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, granting 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. | 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.

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, and Kincaid was further tainted by his association with a political assassination engineered for his benefit. | |||

*Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]], head of the [[Alliance]] fleet in [[Zaonce]], has been charged with the assassination of former presidential candidate [[Fazia Silva]]. The shocking statement was delivered by Tashmira Silva, who became CEO of Silva Holdings Inc after her sister's death: "When the inquiry into Fazia's murder closed, I hired the [[Wallglass Investigations Agency]] at great expense to uncover the truth. They identified that a professional assassin with a background in the [[Alliance Defence Force]] was responsible. Unravelling a complex trail of financial evidence and encrypted communications led directly to Admiral Yamamoto. He personally arranged to have Fazia killed during the presidential election campaign, presumably to remove her political threat to his friend Gibson Kincaid." [[Interpol|Alliance Interpol]] recently verified the Wallglass report and has now detained Yamamoto pending trial. The Zaonce fleet has been placed under the joint command of the [[Council of Admirals]]. There has been no comment from President Kincaid.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5cefbc7ac12a58648955e8f2 GalNet: Admiral Yamamoto Arrested for Murder]</ref> | |||

*Prime Minister [[Edmund Mahon]] has called on President Gibson Kincaid to step down pending an official inquiry. Addressing the [[Alliance Assembly]], Mahon said: "President Kincaid's decision to assume direct command of the [[Zaonce]] fleet, coupled with allegations of illegal campaign funding, justify the suspension of his presidential term. Kincaid is now being protected by Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto|Yamamoto's]] ships as well as emissaries from the [[President of the Alliance|Office of the Alliance President]]. This autocratic behaviour must cease, and Kincaid must cooperate with our investigation or face impeachment." President Kincaid issued a response from his private residence in Zaonce: "These false accusations are further proof that the Alliance needs a single, strong leader. Unless the Assembly has irrefutable proof of illegality, the constitution states they cannot force me out of office."<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5ce6548becbd353a4635aeac GalNet: Mahon Demands End to Kincaid’s Presidency]</ref> | *Prime Minister [[Edmund Mahon]] has called on President Gibson Kincaid to step down pending an official inquiry.
