Former Research and Development Analyst, Zack Shado, has been found guily of trying to hire away new
recruits, treason, and providing sensitive data to outside sources.

Zack Shado, a male human, showed no emotion as the Trade Federation Council returned its verdict after
five days of deliberation.

The Council must now decide whether his actions merit the death penalty. If executed, Shado would be the
first person to be sentenced to death for treason in Federation history.

Investigators said that Shado, a promising new addition who had risen through the ranks quickly in the
government, was involved in several counts of trying to lure away new recruits, theft of a Federation vessel,
and removing sensitive data from several terminals and transmitting it to outside parties that have remained
unnamed.

When he was arrested in open space near Toydaria, the arresting officer allegedly found contact information
for several notable members of the galactic community. He also had three datacards with Trade Federation
data on him as well. Among the information he was in possession of was a complete list of Trade Federation
research projects, an overview of the R&D funding, and detailed schematics of a prototype Federation vessel
slated to start production in the coming year.




Zack Shado will be transported to Morrock, the Trade Federation maximum security prison complex where he
will become the first resisdent of the multi-million credit prison city.

One council member, who wished to remain nameless, was quoted as saying "Shado's actions betrayed the trust
of his Directors, the council, and all Federation members."
