Arenas stood a little more hesitantly this time. Conternians and Kerlians were all well and good, but Gregor Docherty was a Lauchenoirian, and this meant Arenas felt slightly differently about his case. He carried on, regardless.
“Your honour, Captain Gregor Docherty was the captain of the LFS Erebus, a Lauchenoirian naval vessel which participated in the blockade of the island of Aeluria during the conflict. The island was blockaded on the orders of Prime Minister Suleman Chaher following a unilateral declaration of independence by the provincial government of Aeluria in May 2018.
During this blockade, no individual was allowed to leave or arrive at the island, and no supplies were allowed through. This led to widespread food and medicine shortages on the island, which in turn led to rationing. There was also a shortage of nicotine, after Kvaskm forces introduced illegal cigarettes to the island when arriving to support the Aelurian independence claim.
During the blockade, a ship carrying vital food and medicine supplies was turned back by Docherty’s ship. He threatened to fire on the vessel if it did not turn around, and prevented these vital supplies from reaching the island. Deaths in hospital on the island doubled during the war, as a result of the denial of medical supplies to the island. Docherty is responsible for these deaths.
During the war, the people of Aeluria were virtually prisoners on their island, thanks to Docherty. On the orders of Suleman Chaher he apprehended anyone attempting to leave the island, regardless of age or nationality, including children. These individuals were guilty of no crimes, and yet they were treated as criminals, just as Kerlians who try to flee their repressive regime are.
The supplies stopped by Gregor Docherty could have saved lives on Aeluria. The people who died through lack of access to medicine or food are dead because of his actions. He is responsible for what occurred on Aeluria, even without ever setting foot on the island himself.”

Oscar Neville pushed his glasses up the nose of his face as he got ready to make the short statement that was the only one he would make throughout the proceedings of the TRC. When he’d spoken to Docherty, he’d seen the face of a man who deeply regretted his actions, and thus there was only one thing to do.
“Your honour, my client Gregor Docherty pleads guilty to all charges, and would like this court to note that he deeply regrets the actions he took during the conflict.”
