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.

The Council of Admirals assumed joint command of the Zaonce ADF fleet in Yamamoto's absence.

*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> | |||

*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> | *Admiral [[Frederick Yamamoto]], head of the [[Alliance]] fleet in [[Zaonce]], has been charged with the assassination of former presidential candidate [[Fazia Silva]].
