Well that's ... underwhelming. Another CMD/DIP/SEC. Let's hope for some great stats.

From the thumbnail he looks pretty true to life, still ain't buying him though, I need my kidneys
Such a weakling. He should have weak stats to go with it.

I think you'll find that he's one of the heroes of the movie who stood in the way of the faction that wanted a war for their own ends. The rest of the plot revolved around them attempting to assassinate him because of that. He is definitely a good guy (tm).
You can draw a line directly from his decisions to Worf being in Starfleet. That's 11 seasons of awesome, give the man some credit!
Actually you only need one
Those are some "Galaxy's Okayest President" stats.

What did Kirk do? What would Sisko have done? Even Picard would have had some plan to figure out what was really going on (even while pretending to be as weak as this president actually was). He got lucky that there was a Spock and a Kirk and a Sulu to rescue his @$$ from his own naiveté.
Oh, I forgot. He also had the Romulan ambassador sit in on his classified briefings and then asked the Romulans' view on whether the Federation should go to war. Total dupe. I wouldn't use him if I got lucky and landed him in Dabo.

It's interesting how people see the world differently. I saw a guy who understood that war was to be avoided, and was willing to take a risk on that basis. He wanted to rescue Kirk you could see that, but he was also willing to sacrifice him for the greater good. The fact that he was targeted by the rebel faction shows that he had at least put a kink in their plans. I think he was far from a dupe (though I also get frustrated with Nunclus being in the room everytime I watch that scene!). Genuinely thought it was a great performance by Kurtwood Smith and was a good expression of Federation ideals.
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
Amen. I almost threw some dil at the pack for Elizabeth Dehner rather than the president (more for TOS love than skills or stats), before remembering the horrific odds of actually getting her.
Unfortunately, command, diplomacy and security seems to cover about 80% of Star Trek characters.

I did 2 pulls, each added a * to my Dehner. I'm happy!
Waste of DIL.
Arachnia Janeway is still one of my best as well (#2 base DIP, #1 voyage DIP, #2 voyage COM/DIP combo) but DIP is also arguably my deepest single skill, with 11 crew having a DIP base over 1000 and 10 others with proficiencies of at least 300/600. It’s the reason why I haven’t bothered putting the final star on Minuet or any additional stars on my 1/5* Professor Sato...I need more help elsewhere.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not on Admiral Cartwright's side here. The great hero of the movie -- which is my favorite of all the Star Trek films -- was Spock:
Spock was willing to use all the tools at his disposal, starting with diplomacy, but when necessary extending to covert action and later overt military action, to reach the right outcome for the Federation -- establishing a lasting peace.
Our naïve president, who never initiated the peace process and was completely oblivious to the conspiracy around him, would have gotten himself killed, and war would have been the likely outcome.

Turns out the recurring is Annorax in disguise, I just guessed the wrong disguise!
Spock being awesome and the UFP President being heroic even if he's limited by not having plot armor like the main characters is not mutually exclusive. Give the man a break.
