One of the recurring references to the Concord in the Star*Drive stuff is about how it was really thrown together and stuck with the leftovers of vanished stellar nations. An actual uniformed Concordan presence could work too, I think. If someone wants to play our "supervision". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[sblock]As I'm thinking this guy through, I still can't see him as an official member of the military. It's certainly possible that that could change for him over time in the right circumstances. But I think he could work even up to being a civilian in a military environment...as long as he didn't come on board entirely willingly. The plea bargaining idea works for me. I can see him trying to hack the wrong datacore and getting caught. Something harmless enough that it's illegal, but he doesn't come across as a terrorist or something of that sort. His plea bargain/probation is a term of service that's supposed to be rehabilitory and constructive. He might take to it. Hard to say.[/sblock]</blockquote>
