Story: Remembrance

Approximate lines/words: 3/38

Bloated and arrogant, Sen Garot commands the salvage vessel Miniver with petty cruelty. A product of nepotism, he embodies the complacency and corruption of the post‑Federation era. Garot’s authority is hollow — he bullies subordinates like Turmos Kell to mask his own incompetence. His greed for metal scraps and disregard for history reveal a man stripped of curiosity or conscience. Garot’s presence anchors the story’s critique of bureaucratic decay: a commander obsessed with quotas, blind to the ghosts of rebellion buried beneath the dust.
