press conference last 8 hours ago at Noradius time.

"The Dominion sympathizes too much." Premeakis defended himself. "Dangerous things are meant to be disposed, not kept."

The modification is being reversed. Deputy Captain Forolla will act as a replacement.

Meanwhile, attempts to hail for diplomacy for RQZ-020 inhabitants are continuing, as this race is warp-capable and might trace Kksyn worlds if attempted to be left alone. Fraile-class Aravius, named in honor of late Councilor Aravius Arelle who died a month ago, is currently the sole ship in orbit of the planet, continuing to take hits from the hostiles.
