Kirk
grew disgusted, and determined to end the war. Seizing an
opportunity, he took control of the war room and destroyed
the computers that ran Eminiar's part of the war. Then he
offered Anan 7 a choice: make real war, with real weapons –
or make peace. Anan 7, with the help of Federation
Ambassador Robert Fox, decided to attempt peace.

Arriving at the Division of
Control, Fox and his attaché were immediately
rounded up and herded towards a disintegration
station. Only with his death imminent did Fox begin
to understand the nature of the Eminian Union.
Fortunately, just as they reached the chamber, Spock
(who had been able to contact the ship and discover
that Fox was on the planet) intervened before the
ambassador could be reduced to atoms, and took him
to the war room, where Kirk was being held. After
Kirk and Spock ended the war by destroying the
computers that ran it, Fox offered to remain as a
negotiator, to help the two rivals hammer out a
peace treaty. |

SPECIES: Eminian Female
Mea 3 was an attaché to the High
Council of Eminiar VII. In this capacity, she led a
small delegation to receive a landing party that
consisted of James T. Kirk, Spock, Yeoman Tamura,
and security officers Galloway and Osborne. She
escorted them to the High Council, and also warned
them they were in grave danger. But before she had a
chance to elaborate on that danger, the High Council
received them – and Vendikar attacked. That attack
included the virtual destruction of the USS
Enterprise, realizing Mea's warning, and leading to
the imprisonment of the landing party.
Shortly after escaping custody, the landing party
encountered Mea again, as she was preparing to
perform her socially-mandated duty, and enter a
disintegration station. They prevented her from
committing suicide, and kept her alive until after
Kirk ended the war. Mea was passionate in her
defense of the social contract of suicide
established to enable her planet and Vendikar to
fight their war without damaging the cultures that
sustained it. The thought of stepping into a machine
that would reduce her to atoms did not faze her, but
the thought of real war, and its effects on her
society, horrified her. |

Tamura was part of the landing
party that visited Eminiar VII. During the mission,
Spock asked her for a scientific survey to identify
the nature of Vendikar's attack. Her confusing lack
of confirmation for the attack was one clue that
helped Spock realize the war between Eminiar and
Vendikar existed only as a series of computer
models.
Later, Spock left her in charge of Mea 3, with
instructions to prevent Mea from reporting to a
disintegration station, as citizens of Eminiar VII
dutifully did when declared casualties. |

SPECIES: Human Male
Sar 6 was either a member of the
High Council of the Eminian Union, or an attaché to
that council. He assisted the High Council, and
specifically Anan 7, in managing the war and
launching attacks. He was familiar with the
computers that ran the war. Over his strenuous
objections, Captain James T. Kirk of the Federation
starship USS Enterprise destroyed those computers,
taking the first step towards a hoped for peace
between Eminiar and Vendikar. |
