For some reason, even though I SHOULD be working on Shadow Blade and the two prizes for my poetry contest...

...this occurred.

Yes, I have a fanfic knocking around in my head and I have come to my conclusion that the only way to exorcise it is by working it out of my system. (Never fear--I WILL still continue Shadow Blade editing!!)

I'm not going to give any spoilers as to what exactly is going on here except for this: what you're seeing from the Starfleet officers here isn't treason. Yes, it will get them in a lot of hot water when they have to explain themselves, but once everything is cleared up, I think any move to court martial them will be dropped. Nonetheless, this incident will be classified at the highest levels in both Federation and Cardassian circles due to the possibility of a public furor were the word to get out.

Two characters in this have actually been seen on Star Trek: TNG--Macet and Daro. Macet is the bearded man who looks a lot like Gul Dukat (same actor, duh), and Daro is the man knelt with the disruptor rifle. For their faces I used references, but the rest I just pulled off the top of my head. References were also used for the faces--not the poses--of Folani (the Bajoran ensign) and Daro, and also for the detailing on the Cardassian uniforms that most of them wear.

I know it's not perfect, but this is still the most complex "group photo" I've ever attempted. Somebody told me once awhile ago that I needed to work on how I pose my characters and make them look a bit more lifelike in that regard, so that was my main goal in this.

I totally love the details! You really put a lot of work in those suits, didn't you? It looks awesome :)

This is great :) I can believe the 15 hours - all those different textures on the uniforms and details on the faces must have taken a fair while!
