Solais Five Topographical Overlay
A dynamic holographic projection shimmering across the Enterprise's bridge displays, the Solais Five topographical overlay renders the planet's war-torn surface in precise detail. Mountain ranges rise in jagged contours, valleys carve deep into the terrain, and scorch marks from recent battles mar the landscape with angry red highlights. Picard's fingers trace potential neutral zones while Worf's tactical sensors update hot zones in real-time. This strategic visualization becomes the crucible where Starfleet's mediation efforts crystallize – Data recalibrates elevation data as Riker points to defensible positions, all while Wesley monitors atmospheric interference that could disrupt negotiations. The overlay doesn't merely show geography; it codifies the fragile hope for peace in luminous contours.

Purpose
Providing real-time planetary terrain visualization for diplomatic site selection and conflict zone monitoring during the Solais Five ceasefire negotiations
Significance
Embodies the precarious balance between war and peace, transforming abstract conflict into measurable geography that both sides must physically navigate. Its neutral data becomes contested ground when faction leaders challenge interpretation rights, making the overlay both tool and trophy in the mediation process.
