Description
From one of my earliest Polaris story concepts: the USS Polaris visits the planet Ardana, where the crew find themselves in the middle of a revolution. The Troglytes have finally rebelled against the Stratosians. The Polaris crew must make a dificut choice: shoud they side with an unjust order or join the brutal rebels?Models by me

VERY TOS style of art and story! Love it!

Thank you very much!
This actually sets up Starship Sieglinde's chief enineer's story. Ley is the first Troglyite in Starfleet!

Me. I call HQ for another assignment - and if it goes pear shaped - blame the asses back home.
Excellent render - can almost hear the theme tune!

Β To me, it seems rather obvious: negotiate a peace treaty. If the Stratosians balk, back the Troglytes, on the contingency that they obey rules of war.Β

Oh, you don't know this crew
The "episode" ends with Metlesits "losing" all of the ship's Type-III phaser rifles, calling it off as standard mission loss, with crates of them landing in the hands of the Troglytes.

Β Before or after the Stratosians proved to be a pain the ass? And why do I think I'd disagree with the Starfleet brass's opinion in this case?

Well, I imagine this scenario as it was meant to be: a class struggle as envisioned by Marx. So, the Stratosians were quite nasty when their working class, the Troglytes, turned against them.

Β Anyone who values superiority above all else get nasty when they don't get their way. I'd have recommended sending down a security team to deal with them. That would be their last chance for negotiations.
Β "This can go the easy way, or the hand way, but change is coming."

So Kirk and Spock did a crap job, and the First Fleet has to clean up the mess.
Will Captain Metlesits get a brief interlude with Vanna?Β

Let's just say Kirk and Spock did what they could to delay the inevitable. Metlesits just did what his heart dictated and helped the Troglytes win.
Also, he remained faithful to his wife
