Quadrant-Mapped Tactical Alarm Wall Chart

A parchment-based tactical display with acetate overlays and embedded amber diodes that pulse to show compromised Federation systems. Located in the communications room's tactical station during 'The Monster of Peladon Part 1', it is ignored by Eckersley and the Alpha Centauri Ambassador during the arsenal breach crisis.

Purpose

To visually display real-time alerts and tactical threats across Federation operations, enabling rapid assessment of compromised systems and areas requiring immediate intervention.

Significance

The wall chart acts as stark evidence of Federation neglect, its ignored warnings underscoring the organization’s indifference to Peladonian turmoil. Its persistent flashes during the armoury breach crystallize the moment policy failures make violence inevitable, forcing Queen Thalira to choose between escalation and restraint.
