Galek Sar's Crew Skeleton
A desiccated humanoid skeleton slumped against a corroded communications console aboard an ancient warship. Bones sit bleached and brittle, fingers locked around fractured controls; scraps of a dark, decayed uniform cling to the ribs. A slow, mechanical beep issues from the console beside the remains, drawing the away team’s attention. Team members pause, scan the relic, and treat it as a forensic anchor that makes the ship’s past violence immediately tangible.

Significance
Acts as concrete proof of prior casualties and turns an archival confession into urgent moral pressure. The corpse grounds the captain’s admission in lived consequence, heightens Picard’s unease, and functions narratively as the wreck’s physical testimony—an image that later reverberates as a casual simile in Ten-Forward, linking private embarrassment and larger historical loss.
