Object
Gatherer Ship Ritual Table
A large, central meeting table aboard the Gatherer ship that dominates the ceremonial space — broad, imposing, and built to accommodate formal seating and face‑to‑face exchange. Characters gather around its perimeter; Chorgan uses it as a stage for dominance by issuing a ritualized invitation to sit, Marouk sets a bottle of Acamarian brandy and the offer of amnesty upon its surface, and Picard negotiates from its edge while Yuta lingers nearby with a small bag.

Purpose
Provide a central surface for ritual seating, formal negotiations, and the placement of ceremonial tokens (such as offers of amnesty and brandy) during high‑stakes diplomatic exchanges.
Significance
Functions as the physical locus of ritual power and political theater: seating at the table constitutes a test of authority, items placed upon it symbolize conciliation, and actions taken around it escalate the scene toward betrayal and violence. The table frames character posturing and the struggle for legitimacy in the negotiation.
