Sounds very much like a crime syndicate or reactionary political force (or both). Dem'mit already threw one Y'vakkon wrench into their works, so they want him gone, and using his own people as the tip of the spear is the perfect cover. And then the only witness dies of her disease on Tchehaf, and every loose end is neatly tied up.

Or so they think. They don't know Dem'mit very well. And they know Y'velle even less. They aren't the only ones with allies.

i cannot figure out why but i just love his nose....
