## Resource

The season finale of Starfleet Academy. In the season finale, we pick up right after the cliffhanger of “300th Night.” The Federation is trapped behind a massive barrier of Omega‑47 mines , a catastrophic technology capable of destroying subspace if detonated. The U.S.S. Athena , with the cadets aboard, is stranded on the wrong side of the minefield. Meanwhile, Nus Braka —the season’s main antagonist—launches his final plan. He captures Captain Nahla Ake and Anisha Mir , staging a dramatic mock trial to rally anti‑Federation factions and justify sealing the Federation off forever. In this livestream audio of Sunday's blizzard-y live broadcast, Wes talks about the episode.
