Angosia

A vast, high‑vaulted domed chamber at the heart of Angosia’s government, the rotunda is ringed by Corinthian columns and towering galleries, lit by warm civic lighting and filtered sunlight through stained glass. Marble floors and carved benches amplify measured footsteps and polite conversation; ceremonial banners and a raised dais frame official proceedings. Populated by aides, guards, diplomats and senators, the space serves as a stage for civic ritual — and, when crisis intrudes, a public arena for political reckoning. In the episode, the rotunda’s cultivated calm is shattered first by news of the Lunar Five breakout and later by veterans who burst in, forcing Picard and others to interpose as hidden culpabilities become an inescapable, public crisis.

Sensors Restored — Angosia's Confession, Away Team Ordered

Rotunda Reckoning: Picard's Moral Ultimatum

Angosia, embodied here by its senate chamber and political elite, is the sovereign stage where engineered soldiers confront their creators; the planet's policies and reputation are directly on trial as the incident threatens national legitimacy.

Atmosphere

S3E11 · The Hunted

Geopolitical context and origin of the victims — the sovereign authority responsible for the crisis.

Atmosphere

National shame and political tension overlaid with fear; charged and volatile.

Functional Role

Home-state context and source of responsibility; origin of policy choices that produced the veterans and the political consequences they now face.
