Season 7 Episode 14: Spotlight Series Section 31 - Star Trek Deep Space Nine "Inter Arma Enim Silent Legs"
Description
We continue our Section 31 Spotlight Series with episode 2, looking at Deep Space Nine's Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges. Inter arma enim silent leges is a Latin phrase that literally means "For among arms, the laws are silent" but is more popularly rendered as "In times of war, the law falls silent." While attending a conference on Romulus, which is never a good idea it would seem for Dr. Bashir, Bashir becomes embroiled in an elaborate scheme devised by Section 31 as a way to ensure the Romulans remain on the side of the Federation in the Dominion War. This episode is full of intrigue, politics, and scheming....everything that makes for a good Section 31 episode. We learn more about Sloan, Section 31 and its intentions, and how far Bashir is willing to go...or not go.
