United Earth tried senior Flaxen civilian and military leaders after the war. The proceedings in Wellington judged responsibility for genocide and allowed acquittal where evidence showed resistance to persecution.
Also recorded as: Wellington trials
Judgement and evidence
Hundreds of Flaxens faced judges and most were convicted. Some were acquitted after evidence that they had opposed the conquest or assisted threatened Humans. Networks that moved people into friendly territory and testimony from a hidden family were among the evidence supporting acquittal.[1]
Occupation and alternatives
United Earth troops maintained order on Venus, while soldiers below major were offered reeducation rather than compulsory life imprisonment. Eastcott attended at least a dozen trials before Brookes' case.[1]
