Director

The Sheliak Director functions as the Sheliak delegation's senior legal and diplomatic arbiter, enforcing the Sheliak Corporate Directive with clinical, hyper-legal rigor. Addressed directly by Captain Picard during negotiation, the Director privileges statute over persuasion, dismissing human entreaties and ordering transporter expulsion when procedural criteria are unmet. Their formal contempt for biological claims and bureaucratic finality constrict diplomatic flexibility, transforming attempts at compromise into a juridical impasse and hastening the colony's descent toward desperate action.
