So Picard went rogue, but what of the other 1,000 (possibly up to 6,000) other crew members (not to mention civilian family members and passengers)? They just went along with being pirates or Picard just dumped them off on some random planet/moon? I feel that there wouldn’t be enough pro-pirate crew/officers to pull this off. There is so much Federation/Starfleet loyalty that I don’t feel he would be able to round up enough people to keep the ship staffed (if Geordi decided not to join up and automate the ship). Active resistance from within the the ship by officers/crew/family members/passengers would eventually stop Picard dead in space.
They have an (annual?) “Captain Picard Day”. Most of the crew will be with him. Drop off the civilians and the botanists somewhere…safe. 👀 Decimate, starting with the planet Scotland candle ghosts and any other embarassing enemies. Find the Nexus again.
