[[Sire]] '''Solon''' is [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]]'s [[Chief Opposer]]: the prosecutor attempting to confirm [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s guilt in the termination of the widely disliked Flight Sergeant [[Ortega]].


Solon seems quite certain that Starbuck is guilty, as everything appears to add up. [[Cassiopeia]] and Solon, at different times during the trial, attempt to get Starbuck to plead that Ortega's death was the result of self-defense, given that Ortega's weapon was drawn.
Solon is [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]]'s prosecuting opposition who attempts to confirm [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s guilt in the termination of the widely disliked [[Ortega|Flight Sergeant Ortega]]. He seems quite certain that Starbuck is guilty, as everything appears to add up. With [[Cassiopeia]] -- at different times than one another -- both attempt to get Starbuck to plead that Ortega's death was the result of self-defense, given that Ortega's laser was drawn. However, Starbuck chooses not to accept, as a life-sentence and being unable to serve the military amount to the same thing to him.


However, Starbuck chooses not to accept the plea, for a self-defense plea would boot him from the military just as would a life-sentence.
The overheard testimony about the crime by [[Karibdis]] (alias [[Pallon]]) proves Starbuck's innocence in the matter; Solon takes it professionally, at any rate ([[Murder on the Rising Star]]).


Testimony about the crime overheard from [[Karibdis]] (alias [[Pallon]]) proves Starbuck's innocence in the matter. Solon takes the loss professionally {{OS|Murder on the Rising Star}}.
