'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is | '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a former [[President of the Alliance]]. He served as the Governor of [[Zaonce]] prior to assuming the [[Alliance]] presidency in 3303, and successfully ran for re-election in October 3304 against entrepreneur [[Fazia Silva]] and [[Council Member|Councillor]] [[Elijah Beck]]. He was a vocal proponent of streamlining the Alliance's bureaucracy by expanding the powers of the office of Alliance President, but his proposal was ultimately rejected by the [[Alliance Assembly]] in favor of the creation of a presidential diplomatic corps. | ||
Kincaid's second term became turbulent as he began promoting militarism and acting beyond the purview of his office, and this aggression took a toll on his reputation. In May 3305, Councillor Beck accused Kincaid of campaign finance violations, and the Assembly approved a formal inquiry into the allegations. Further complicating matters, [[Council of Admirals]] member [[Frederick Yamamoto]] granted command of the Zaonce [[Alliance Defence Force]] fleet to Kincaid, | Kincaid's second term became turbulent as he began promoting militarism and acting beyond the purview of his office, and this aggression took a toll on his reputation. In May 3305, Councillor Beck accused Kincaid of campaign finance violations, and the Assembly approved a formal inquiry into the allegations. Further complicating matters, [[Council of Admirals]] member [[Frederick Yamamoto]] granted command of the Zaonce [[Alliance Defence Force]] fleet to Kincaid, giving an Alliance President the unprecedented power to issue orders to an ADF fleet directly. [[Alliance Prime Minister]] [[Edmund Mahon]] called on Kincaid to resign, but Kincaid rejected Mahon's demand. | ||
A major blow was dealt to Kincaid on June 1, 3305, when his ally Admiral Yamamoto was arrested for bankrolling the murder of Fazia Silva, which authorities believed was carried out to aid Kincaid's reelection campaign. The Council of Admirals assumed joint command of the Zaonce ADF fleet in Yamamoto's absence. On June 7, it came to light that Kincaid was behind a conspiracy involving Yamamoto and other influential individuals which sought to move the Alliance's capital to Zaonce and then establish Kincaid as the Alliance's supreme ruler. | A major blow was dealt to Kincaid on June 1, 3305, when his ally Admiral Yamamoto was arrested for bankrolling the murder of Fazia Silva, which authorities believed was carried out to aid Kincaid's reelection campaign.

*President Gibson Kincaid has been removed from office after a majority vote in the [[Alliance Assembly]], following charges of treason, murder and corruption. The date of his trial is expected to be confirmed soon. [[Alliance Interpol]] confirmed that Kincaid was detained while attempting to flee his personal estate on [[Zaonce]]. A firefight broke out between Interpol agents and emissaries from the [[President of the Alliance|Office of the Alliance President]], acting as Kincaid's personal bodyguards. Several fatalities were later confirmed. A number of influential corporate and political figures who supported Kincaid's conspiracy to gain executive control of the [[Alliance]] have also been arrested, including a senior director at the [[Bank of Zaonce]]. Prosecutions are expected to rely heavily on the recent testimony of Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]] and a detailed report provided by the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]]. Tashmira Silva, who privately commissioned the report, told the media: "I am satisfied that Kincaid will at last face justice for his crimes, including my sister's murder. [[Fazia Silva|Fazia]] championed fairness, and succeeded as an entrepreneur by believing in others, she would be pleased to know that the Alliance has been purged of such a corrupt presence."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5d0239210af2d9467f36c791 GalNet: President Kincaid Impeached]</ref> | |||

*The [[Alliance Tribune]] has revealed that Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]] has committed multiple crimes at the behest of Alliance president Gibson Kincaid. In a detailed report, journalist [[Vanya Driscoll]] said: "As part of a plea bargain to avoid life imprisonment, Yamamoto has provided [[Interpol|Alliance Interpol]] with data regarding actions carried out on the direct orders of President Kincaid. Along with the assassination of presidential candidate [[Fazia Silva]], Yamamoto arranged to murder, injure and intimidate many others to facilitate Kincaid's rise to power. The admiral coordinated his efforts with a number of influential corporate, military and political figures, who allied themselves with Kincaid in exchange for certain advantages. This included a [[Bank of Zaonce]] senior director, who illegally redirected funds to bankroll Kincaid's re-election campaign. Kincaid's ultimate aim was to transfer executive power from [[Alioth]] to [[Zaonce]], establishing a base of support to eventually become the supreme ruler of the Alliance. But with such a detailed and damning testimony from Yamamoto, it seems impossible that his presidency can survive these revelations."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cf7db72967af53dca26db3b GalNet: President Kincaid's Conspiracy Exposed]</ref> | *The [[Alliance Tribune]] has revealed that Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]] has committed multiple crimes at the behest of Alliance president Gibson Kincaid.
