[[Sire]] '''Solon''' is [[The Fleet (TOS)|the Fleet]]'s [[Chief Opposer]], or prosecuting opposition who attempts to confirm [[Starbuck (TOS)|Starbuck]]'s guilt in the termination of the widely disliked [[Ortega|Flight Sergeant Ortega]].<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
However, Starbuck chooses not to accept the plea. A self-defense plea would boot him from the military just as would a life-sentence.<br />
<br />
Testimony about the crime overheard from [[Karibdis]] (alias [[Pallon]]) proves Starbuck's innocence in the matter. Solon takes the loss professionally ([[TOS]]: "[[Murder on the Rising Star]]").<br />
