Stargazer Court‑Martial Prosecution Panel

Military Judicial Prosecution and Court‑Martial Proceedings within Starfleet

Description

A Starfleet-appointed military prosecution team convened to try officers in the Stargazer court-martial. Functioning as the adversarial legal body, the panel assembled senior legal officers and prosecutors who pressed Captain Jean‑Luc Picard relentlessly over a multi-day proceeding. They operate under Starfleet's judicial framework, wield institutional authority to pursue disciplinary outcomes, shape career trajectories, and enforce compliance with military law. In the current material they serve primarily as a source of past legal trauma and institutional pressure that informs Picard's tactical and moral decisions regarding later disputes over Data's status.
