About

Defiant's crew is part of a fleet-wide movement to present a petition of grievances to the Admiralty. Violence must be no part of it. The continual sadism of Defiant's first officer makes this difficult, and when the captain is disabled, the chance for violence increases.

Can a crew maintain absolute non-violence while facing a sadistic officer and a mutinous tide? This maritime struggle pits rigid moral principles against the raw urge to strike back.
