Fado

Fado was a vice chairman of the Federation Supreme Council in 2266.

Fado, along with the supreme chairman and vice chairman Hajara, presided over the preliminary hearing in which Captain James T. Kirk was charged with accepting a bribe from an illegal mining operation. Fado submitted as evidence a deposit of seven million credits in Kirk's bank account, and a video tape showing Kirk meeting with Liji Bragg, the head of the operation, on the planet Zeayana. Kirk later learned from Fado's secretary Ilana that the video had been taken by Nuri Jakarz, and that Kirk's indictment might lead to Fado becoming the next supreme chairman. Convinced that Fado was the one trying to frame him, Kirk investigated Jakarz's home and discovered that the video had been faked, only to find that it was actually Hajara who was behind the scheme.
